Services
Lower Back Pain
Our specialized treatment for lower back pain combines biomechanical assessment with advanced manual techniques. We use the Hesch Method for pelvic alignment, Strain Counter-Strain therapy, and muscle-energy techniques to address misalignments and muscle imbalances. Our evidence-based approach focuses on restoring proper joint function and muscle tone through targeted interventions that deliver faster, more lasting results for chronic back pain sufferers.
Pelvic Dysfunction
We treat pelvic floor dysfunction affecting urinary, fecal, and sexual health for patients of all genders. Our therapists employ biofeedback and manual techniques to address muscle tightness and coordination issues. Specialized care includes treatment for postpartum recovery, pelvic organ prolapse, and chronic pelvic pain conditions through personalized programs that combine education, manual therapy, and targeted exercise regimens.
Coccyx Pain
Our patented coccyx treatment combines McConnell taping techniques with manual therapy to correct tailbone misalignment. We use specialized taping protocols to reposition the coccyx while applying internal and external manual techniques to normalize surrounding muscle tension. This comprehensive approach addresses both structural alignment and muscular compensation patterns contributing to tailbone pain and discomfort.
Pregnancy/Post-Partum
Our specialized prenatal and postpartum care addresses musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy and recovery after childbirth. We treat diastasis recti, pelvic girdle pain, and postpartum recovery issues through targeted core stabilization, scar tissue management, and posture correction. Our programs help restore pelvic floor function, improve body mechanics, and address the physical demands of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Chronic Constipation
We address chronic constipation through pelvic floor muscle assessment and retraining. Our therapists identify and treat musculoskeletal contributors including abdominal scars and pelvic floor tightness. Using biofeedback and manual techniques, we help patients regain proper muscle coordination for bowel function through a comprehensive approach that addresses both structural and functional components of digestive health.
