Services
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Our orthopedic rehabilitation focuses on treating injuries and conditions affecting muscles, bones, and joints. We address issues like hip bursitis, knee osteoarthritis, and post-fracture recovery through customized exercise programs. Using manual therapy and advanced modalities, we restore mobility and reduce pain for long-term functional improvement.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Specialized recovery programs help patients regain strength and mobility after surgeries like hip replacements or femur repairs. Our therapists employ evidence-based techniques to accelerate healing while minimizing discomfort. Patients progress from mobility aids to independent movement through structured, goal-oriented therapy sessions.
LSVT BIG Program
This intensive program addresses movement disorders associated with Parkinson's disease. Certified therapists use high-effort exercises to improve motor control, balance, and daily functioning. The protocol focuses on recalibrating patients' perception of movement amplitude for better real-world performance.
Lymphedema Management
Certified LANA therapists provide comprehensive care for lymphatic system disorders. Techniques include manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and exercise regimens to reduce fluid buildup. We address post-cancer treatment swelling and other chronic lymphatic conditions with individualized management plans.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Targeted interventions address dizziness, vertigo, and balance deficits caused by inner ear disorders. Customized exercises improve gaze stability, posture, and fall prevention. Patients experience enhanced spatial orientation and reduced symptoms through progressive, evidence-based treatment protocols.
