| Our Therapists |  |
All of our Physical Therapists have extensive post-graduate training in manual therapy. Manual Therapy is a specialty within Physical Therapy; we use our hands in a variety of treatment techniques to help relieve pain, mobilize joints and retrain efficient movement. We provide hands-on care for pain relief and rehabilitation in a one-on-one setting. Therapy techniques include message, mobilizations, muscle re-education, posture retraining, ergonomics, exercise prescription, movement and gait analysis, custom orthotics and modalities. Our therapists strive to help guide our patients to a more functional, pain free and independent life.
