Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs address musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain management. Using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and advanced equipment, we create customized treatment plans to restore mobility and function. Patients benefit from direct-access care that streamlines treatment initiation without physician referrals.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic tools and customized exercise programs. Our AIB-certified therapists address inner ear dysfunction and neurological balance issues through targeted interventions that improve stability and reduce fall risk for long-term recovery.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Comprehensive care for Parkinson's disease, stroke survivors, and multiple sclerosis patients combines LSVT BIG techniques with Rock Steady Boxing methodology. Our NCS-certified specialists develop individualized programs that improve motor function, coordination, and quality of life through evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
Lymphedema Care
Certified therapists provide complete decongestive therapy for lymphatic system disorders, including manual lymph drainage, compression bandaging, and skin care education. This specialized treatment reduces swelling and prevents complications for patients experiencing lymphedema following cancer treatments or other medical conditions.
Post-Concussion Care
Our concussion specialists use ImPACT-certified assessment tools and progressive exercise protocols to manage post-concussion syndrome. Treatment addresses symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and cognitive difficulties through gradual reintroduction of physical and cognitive activities under professional supervision.
