Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs address orthopedic injuries, sports conditions, and workplace ailments through customized treatment plans. Using evidence-based techniques like dry needling and IASTM, we focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving functional capacity. Our therapists develop individualized recovery programs that evolve with patient progress, incorporating strength training, joint mobilization, and functional movement patterns.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle tension and trigger points to alleviate pain from conditions like neck pain, migraines, and sciatica. This technique uses thin needles to release tight muscle bands, improve circulation, and promote tissue healing. Our therapists combine dry needling with other manual therapies to enhance recovery outcomes for acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Functional Capacity Evaluation
Our FCE services assess physical capabilities for return-to-work decisions using standardized testing protocols. Certified evaluators measure strength, endurance, and job-specific abilities through computerized assessments and functional tasks. This objective evaluation helps employers and case managers determine work readiness while identifying necessary accommodations.
Job Screens
We offer ADA-compliant job-specific screenings to assess physical readiness for employment. Our WorkSaver-certified evaluations identify baseline capabilities, prevent workplace injuries, and ensure job candidates meet physical demands. Testing includes strength assessments, flexibility measurements, and cardiovascular evaluations tailored to specific job requirements.
IASTM
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) treats soft tissue restrictions using specialized tools to break down scar tissue and improve mobility. This technique enhances healing for chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and sports injuries by stimulating blood flow and collagen production through targeted tissue manipulation.
