Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on musculoskeletal injuries and conditions through personalized treatment plans. Specialized care includes post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, chronic pain management, and functional restoration. Each session provides one-on-one attention from licensed therapists with advanced certifications in orthopedics and manual therapy.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes buoyancy to reduce joint stress while improving mobility and strength. Our programs at YMCA locations help patients with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and neurological conditions through controlled water-based exercises. The supportive environment enables earlier rehabilitation with reduced discomfort.
Cancer Rehabilitation
Specialized cancer rehabilitation addresses treatment side effects including lymphedema, neuropathy, and mobility limitations. Our therapists create individualized plans to improve strength, reduce fatigue, and restore function during or after cancer treatment. Services include scar management and energy conservation techniques.
Concussion Treatment
Comprehensive concussion management includes baseline testing and post-injury rehabilitation. Our therapists address dizziness, headaches, and cognitive issues through vestibular therapy, vision exercises, and graduated return-to-activity protocols. Treatment follows evidence-based guidelines for safe recovery.
Hand Therapy
Specialized hand therapy treats injuries and conditions affecting the hands, wrists, and elbows. Services include custom splinting, scar management, and functional restoration after trauma or surgery. Certified hand therapists work closely with physicians to optimize recovery outcomes.
