Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal conditions through hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education. We specialize in treating sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, chronic pain, and movement dysfunctions. Our evidence-based approach combines spinal manipulation, dry needling, and biomechanical analysis to restore optimal function for patients of all activity levels.
Bike Fitting
Professional bike fitting services optimize cycling posture to eliminate pain and enhance performance. Our medical professionals analyze biomechanics to correct saddle height, cleat position, and handlebar alignment, preventing knee injuries and improving power transfer for cyclists at all skill levels.
Dry Needling
Dry needling treatments target muscular trigger points to alleviate pain and improve mobility. This technique effectively addresses chronic pain conditions, sports injuries, and postural dysfunctions by releasing muscle tension and promoting natural healing processes through precise needle insertion.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized sports rehabilitation programs focus on injury prevention and performance enhancement. Our therapists work with athletes across disciplines, providing biomechanical assessments, targeted strengthening exercises, and return-to-sport protocols tailored to specific athletic demands and competition goals.
Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular rehabilitation addresses balance disorders and dizziness through customized exercise programs. Our clinicians use specialized techniques to improve gaze stability, reduce vertigo symptoms, and enhance overall balance function for patients with inner ear conditions or post-injury dizziness.
