Services
Vestibular Therapy
Our certified vestibular therapists identify causes of dizziness and balance issues. We implement targeted exercises to retrain the brain, improve ocular motor skills, and restore stable gait patterns. Patients learn compensatory strategies to manage symptoms during daily activities while addressing root neurological and muscular imbalances.
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
We treat musculoskeletal injuries across all major joints including shoulders, hips, knees, and spine. Our approach combines manual therapy with movement retraining to address conditions like arthritis, ligament tears, and post-surgical recovery. Treatment focuses on restoring mobility, rebuilding strength, and preventing future complications through biomechanical correction.
Pelvic Health Therapy
Specialized assessment and treatment for pelvic pain syndromes, bladder issues, and postpartum recovery. Our therapists address muscle imbalances, organ prolapse, and diastasis recti using both internal and external techniques. Programs focus on restoring pelvic floor function while improving core stability and daily functional movements.
Concussion Management
Certified staff create personalized concussion recovery programs combining vestibular rehabilitation, neck mobility work, and graduated physical activity. We address dizziness, headaches, and cognitive symptoms through evidence-based protocols while monitoring progress using standardized assessment tools for safe return to activities.
Custom Orthotics
Our gait analysis identifies biomechanical inefficiencies affecting feet, knees, hips, and back. We fabricate custom orthotics to correct alignment issues while providing activity-specific support for work, sports, or daily living. This reduces compensatory movement patterns and distributes forces evenly through the lower kinetic chain.
