Services
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy at Atrium focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving function through customized treatment plans. Our therapists use hands-on techniques, therapeutic exercises, and advanced modalities like Alter-G to address musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Patients receive education on self-care strategies to maintain long-term wellness and prevent re-injury.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-surgical rehabilitation helps patients regain strength and mobility after procedures like joint replacements or rotator cuff repairs. Our therapists design individualized programs incorporating manual therapy, progressive exercises, and pain management techniques to accelerate recovery and minimize reliance on opioids.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and improve function. This technique is effective for conditions like chronic back pain, headaches, and sports injuries by releasing tight muscle bands and promoting natural healing processes.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves skilled hand movements to manipulate joints and soft tissues, reducing stiffness and pain. It is particularly beneficial for neck and shoulder injuries, enhancing range of motion and restoring normal movement patterns.
Alter-G Therapy
Alter-G therapy uses anti-gravity treadmills to reduce body weight during exercise, enabling safer movement for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries. This technology supports gait retraining and cardiovascular conditioning with minimal joint stress.
