Services
Balance/Fall Prevention
Our physical therapists assess balance issues caused by weakness, joint stiffness, or inner ear problems. We develop individualized programs to strengthen and stabilize patients, reducing fall risks. This service addresses conditions like arthritis, stroke, and Parkinson's disease while incorporating CDC-recommended safety protocols.
Dry Needling
This science-based treatment targets musculoskeletal pain through needle insertion at trigger points. We use sterile needles to relieve tension in conditions affecting shoulders, back, neck, and joints. The therapy increases blood circulation while decreasing muscle tightness through evidence-based protocols validated by clinical research.

Certified therapists provide complete decongestive therapy for lymphatic system disorders. Our approach combines manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and specialized exercises. We educate patients on skin care and long-term management techniques for both primary and secondary lymphedema conditions.
Concussion Rehabilitation
We offer specialized recovery programs for traumatic brain injuries from sports, falls, or accidents. Treatment includes balance training, gaze stabilization, and manual neck therapy. Our protocols address persistent symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties through structured rehabilitation programs.
Orthopedic Therapy
We treat sports injuries, fractures, and joint conditions using current evidence-based methods. Our therapists create individualized plans for pre/post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management.
