Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves hands-on joint and soft tissue mobilization techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility. Our licensed therapists use myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and joint manipulation to address musculoskeletal issues. This approach helps restore normal tissue function and promotes natural healing processes in the body.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to create deep heating effects in muscles and joints. This treatment reduces pain, decreases stiffness, and improves flexibility by increasing blood flow to injured tissues. It's particularly effective for treating tendonitis, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.
HydroMassage Bed
The HydroMassage Bed delivers full-body massage using pressurized water while keeping patients dry. This therapy helps relax muscles, improve circulation, and reduce chronic joint pain through targeted water pressure. It's an excellent option for pre-treatment warm-up or post-exercise recovery.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation uses controlled electrical currents to manage pain and improve muscle function. TENS units block pain signals, while NMES devices stimulate muscle contractions to prevent atrophy. This modality also includes iontophoresis for targeted medication delivery through the skin.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping applies specialized elastic tape to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. This technique reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and helps retrain the neuromuscular system. The tape's elasticity provides continuous therapeutic benefits between treatment sessions.
