Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility and function after injuries or surgeries. Using hands-on techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, we create individualized treatment plans for conditions like back pain, joint issues, and post-stroke rehabilitation. Patients receive one-on-one care from licensed therapists with expertise in sports injuries, neurological disorders, and chronic pain management. Treatment includes manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education to prevent future injuries.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps patients regain independence in daily activities after injuries or illnesses. Our specialists address upper extremity conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome while providing holistic treatment for whole-body functional limitations. We focus on improving fine motor skills, coordination, and strength through customized interventions. Therapists work closely with patients to adapt tasks and environments, ensuring practical recovery that aligns with personal and professional needs.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapy services combine multiple techniques to address musculoskeletal pain and promote healing. Treatments include Swedish massage for relaxation, sports massage for injury prevention, and neuromuscular therapy for chronic pain conditions. Therapists target trigger points and muscle imbalances to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, whether addressing acute injuries or maintaining overall wellness.
Exercise-Based Rehabilitation
This cash-based program offers continued therapy for patients beyond insurance coverage limits. Combining rehabilitation techniques with functional exercises, it improves strength, flexibility, and balance under therapist supervision. Sessions focus on correcting movement patterns, preventing re-injury, and building lifelong fitness habits. The 50-minute one-on-one sessions use integrative approaches to address both current limitations and future wellness goals.
Vestibular Rehab
Specialized vestibular rehabilitation treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by inner ear issues. Our certified specialists use evidence-based techniques like canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV treatment. The program includes customized exercises to improve gaze stability, balance, and fall prevention. Treatment plans address both acute symptoms and long-term functional recovery, helping patients regain confidence in daily activities.
