Services
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on techniques optimize soft tissue repair and joint mobility. Our therapists use targeted mobilizations to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery for orthopedic conditions. This evidence-based approach addresses musculoskeletal dysfunction through direct physical intervention.
Graston Technique
Specialized stainless steel instruments identify and treat soft tissue restrictions. This patented method enhances healing by breaking down scar tissue and fascial adhesions while stimulating blood flow. Patients benefit from accelerated recovery for chronic or acute injuries through combined manual and instrument-assisted treatment.
Running Analysis
3D motion analysis identifies biomechanical inefficiencies in runners. Certified analysts evaluate stride patterns to prevent injuries and improve performance. Customized training programs address specific gait abnormalities for road runners, trail runners, and field sport athletes.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized programs restore function after sports-related injuries. Therapists with NCAA and professional team experience design sport-specific protocols for conditions like ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and concussion recovery. Return-to-play testing ensures safe reintegration to athletic activities.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists insert fine needles to deactivate trigger points causing musculoskeletal pain. This technique releases tight muscle bands, improves circulation, and promotes healing for conditions like tendonitis, headaches, and postural imbalances. Combined with exercise therapy for lasting results.
