Physical Therapy
Our outpatient orthopedic physical therapy addresses musculoskeletal conditions through evidence-based treatments. We specialize in post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, and injury rehabilitation using manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and advanced techniques like ASTYM. Patients receive individualized care plans focused on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing future injuries through functional training and patient education.
Pelvic Health
Specialized pelvic floor therapy treats conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery. Our certified specialists use manual techniques, therapeutic exercise, and patient education to address pelvic floor dysfunction. This service supports women through prenatal/postnatal care, managing conditions like diastasis recti and pelvic organ prolapse while emphasizing long-term wellness and functional improvement.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to relieve muscle tension and pain. Using thin filament needles, we elicit local twitch responses to deactivate trigger points, restoring normal muscle function. This technique effectively treats conditions like neck/back pain, headaches, and sports injuries while improving range of motion and accelerating recovery through neuromuscular re-education.
Breast Cancer Rehab
Comprehensive post-cancer rehabilitation addresses lymphedema, surgical scarring, and mobility limitations. Certified lymphedema therapists use manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and tailored exercise programs to reduce swelling and improve shoulder function. Our survivorship care focuses on restoring physical function, managing treatment-related side effects, and enhancing quality of life through personalized rehabilitation plans.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation improves organ mobility and function through gentle manual techniques. By addressing fascial restrictions affecting internal organs, we alleviate pain and dysfunction related to digestive issues, pelvic floor disorders, and post-surgical adhesions. This approach enhances circulation, nerve function, and lymphatic flow while addressing musculoskeletal complaints with visceral components like chronic back pain.
