Aquatic Therapy
Our private aquatic therapy pool with underwater treadmill provides low-impact rehabilitation for patients with injuries or chronic pain. The 93F heated pool reduces joint stress while allowing weight-bearing exercises through adjustable resistance currents. Patients receive one-on-one care in a private room with immediate visual feedback via underwater video analysis to correct movement patterns.
Sports Medicine
Certified athletic trainers specialize in sports injury treatment and prevention for athletes of all levels. Services include Sportsmetrics ACL prevention training, ImPACT concussion baseline testing, and return-to-play protocols. We coordinate care with coaches, physicians, and parents to ensure safe recovery and performance optimization for junior high through professional athletes.
Neck/Back Pain Treatment
McKenzie Method-certified treatment addresses neck and low back pain through mechanical diagnosis and individualized exercise programs. This evidence-based approach often replaces costly imaging by identifying treatable movement patterns. Patients learn self-management techniques to reduce recurrence risks while progressing through directional preference exercises for disc herniations and sciatica.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Customized rehabilitation plans restore mobility and strength after joint replacements or orthopedic surgeries. Our therapists coordinate with surgeons to follow protocol-specific timelines while incorporating aquatic therapy for accelerated recovery. Patients receive progressive exercise programs targeting range-of-motion restoration and functional independence in daily activities.
ACL Prevention Training
Cincinnati Sportsmedicine-certified ACL prevention program uses video analysis to identify injury risks in athletes. This neuromuscular training improves landing mechanics and core stability to reduce anterior cruciate ligament tear risks. The program includes strength conditioning, plyometric drills, and biomechanical feedback for athletes participating in high-risk sports like soccer and basketball.
