Custom Foot Orthotics
Precision-molded foot orthotics using Amfit 3D digital scanning technology address structural imbalances and biomechanical issues. Our on-site fabrication ensures faster delivery of customized insoles that alleviate foot pain caused by plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches. Designed for athletes and active individuals, these orthotics improve alignment and reduce stress on knees, hips, and lower back during daily activities.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialized rehabilitation programs help athletes recover from sports-related injuries through targeted exercises and manual therapy. We treat common sports injuries like torn ligaments, muscle strains, and joint sprains while implementing prevention strategies. Our therapists combine strength training with functional movement analysis to safely return athletes to competition at peak performance levels.
Telehealth Options
Remote physical therapy sessions provide accessible care through virtual assessments and home exercise instruction. Patients receive personalized treatment plans and progress monitoring without in-person visits. This service benefits those with mobility limitations, busy schedules, or needing post-appointment check-ins to maintain rehabilitation continuity.
Running Gait Analysis
Data-driven running assessments identify biomechanical inefficiencies using advanced motion analysis technology. We evaluate foot strike patterns, stride length, and body mechanics to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Custom recommendations improve form while reducing impact stress for runners at all competitive levels, from casual enthusiasts to collegiate athletes.
Work-Related Rehabilitation
Tailored recovery programs address workplace injuries through functional capacity evaluations and job-specific strengthening exercises. We help workers return to physically demanding roles by simulating job tasks during rehabilitation. Our approach combines ergonomic assessments with gradual return-to-work conditioning to ensure safe reintegration into occupational environments.
