Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy helps patients regain independence through progressive activities and exercises to build fitness and functional capabilities. Occupational therapy may benefit patients who have experienced cancer, orthopedic conditions, neurological conditions and pelvic floor disorders.
Dry needling
Dry needling is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles), tendons, ligaments or around nerves to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions. We offer this specialized therapy to decrease pain and muscle tightness, promote healing and encourage a return to optimal function.

Sports medicine

Specialized lymphedema rehabilitation
Lymphedema is an abnormal build-up of fluid that causes swelling most often in the arms and legs, although it can develop in the trunk or torso. The condition develops when lymph vessels or lymph nodes are missing, impaired or damaged by trauma or radiation, or removed. Our certified therapists provide lymphedema therapy, which is the process of removing the fluid that causes swelling through exercise, compression and/or manual drainage. They also teach patients self-management strategies for their lymphedema.
