Techniques

Each of our physical therapists are dedicated to providing first class manual therapy techniques. They have undergone specialized training in a wide range of advanced hands-on techniques and strength training. These techniques have been proven to significantly reduce pain and enhance mobility, allowing us to make a substantial difference in improving your well-being. Our therapists pride themselves in being fitness forward to promote long term health benefits for patients.

Below is a list of our treatment techniques.

  • Orthopedic Manual Therapy involves hands-on techniques aimed at diagnosing, treating, and preventing a wide range of orthopedic conditions. Through precise manipulation of joints, soft tissues, and muscles, we strive to restore optimal function, alleviate pain, and enhance your overall quality of life.

  • Our therapists employ a range of therapeutic interventions, including targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. By addressing muscle imbalances, improving spinal mobility, and strengthening supporting muscles, we aim to alleviate pain, enhance stability, and prevent future injuries.

  • Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized therapy designed to address dizziness and vertigo, often stemming from inner ear problems or other vestibular system disorders. Our comprehensive approach combines targeted exercises and maneuvers aimed at promoting compensation, adaptation, and habituation to help your brain adjust and reduce these symptoms.

  • Myofascial decompression involves the application of suction cups to the skin, creating negative pressure that gently lifts and separates layers of tissue. This technique aids in releasing tension, breaking up adhesions, and promoting improved blood flow to targeted areas. It's particularly beneficial for addressing muscle tightness, trigger points, and scar tissue adhesions.

  • involves the use of specially designed tools, such as stainless steel instruments, to apply controlled pressure to targeted areas of the body. These instruments help identify and break down scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions, promoting tissue remodeling and increased blood flow to the area resulting in reduced pain and improved range of motion.
