TMJ Therapy
Specialized treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders combines manual therapy, muscle relaxation techniques, and posture correction. Our clinicians use biofeedback and customized exercise programs to alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding. This evidence-based approach addresses both acute symptoms and chronic conditions, with therapists holding advanced certifications in cervical and temporomandibular therapeutics.
Pelvic Rehabilitation
Targeted interventions for pelvic floor dysfunction include internal manual therapy, biofeedback training, and postural re-education. Our specialists address conditions like vaginal pain, incontinence, and postpartum recovery through personalized treatment plans that combine visceral mobilization and muscle retraining techniques developed through decades of clinical experience.
Headache Management
Multi-modal headache treatment combines cervical manual therapy, trigger point release, and stress management techniques. Therapists utilize cold therapy applications and posture correction strategies based on current pain science research to address both tension headaches and migraine symptoms through non-invasive interventions.
Infant Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle craniosacral techniques address birth-related trauma and developmental asymmetries in infants. Our therapists use light touch methods to resolve feeding difficulties, colic symptoms, and positional plagiocephaly, with practitioners certified in specialized pediatric cranial techniques for safe and effective infant care.
Biofeedback Training
Advanced biofeedback systems measure muscle activity to teach patients neuromuscular control. This technology-assisted training helps manage chronic pain conditions, improves muscle recruitment patterns, and enhances relaxation responses through real-time physiological feedback integrated with traditional physical therapy methods.
