Physical Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists deliver evidence-based treatments for post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, and mobility restoration. Using modalities like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and manual therapy, we create customized plans to improve function and reduce pain. Each session combines hands-on care with home exercise programs to maximize recovery outcomes for patients of all ages.
Sports Specific Rehab
This specialized program addresses sport-related injuries through tailored rehabilitation plans that consider both the athlete's specific condition and their sport's physical demands. Certified athletic trainers utilize functional movement assessments and sport-specific drills to safely return athletes to competition while preventing re-injury through performance enhancement techniques.
Graston Technique
IASTM/Graston Technique employs stainless steel instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions and fascial adhesions. Combined with therapeutic exercises, this evidence-based approach improves range of motion and reduces pain for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Certified clinicians use ergonomic tools to deliver precise manual therapy with measurable outcomes.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
These comprehensive evaluations measure physical abilities following work-related injuries. Using standardized protocols, we assess strength, endurance, and movement patterns to determine return-to-work readiness. The objective data helps establish job accommodations or restrictions while guiding vocational rehabilitation plans for employers and insurance providers.
Fall Prevention Programs
Designed for adults over 65, this program addresses age-related mobility challenges through balance training and strength exercises. Certified therapists evaluate gait patterns and neuromuscular function to create home-based exercise routines that reduce fall risks. Education on environmental modifications complements physical interventions to maintain independence and activity levels.
