Physical Therapy Evaluation
Our comprehensive 1-hour evaluation includes pain assessment, movement pattern analysis, and range-of-motion testing. Therapists evaluate flexibility, strength, and stability to create personalized treatment plans. We provide detailed education about diagnoses and communicate findings directly with referring physicians to ensure coordinated care.
Manual Therapy
This hands-on approach focuses on soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation to alleviate pain. Our certified therapists use specialized techniques to improve mobility and reduce inflammation. Treatment sessions incorporate patient education about posture correction and movement retraining for lasting results.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists use thin needles to target muscle trigger points causing pain and stiffness. This technique effectively releases tension in soft tissues and improves blood flow. Patients receive guidance about post-treatment care and complementary exercises to maintain pain relief.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized programs help athletes recover from sports-related injuries and surgeries. Our therapists combine strength training with movement pattern correction to restore performance capabilities. Treatment focuses on preventing re-injury while gradually returning patients to competitive activity levels.
Vestibular Rehab
Targeted exercises address dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues from inner ear disorders. Therapists develop customized programs to improve gaze stability and reduce fall risk. Treatment includes home exercise instruction for continued symptom management between sessions.
