Services
Manual Therapy
Joint and soft tissue mobilization techniques improve blood flow and release restrictions causing pain. Our therapists use myofascial release and manual techniques to address musculoskeletal limitations. This evidence-based approach effectively treats chronic pain, post-injury stiffness, and movement impairments.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy accelerates healing through photobiomodulation. This non-invasive modality reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and promotes tissue repair for acute injuries and chronic conditions. Patients benefit from faster recovery times without medication side effects.
Running Program
Biomechanical evaluations identify gait abnormalities affecting performance and injury risk. Custom footwear prescriptions and training modifications address specific running mechanics. This program prevents injuries while improving efficiency for recreational and competitive runners.
Vestibular Program
Specialized balance assessments identify fall risks from neurological or age-related conditions. Individualized exercise programs improve stability and confidence for seniors and post-concussion patients. Our evidence-based protocols reduce fall incidents through targeted interventions.
Foot Biomechanics
Comprehensive foot evaluations identify mechanical issues affecting the kinetic chain. Custom orthotics and footwear recommendations address overpronation, plantar fasciitis, and other biomechanical dysfunctions. This specialty improves lower extremity alignment and reduces compensatory injuries.
