Our expert physical therapists have years of specialized training to provide gentle, specific, hands-on therapies to help you feel better. These include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and neuromuscular techniques.
THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE
Part of the recovery process may require an increasing range of motion of joints and strengthening of weakened muscles of your injured or painful areas. This provides better support to the joints and prevents pain from recurring. Our experts have years of training in the use of gentle therapeutic exercises.

Dry Needling (DN) is a treatment technique that utilizes thin, solid filament needles designed to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying neural, muscular and connective tissues. DN evokes a healing response in painful neuromusculoskeletal conditions and improves movement impairments.
