Active Rehabilitation (Exercise prescription and Strength and Conditioning)

  • Strength and exercise are an integral part of recovering from an injury and for participation in daily activities. Our therapists will create individualized exercise and strength programs to restore or enhance movement and performance.

Acupuncture and Dry Needling

  • Both Acupuncture and Dry Needling are safe practices that involve inserting sterile, very thin needles through the skin to promote natural healing
  • Acupuncture has been around for more than 2000 years and is one of the most commonly used medical practices around the world. It can help reduce pain and inflammation and promote improved functioning of the body.
  • During Dry Needling the needle is inserted directly into a muscle creating a twitch which effectively reduces muscle tension and can help to improve range of motion and reduce pain.
