Services
Aquatic Therapy
Our specialized Swim-Ex pools in three locations provide controlled aquatic environments for rehabilitation. The 88-92F water temperature and adjustable resistance features enable safe range-of-motion exercises for post-operative patients, individuals with arthritis, and those recovering from musculoskeletal injuries. The 5-foot depth with adjustable platforms accommodates patients requiring lift chair assistance while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness through core engagement during sessions.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists administer trigger point dry needling to address muscular tightness and nerve-related pain. This technique uses thin filiform needles to elicit local twitch responses in targeted muscle tissue, effectively reducing spasms and improving flexibility. The treatment protocol follows evidence-based guidelines for conditions including chronic back pain, tennis elbow, and post-traumatic muscle restrictions, typically showing improvement within 3-4 sessions.
Custom Orthotics
We provide biomechanical assessments and custom-molded orthotic devices to correct gait abnormalities and alleviate foot-related pain. The process involves 3D foot mapping and pressure analysis to create personalized arch supports that improve posture, reduce joint stress, and enhance athletic performance. Patients receive comprehensive fitting instructions and follow-up adjustments to ensure optimal functional benefits.
Functional Testing
Our Occu-Pro System conducts comprehensive functional capacity evaluations measuring static strength, materials handling abilities, and job-specific task performance. Licensed therapists administer standardized assessments lasting 4 hours to determine work readiness following injury, with detailed reporting for employers and physicians. The testing includes validity criteria monitoring to ensure accurate measurement of physical capabilities.
Work Conditioning
The Triple 3 Program combines work simulation exercises with clinical therapy to prepare injured workers for job reintegration. This structured protocol addresses specific occupational demands through task-specific training while monitoring pain response and functional improvement. The program includes ergonomic assessments and employer consultation to prevent re-injury, with outcomes tracked through objective performance metrics.
