Services
Physical Therapy
Our one-on-one physical therapy sessions focus on identifying and correcting movement pattern dysfunctions. Using comprehensive evaluations, we develop personalized treatment plans that combine manual therapy, dry needling, and strength training. Our licensed therapists work with patients to address chronic pain, recover from injuries, and improve overall mobility through evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs and goals.
Dry Needling
Functional dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and restore normal tissue function. This technique uses sterile monofilament needles to release tight muscle bands, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. Our certified therapists integrate dry needling with other rehabilitation strategies to address chronic pain conditions, sports injuries, and movement restrictions, promoting faster recovery and improved muscle function.
3D Gait Analysis
Advanced 3D motion capture technology assesses running biomechanics with eight high-speed cameras. This comprehensive analysis identifies subtle movement inefficiencies that contribute to injury risk. By comparing results to a database of elite runners, we create targeted training programs to improve running economy, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance through precise biomechanical corrections.
VO2 Max Testing
VO2 max testing measures your body's maximum oxygen utilization during exercise. This assessment evaluates cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity, providing data to optimize training programs. By analyzing oxygen consumption patterns, we help athletes improve endurance performance and develop personalized exercise prescriptions that enhance overall fitness levels and athletic capabilities.
Women's Health
Specialized women's health physical therapy addresses pelvic floor dysfunction and related conditions. Our holistic approach examines whole-body biomechanics to identify underlying causes of pain or dysfunction. Treatment combines manual therapy, targeted exercises, and patient education to address issues like pelvic pain, incontinence, and pre/post-natal concerns, promoting optimal women's health outcomes.
