We utilize some or all of the following techniques or interventions in the treatment of our patients.
Therapeutic Exercise
Each physical therapist prescribes dynamic functional exercises to meet the individual needs of each patient. Exercises are clearly explained and applicable to each patient’s injury and/or condition.
