SPECIALTY SERVICES
MANUAL THERAPY
Advanced hands on techniques are implemented by our therapist for gentle and direct results. Treatments included soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, connective tissue mobilization, joint mobilizations, visceral mobilization, pregnancy massage and scar massage.
PAIN NEUROSCIENCE EDUCATION (PNE)
Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) helps explain that the pain is not always due to local tissue damage but rather a hypersensitive nervous system. With educational sessions of the neurobiology of pain, graded exposure to movements, specific goal setting and mindfulness training, you will understand the role of the central nervous system as a contributor to your pain cycle and how to improve your pain. Our therapists incorporate the most current research on pain science into your treatment program to break the pain cycle and meet your goals.
BIOFEEDBACK
All of our therapists incorporate biofeedback into treatment for those who require additional tools to better control their pelvic muscles. External or internal vaginal/ rectal sensors may be used to help you relax muscles to resume sex or bathroom function, or contract them to be active without leakage.
RETURN TO SPORT/FITNESS
Whether you sustained an injury, are recovering from childbirth, or you just want to up your game, returning to fitness can be overwhelming. We create a customized, graded exercise program to target the muscle groups that will help you reach your fitness goals.
