Services
Joint Replacement Therapy
Our joint replacement therapy program helps patients recover mobility and strength after hip or knee replacement surgery. Through customized exercise regimens and manual therapy techniques, we focus on restoring functional movement patterns and reducing post-operative discomfort. Patients receive comprehensive guidance on proper joint protection strategies and activity modifications to ensure long-term success.
Manual Trigger Point Therapy
This hands-on treatment targets specific muscle knots and tension points to alleviate chronic pain conditions. Our therapists use precise pressure techniques to release tight muscle fibers and improve blood circulation. Patients benefit from reduced pain levels and increased range of motion through this evidence-based approach to musculoskeletal pain management.
Vestibular Rehab
Our vestibular rehabilitation program addresses dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders through specialized exercise protocols. Therapists implement customized gaze stabilization drills and balance retraining activities to improve spatial orientation and prevent falls. This therapy helps patients regain confidence in daily activities affected by inner ear dysfunction.
Neck and Back Pain Therapy
We specialize in comprehensive treatment for cervical and lumbar spine conditions using a multi-modal approach. Therapists combine posture correction, core stabilization exercises, and ergonomic education to address both acute injuries and chronic pain patterns. Treatment plans focus on restoring spinal mobility while teaching patients self-management techniques for long-term pain relief.
Gait Training
Our gait analysis and training program helps patients improve walking patterns and stability. Using video assessment and treadmill training, therapists identify biomechanical inefficiencies and develop targeted interventions. Patients learn proper weight distribution techniques and receive assistive device training to enhance mobility and prevent falls.
