Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves skilled hand techniques to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and restore function. Our therapists use targeted pressure and movement to address musculoskeletal issues, making it ideal for patients recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions like arthritis.
Aquatic Exercise
Aquatic exercise leverages water's buoyancy to create low-impact workouts for patients with joint pain or limited mobility. This therapy improves strength and flexibility while minimizing stress on the body, particularly beneficial for post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management.
Fall Prevention
Our fall prevention program assesses balance and gait to reduce fall risks for older adults. Through customized exercises and environmental assessments, we enhance stability and confidence, addressing factors like muscle weakness and medication side effects that contribute to falls.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy uses electrical stimulation to manage pain and promote tissue healing. This modality targets nerve pathways and muscle groups to alleviate chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from injuries or surgeries.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility and independence after a stroke. Our therapists employ task-specific training and adaptive techniques to improve motor skills, coordination, and daily living activities for long-term recovery.
