Services
Therapeutic Massage
Deep tissue massage targets muscle tension caused by sprains or strains. Our licensed therapists use pressure techniques to release soft tissue tension, restore function, and relieve pain. This treatment improves circulation and reduces edema, addressing both acute injuries and chronic conditions effectively.
Balance Therapy
Balance and vestibular therapy corrects dizziness and instability from inner ear issues. Our trained therapists use positioning techniques to treat vertigo, reduce nausea, and improve equilibrium. Patients learn exercises to enhance stability and reduce fall risks, especially in older adults.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy addresses mobility challenges through guided exercises and reconditioning. Our team helps patients regain strength, safely transition from bed to mobility, and improve coordination. This therapy benefits residents in retirement facilities and those recovering from injuries or neurological conditions.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation strengthens muscles using controlled electrical currents. Electrodes placed on the skin trigger muscle contractions, enhancing blood flow and promoting healing. This non-invasive treatment aids recovery from injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain management effectively.
TENS Unit Instruction
TENS unit instruction teaches patients to use portable devices for pain relief. Electrical signals disrupt pain transmission, offering drug-free management for chronic or acute conditions. Our therapists guide proper electrode placement and device settings to maximize comfort and mobility.
