Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and mobility limitations through customized exercise programs and manual techniques. Patients receive one-on-one care from licensed therapists focused on restoring function and preventing future injuries. Treatment plans incorporate patient education to promote long-term wellness and self-management.
Vestibular Therapy
Specialized vestibular rehabilitation helps patients with dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders through targeted exercises and retraining techniques. Our certified therapists use evidence-based protocols to improve balance and reduce fall risk. Treatment includes patient-specific home exercise programs for continued progress.
Pediatric Therapy
Comprehensive pediatric therapy services address developmental delays and mobility challenges in children through play-based interventions. Our team includes speech, occupational, and physical therapists working collaboratively with families. Treatment focuses on improving motor skills, communication, and daily living activities in a child-friendly environment.
Dry Needle Therapy
Certified therapists use dry needling to treat muscle pain and dysfunction by targeting trigger points with thin filament needles. This technique effectively reduces chronic muscle tension and improves range of motion. Sessions combine needling with stretching and strengthening exercises for optimal recovery.
Parkinson's Therapy
Specialized programs like LSVT BIG and Rock Steady Boxing improve mobility and quality of life for Parkinson's patients through high-intensity, neuroplasticity-focused exercises. Our therapists modify exercises to individual capabilities while maintaining therapeutic intensity. Treatment includes caregiver education to support home practice.
