Services
Pain Relief Modalities
Our therapists use ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and dry needling to alleviate pain from musculoskeletal injuries, neck/back conditions, and arthritis. These modalities reduce inflammation and promote healing, complementing therapeutic exercises for long-term relief. Patients receive education on self-management techniques to maintain comfort at home.
Therapeutic Exercise
Customized exercise programs improve strength, flexibility, and joint mobility for post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, or chronic conditions. Each patient receives a home exercise plan to sustain progress after therapy, focusing on functional movements that enhance daily living and athletic performance.
Balance Rehabilitation
Specialized exercises address dizziness and imbalance caused by inner ear disorders or neurological conditions. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to improve stability, reduce fall risk, and restore confidence in patients over 70 or recovering from strokes.
Post-Orthopedic Surgery Rehab
We coordinate care with orthopedic surgeons to provide targeted rehabilitation after ACL repairs, joint replacements, or spinal fusions. Treatment includes range-of-motion exercises, gait training, and manual therapy to accelerate healing and help patients regain independence.
Ergonomic Assessments
Certified therapists evaluate workplace ergonomics to prevent injuries in manufacturing, office, and healthcare settings. We develop intervention plans, recommend equipment adjustments, and assist employers with WSI-funded grants to create safer, more efficient work environments.
