Services
Manual Therapy
Our manual therapy sessions focus on joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and neuromobilization techniques. This hands-on approach addresses musculoskeletal restrictions through evidence-based methods like McKenzie and Maitland techniques. Patients receive 50-minute sessions focused on restoring mobility and reducing pain through skilled palpation and targeted interventions.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialized programs combine manual therapy with sport-specific training to address acute injuries and prevent future damage. Our approach includes plyometric training for ACL injury prevention and biomechanical analysis to optimize athletic performance. Treatment plans integrate therapeutic exercise with functional movement retraining for complete recovery.
EDS/Hypermobility Management
Comprehensive care for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders focuses on pain management and functional improvement. Our approach combines joint stabilization techniques with neuromuscular retraining to address chronic pain patterns while working collaboratively with patients' existing healthcare teams.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Individualized recovery programs emphasize scar tissue management and functional restoration after surgical procedures. We work closely with plastic surgeons to prevent capsular contracture following breast augmentation or reconstruction, using specialized manual techniques and progressive exercise protocols.
Neuromuscular Retraining
This specialized treatment addresses nerve-related pain through neuromobilization techniques that reduce inflammation and break up adhesions. Sessions focus on restoring proper nerve gliding mechanics to alleviate symptoms like numbness, tingling, and radiating pain while improving overall neuromuscular function.
