Personal Injury
Unplanned injuries can disrupt our lives. We offer cutting edge rehabilitation and pain management techniques to reduce the negative consequences of an injury.
Selective Functional Movement Screening
The body is a miraculous machine that relies on itself for stability, coordination, balance, and control. A small inefficiency in one area can disrupt other areas and lead to pain, loss of performance, and injury. Specialized training to identify the root cause will result in a return of function and increase in performance.
Class IV Laser
Dry Needling
Through the use of a very thin, solid filament needle, we can address dysfunctional muscle tissue by targeting trigger points and returning balance and flexibility to your movement. This technique requires considerable training and can produce amazing results in as little as 2-4 sessions.
