Physical Therapy Services

Sports & Orthopedic Injuries

With comprehensive sports and orthopedic rehabilitation, we can get you back in the game. We will take the time to evaluate your injury and determine the appropriate method of treatment to help you regain your strength and return to regular activities as quickly and safely as possible.

Pre- & Post-Surgery

Whether you are preparing for an operation or in the process of recovering from surgery, physical therapy can be a vital practice in producing a successful outcome. We can assist you in restoring strength and range of motion as well as reducing pain and swelling.

Work Injuries

Have you been injured on the job? Physical therapy can often be the best treatment for occupational injuries. Our dedicated therapists offer on-site ergonomic evaluations and will work closely with you to get you back to work and to full earning capacity.

Women's Health

Our therapists offer specialized services for women’s health. Pelvic floor physical therapy can assist in strengthening the core and function of the entire body. It can address a variety of conditions, including prenatal pain, postpartum pain, urinary incontinence, and lower back and pelvic pain.

Orthotics

Not all feet are created equal. Poor foot function and alignment may be the cause of various pains such as foot, hip, knee, and back pain. Our custom orthotics can be designed to help relieve your pain by realigning and stabilizing the bones in your feet.

Balance & Vestibular Therapy

This type of therapy is used for individuals with balance or vertigo issues.The goal is to relieve and treat inner ear dysfunctions and balance disorders through personalized balance and strength programs.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is used to relieve muscle pain by placing thin, filiform needles in trigger points in tissues and muscle. These points are areas of hard or knotted muscle which cause pain, limit range of motion, or cause other dysfunction. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling needles are not inserted into the skin for long. The needle is meant to help release the knot, restore function and range of motion, and relieve muscle pain you’re experiencing.
