Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs address musculoskeletal injuries and mobility limitations through customized treatment plans. Using manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like ultrasound, we restore function and reduce pain for patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions. Our approach combines clinical expertise with patient education to ensure long-term recovery and injury prevention.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized sports rehabilitation focuses on returning athletes to peak performance after injuries. Our therapists utilize sport-specific training, dry needling, and biomechanical analysis to address conditions like rotator cuff disorders and ligament sprains. Programs integrate strength training, agility drills, and injury prevention strategies tailored to individual sports requirements and competitive levels.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are designed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis. Using advanced casting techniques, we create personalized arch supports that improve gait efficiency and reduce stress on joints. This service enhances comfort and performance for both athletes and individuals with chronic foot issues.
Dry Needling
Trigger point dry needling targets muscle tightness and pain by inserting fine needles into affected areas. This technique releases knots, improves blood flow, and accelerates healing for conditions like tendonitis and chronic back pain. Combined with traditional therapy, it provides rapid relief for soft tissue injuries and movement restrictions.
Balance Retraining
Balance retraining programs address dizziness, vertigo, and instability through targeted exercises. Using specialized equipment and vestibular therapy techniques, we improve coordination and prevent falls for patients recovering from inner ear disorders or neurological conditions. Sessions focus on enhancing proprioception and functional mobility.
