Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Our orthopedic rehabilitation addresses injuries and conditions affecting muscles, bones, and joints. We treat post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and chronic pain through manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and advanced modalities. Patients benefit from improved mobility and reduced pain through our evidence-based approach.
Lymphedema Management
Certified lymphedema specialists provide comprehensive management for fluid buildup conditions. Our program includes manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and exercise regimens to reduce swelling and improve quality of life for patients with lymphatic system impairments.
Dry Needling
This technique targets muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and improve function. Our therapists use thin needles to stimulate healing in soft tissues, effectively treating conditions like back pain, headaches, and sports injuries while enhancing recovery outcomes.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized programs address dizziness and balance disorders through customized exercise protocols. Our therapists employ evidence-based techniques to improve gaze stability, reduce vertigo symptoms, and enhance overall balance safety for patients with vestibular system dysfunction.
Golf Physical Therapy
TPI-certified therapists deliver golf-specific rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Through biomechanical assessments and tailored exercise programs, we help golfers improve swing efficiency, prevent injuries, and optimize physical capabilities for better course performance.
