Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address orthopedic injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and mobility challenges through customized treatment plans. Certified therapists use evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities to reduce pain and restore function. Each session combines hands-on care with patient education to ensure long-term recovery and prevention of future injuries.
Hand Therapy
Certified hand therapists treat complex upper extremity conditions including nerve injuries, postoperative recovery, and repetitive strain disorders. Treatment includes custom splinting, scar management, and functional retraining to restore hand and arm mobility. Our therapists have specialized expertise in treating both traumatic injuries and chronic conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
Mobile Therapy
Mobile therapy brings expert care directly to patients unable to visit our clinics. Therapists provide in-home rehabilitation for post-surgical recovery, geriatric care, and mobility limitations. Services include customized exercise programs and environmental assessments to improve functional independence in the patient's natural living space.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes water's buoyancy to reduce joint stress during rehabilitation. This approach benefits patients with arthritis, post-injury recovery, and balance issues through low-impact exercises. The controlled environment allows earlier mobilization and improved strength development compared to traditional land-based therapy.
Ergonomics Assessment
Our ergonomics specialists evaluate workplace environments to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and improve employee well-being. Assessments identify risk factors for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain. Customized solutions include workstation modifications, posture training, and injury prevention programs for office and industrial settings.
