Services
Manual Therapy
Our manual therapy techniques involve skilled hand movements to manipulate joints and soft tissues. This specialized approach helps reduce pain, increase range of motion, and restore normal joint function through targeted mobilization and soft tissue work. Patients benefit from improved mobility and accelerated recovery times when combined with exercise programs.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
This specialized physical therapy addresses balance disorders and vertigo through customized exercise programs. Our certified therapists use evidence-based techniques to improve gaze stability, enhance postural control, and reduce dizziness symptoms. Treatment includes personalized home exercise programs and progressive balance training tailored to individual patient needs.
Sports Performance
Our sports performance program combines biomechanical analysis with sport-specific training. Using video analysis and physiological assessments, we identify movement inefficiencies and develop targeted programs to enhance athletic performance while reducing injury risk through improved mechanics and conditioning.
Dry Needling
This technique involves inserting thin needles into muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. Our certified practitioners use dry needling to release tight muscle bands, increase blood flow, and promote healing, often providing immediate relief for chronic pain conditions and sports-related injuries.
Golf Rehabilitation
Our golf-specific program integrates swing analysis with physical therapy to optimize performance and prevent injuries. Using indoor driving bays and video analysis, we assess swing mechanics and develop customized programs to improve power, efficiency, and injury resilience for golfers of all skill levels.
