Services
ACL Rehabilitation
Specialized ACL rehabilitation program using criteria-based progression and advanced testing. Our athlete-centered approach combines manual therapy, strength training, and return-to-sport testing to ensure safe recovery. We utilize force plate analysis and dynamometry to measure readiness for physical activity.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave therapy for chronic tendon and muscle pain. This evidence-based treatment stimulates healing through neovascularization and collagen production. Effective for plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff injuries, and tennis elbow with measurable improvements in pain reduction and function.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
BFR training enables muscle growth with low-load exercises. This FDA-approved technique uses controlled blood flow restriction to stimulate protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy. Ideal for post-surgical recovery and tendon injury rehabilitation without joint stress.
Concussion Rehabilitation
Multimodal concussion treatment addressing vestibular, ocular, and cervical systems. Our program includes gaze stability exercises, manual therapy for neck injuries, and graded exertion protocols. Specialized approach for dizziness, headaches, and post-concussion syndrome recovery.
Climbing Injury Treatment
Expert care for climbing-related injuries including finger pulley strains and shoulder impingement. Treatment combines antagonist muscle training, grip strength exercises, and movement pattern analysis. Program developed in collaboration with local climbing gyms and teams.
