Services
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized treatment addressing pelvic floor dysfunction through comprehensive assessment and targeted interventions. Our approach combines external/internal evaluations with therapeutic exercises to improve bladder control, sexual function, and pain management. Patients receive personalized programs addressing postpartum recovery, chronic pelvic pain, and musculoskeletal imbalances affecting core stability.
Pre and Postnatal Care
Comprehensive support for women experiencing physical changes during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. We address common issues like back pain, diastasis recti, and pelvic instability while providing safe exercise programs. Our services include cesarean section recovery, pelvic floor retraining, and guidance for returning to physical activity with proper body mechanics.
Sports Injury Recovery
Individualized rehabilitation programs for athletes recovering from sports-related injuries. Through movement pattern analysis and strength assessment, we develop targeted treatment plans to restore function and prevent re-injury. Our approach combines manual therapy with sport-specific training to help patients return to their desired activity level safely.
Pre and Postsurgical Care
Specialized physical therapy before and after orthopedic procedures to optimize surgical outcomes. Preoperative conditioning improves post-surgery recovery while postoperative programs focus on reducing swelling, restoring mobility, and rebuilding strength. Our evidence-based protocols help patients regain function more quickly following joint replacements or other orthopedic surgeries.

Ideal for patients with scheduling constraints or mobility limitations, our virtual visits include movement assessments, home exercise instruction, and progress monitoring.
