Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility. This technique effectively treats chronic muscle tension, sports injuries, and postural imbalances by releasing tight fascia and promoting blood flow. Patients experience reduced inflammation and accelerated healing through this minimally invasive procedure performed by certified therapists.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for dizziness and balance disorders addresses inner ear dysfunction and neurological causes. Our therapists use customized exercises to improve gaze stability, reduce vertigo symptoms, and prevent falls. This evidence-based approach benefits patients with BPPV, concussion-related dizziness, and chronic balance impairments through progressive neuromuscular retraining.
Sports Performance Therapy
Performance-focused physical therapy combines movement analysis with sport-specific training. We develop injury prevention programs and recovery protocols for athletes at all levels. Our services include biomechanical assessments, functional movement screening, and corrective exercise programs to optimize athletic performance while reducing injury risk through targeted strength and mobility improvements.
Women's Health Physical Therapy

Our therapists provide individualized treatment plans incorporating manual therapy, core stabilization, and patient education. This approach effectively manages pelvic pain, improves postural mechanics, and restores functional mobility for women's health concerns across all life stages.
