Body Blading (IASTM)

Our Body Blading (IASTM) program utilizes Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization techniques performed by specially trained therapists using patented stainless steel instruments. This advanced manual therapy approach effectively identifies and treats soft tissue dysfunctions including scar tissue, fascial restrictions, chronic inflammation, and adhesions that limit mobility and cause pain. The instruments allow practitioners to detect tissue abnormalities and apply precise pressure to stimulate healing responses. The technique promotes collagen synthesis, increases blood flow, and stimulates the inflammatory cascade necessary for tissue remodeling. Treatment typically results in improved range of motion, decreased pain, and enhanced functional performance. Our certified practitioners integrate IASTM with therapeutic exercise and other interventions for comprehensive treatment outcomes. This technique is used by professional athletes and is effective for both acute and chronic conditions.

Kinesio Taping / McConnell Taping

Our certified therapeutic taping program incorporates both Kinesio Taping and McConnell Taping techniques performed by certified practitioners. Kinesio Taping uses elastic therapeutic tape that mimics skin elasticity to provide support while allowing full range of motion. This technique can facilitate or inhibit muscle function, reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and enhance proprioceptive feedback. McConnell Taping utilizes rigid tape to provide mechanical support, correct biomechanical faults, and reduce pain through neural inhibition. Our practitioners assess individual needs to determine appropriate taping methods for conditions including muscle strains, ligament sprains, postural dysfunction, and joint instability. Taping applications support injury recovery, prevent re-injury, and enhance athletic performance. We provide patient education on proper tape care and removal techniques. These evidence-based taping methods complement other therapeutic interventions and can be used throughout various phases of rehabilitation and return to activity. 

Cupping Therapy

Our cupping therapy program utilizes decompressive cupping techniques to provide therapeutic benefits for various musculoskeletal conditions. Cupping creates negative pressure that lifts soft tissues, improving local blood circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting tissue healing. Our trained practitioners use sterile cups and appropriate techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness. Cupping can be combined with massage therapy or used as a standalone treatment. The therapy helps break up adhesions, improve tissue mobility, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Benefits include reduced pain, improved range of motion, decreased muscle tension, and enhanced recovery from training or injury. We customize cupping treatments based on individual conditions and treatment goals, ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes of increased mobility and function in daily activities while maintaining patient comfort and safety.

Shockwave Therapy

Our shockwave therapy program utilizes state-of-the-art Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) equipment to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments. This FDA-approved technology delivers focused acoustic waves that stimulate cellular repair mechanisms, promote neovascularization, and break down calcific deposits. The treatment works by creating controlled microtrauma that stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration. Our certified practitioners customize treatment parameters based on specific conditions and patient tolerance. Most patients experience significant pain reduction and functional improvement after 1 session. This non-invasive alternative to surgery offers excellent outcomes for chronic conditions, with minimal side effects and no downtime. We integrate shockwave therapy with comprehensive rehabilitation programs for optimal results. 

Dry Needling

Our dry needling program offers advanced trigger point therapy performed by certified practitioners trained in this specialized technique. Dry needling involves inserting thin, sterile filiform needles into myofascial trigger points, tight muscle bands, and connective tissues to reduce pain and improve function. This evidence-based treatment differs from acupuncture by focusing specifically on neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions based on Western medicine principles. The technique effectively deactivates trigger points, reduces muscle tension, improves blood flow, and promotes healing responses. Treatment may produce immediate pain relief and improved range of motion, with cumulative benefits over multiple sessions. Our practitioners combine dry needling with therapeutic exercise and manual therapy for comprehensive treatment outcomes. We ensure patient safety through sterile technique, appropriate screening, and ongoing education about this rapidly advancing treatment modality. 

Infrared (Red, Blue, Combo Light) Therapy

Our infrared light therapy program utilizes advanced LED photobiomodulation technology with specific wavelengths of red (660nm), near-infrared (850nm), and blue (415nm) light to promote healing at the cellular level. This non-surgical and evidenced-based intervention reduces inflammation, promotes tissue repair, improves circulation, and accelerates recovery from injuries, wounds, and various musculoskeletal conditions through enhanced cellular metabolism. Patients report accelerated tissue repair, increased volition, and engagement in their meaningful occupations after their first treatment. 

LSVT-BIG

Individuals living with Parkinson disease (PD) are trained to use their body more normally. Small, slow, and abnormal movements are gestures typical associated behaviors seen in PD. We enable normal bodily actions with instruction of big movement protocols. We have proven that carry-over of trained skills by our therapists effectively enhances participation and performance in daily activities. We focus on recalibration of praxis and motor planning to improve balance, mobility, and posture.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a specialized modality involving high-frequency sound waves to soft tissues and joints. As a result, healing is accelerated, pain is quickly reduced, and mobility is recovered. Therapeutic ultrasound is a staple of conservative management for a variety of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and soft tissue conditions.

Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation (E-Stim) refers to the application of electrical currents to the body to elicit therapeutic effects. It is a non-invasive, widely used modality for neuromuscular rehabilitation, pain management, sports medicine, sensory re-education, swelling, and even aesthetics. E-Stim utilizes targeted electrical impulses to stimulate nerves, muscles, or both, enabling clinicians to enhance muscle function, modulate pain, promote healing, and improve patient outcomes.
