Physical Therapeutic Therapies & Treatments

Our therapists identify strain patterns that form in the body through overuse in sports, excessive computer use, prolonged sitting, or trauma and accidents.

Our approach is holistic, hands-on and integrates education with instruction.

Most clinics treat pain and injury as weakness as opposed to tightness or a lack of pliability. When muscles get excessively tight they put tendons, joints, and skeletal structures at risk for injury. While strengthening is important, if you don’t have full range of motion you’re creating dysfunction and limiting your full capability.

A wide range of therapeutic practices are employed. This self-managed approach helps patients become more aware of their bodies and assists them in being an active, informed participant in the process of healing.

Therapy treat Pelvic Floor pain

Experience personalized treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction.

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles supporting your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs (your pelvic floor) aren't working correctly. This can lead to a range of uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing symptoms.

Common Symptoms:

Leaking urine when sneezing, coughing, or laughing (incontinence)

Urgency or frequent urination

Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements

Pain in the pelvis, lower back, or groin

Painful intercourse

Hypermobility Pain Treatment

Hypermobility means your joints move beyond the normal range. While flexibility can be an asset, hypermobile joints are often prone to pain, instability, and injuries.

Common Symptoms:

Aching or stiffness in the joints (especially knees, hips, shoulders, ankles)

Frequent joint dislocations or subluxations

Muscle fatigue and weakness

Difficulty with balance and coordination

Chronic pain and stiffness

We'll start by carefully evaluating your joints, muscle strength, and movement patterns to understand your unique hypermobility challenges.
