Services
Orthopedic Therapy
Board-certified orthopedic specialists treat knee, hip, and shoulder pain using manual therapy and corrective exercises. Our evidence-based approach reduces recovery time by 20% compared to standard care, with personalized plans for pre/post-surgical rehabilitation and sports injuries. Therapists combine joint mobilization techniques with functional training to restore mobility and prevent future injuries.
Aquatic Therapy
Warm-water therapy in specialized pools with underwater treadmills helps patients regain mobility with 40% less joint stress. Custom programs for arthritis, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical recovery utilize hydrostatic pressure to improve circulation while resistance training builds strength. Available at six locations with temperature-controlled pools between 85-92F.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Certified therapists address urinary incontinence and pelvic pain through biofeedback and manual therapy. Individualized treatment plans include core strengthening exercises and posture education, with 85% of patients reporting significant improvement after 6-12 weeks. Services available for both men and women with discreet, one-on-one sessions.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists use monofilament needles to treat chronic muscle pain and trigger points, with sessions lasting 15-30 minutes. This technique reduces pain by 50% in 4-6 sessions for 70% of patients, often combined with stretching and manual therapy. Effective for headaches, sciatica, and sports-related muscle tightness.

Specialized treatment for stroke recovery and Parkinson's disease using LSVT BIG and vestibular rehabilitation. Patients experience 30% improvement in balance scores after 8 weeks, with coordinated care from physical, occupational, and speech therapists.
