We will be there to help you recover and offer our support throughout the entire process.
We Improve The Way You Move
We help you continue to work, be active, play sports, to continue to live at home or decrease your chance of falling. To achieve that, we may need to use one of our many techniques to decrease your pain, strengthen muscle groups, cue you to move differently, help you change lifestyle habits, and perform hands-on techniques so that you can move more quickly. Our staff has specialty certifications in dry needling, blood flow restriction training, manual therapy, and ergonomics as well as Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopedic and Geriatric Physical Therapy by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties.
Our team possesses years of combined experience in rehabilitation which helps us apply the best up-to-date treatments, techniques and modalities to each patient. We work very closely with medical, nursing and other healthcare-related staff to provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art service to our patients and residents. Receiving physical or occupational therapy treatment is rarely a passive activity. Participating in one’s recovery can be empowering. Come see how we can help you live an active and fulfilling life.
