Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes water's physical properties to aid healing and improve mobility. Our Southwest location features an Aquatrex underwater treadmill system for safe, effective rehabilitation. This treatment benefits patients with arthritis, post-surgical conditions, and chronic pain through reduced joint stress and enhanced muscle strengthening.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation therapy delivers mild pulses to reduce pain and stimulate muscle recovery. We offer multiple modalities including TENS and NMES for treating muscle strains, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic conditions. Sessions combine with heat/cold therapy to enhance circulation and accelerate tissue healing.

Our golf-specific program addresses body limitations affecting swing mechanics. Certified specialists use manual therapy and fitness training to improve flexibility, strength, and balance. This service benefits amateur and professional golfers seeking to enhance performance while reducing injury risks through biomechanical analysis.

Specialized therapy for hand and upper extremity conditions restores function after injury or surgery. Our occupational therapists treat carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, and arthritis using custom splints and adaptive equipment.
