flexibility Exercises
Flexibility is essential for maintaining a full range of motion and preventing injuries. Our therapists design flexibility exercises to improve muscle elasticity and joint mobility, reducing stiffness and enhancing your overall physical function. These exercises are tailored to your individual needs and can help alleviate pain and improve performance.
Gait Training
Gait training focuses on improving your walking pattern, helping you to walk more efficiently and with less pain. Whether you are recovering from an injury, surgery, or a neurological condition, our therapists will develop a personalized gait training program to enhance your balance, coordination, and overall mobility.
Strength Conditioning
Building strength is crucial for injury prevention and overall health. Our strength conditioning programs are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and stability. Using a combination of resistance exercises and functional movements, our therapists will help you achieve your strength goals, whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to enhance your athletic performance.
Functional Training
Functional training focuses on improving your ability to perform everyday activities with ease and without pain. Our therapists use functional exercises that mimic real-life movements, helping you to improve your strength, flexibility, and coordination. This type of training is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries or surgery, as well as those looking to enhance their overall physical function.
Back and Neck School
Our Back and Neck School programs are designed to educate patients about proper body mechanics, posture, and exercises to reduce pain and prevent future injuries. These programs include a combination of education, exercises, and practical tips to help you manage and prevent back and neck pain effectively.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps to repair tissues. Our therapists use ultrasound therapy as part of a comprehensive exercise and training program to support your recovery and enhance your overall physical health.
Open/Closed Chain Activities
Open and closed chain activities are exercises that target different muscle groups and movement patterns. Open chain exercises involve movements where the hand or foot is free to move, while closed chain exercises involve movements where the hand or foot is fixed in place. Our therapists use a combination of these exercises to improve strength, stability, and coordination, helping you to achieve a balanced and functional physical condition.
Sports Conditioning
Sports conditioning programs are designed to improve athletic performance and prevent injuries. Our therapists work with athletes of all levels to develop personalized conditioning programs that enhance strength, endurance, flexibility, and agility. Whether you’re preparing for a specific sport or looking to improve your overall athletic performance, our sports conditioning programs will help you achieve your goals.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, improving muscle strength and promoting healing. EMS is beneficial for muscle re-education, preventing muscle atrophy, and enhancing recovery from injuries. Our therapists incorporate EMS into exercise and training programs to support your rehabilitation and fitness goals.
