Treatments
A focused 30-minute physical therapy session designed to assess, treat, and progress your recovery needs. The appointment begins with movement and pain evaluation to identify impairments and functional goals. Treatment combines hands-on techniques — soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and therapeutic exercise — with tailored neuromuscular re-education and movement coaching. Sessions emphasize pain management, improved mobility, strength restoration, and safe return to daily activities or sport. You’ll leave with clear home exercise instructions and practical strategies to manage symptoms between visits, ensuring measurable progress and greater independence. Appropriate for post-injury care, chronic pain management, post-operative rehab, and performance optimization.
A 1-hour physical therapy session focused on individualized assessment and hands-on treatment to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve function. Your therapist begins with a targeted evaluation of posture, joint mobility, strength, and movement patterns, then designs a tailored treatment plan that may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, soft-tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and neuromuscular re-education. Sessions emphasize practical strategies for pain management, safe progression of activity, and home exercises to reinforce gains. Suitable for acute injuries, post-surgical rehab, chronic conditions, and performance optimization — progress is measured each visit and adjusted to meet your goals.
A one-hour dry needling treatment is a focused, evidence-informed session that targets myofascial trigger points to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and promote tissue healing; during the appointment a trained clinician conducts a brief assessment, then inserts fine, sterile needles into specific muscle fibers and surrounding fascia—sometimes eliciting a local twitch response—which can produce immediate reduction in tension and pain, while the remainder of the hour may include additional needle work, manual therapy, guided movement, and post-treatment advice on hydration, gentle stretches, and activity modification to support recovery and maximize results.
A 1/2 hour deep tissue massage delivers focused, concentrated work on tight muscles and connective tissue, ideal for addressing acute tension or targeting specific problem areas like the neck, shoulders, lower back, or hips. In a compact session, the therapist uses slower, firmer strokes and calibrated pressure to break down adhesions, release knots, and improve circulation, while monitoring your comfort and adjusting techniques to avoid undue pain. This shorter treatment is especially useful as a maintenance option between longer sessions, for busy schedules, or as a targeted follow-up after injuries or intense physical activity; clients should arrive hydrated and communicate any sensitivities so the therapist can maximize benefit within the limited time.
A one-hour deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue to relieve chronic pain, reduce tension, and improve mobility; the therapist uses slow, focused pressure and targeted strokes to break up adhesions and scar tissue, often concentrating on problem areas like the neck, shoulders, back, and hips while also incorporating stretches and joint mobilization as needed, and clients typically experience reduced muscle stiffness and increased range of motion afterward, though some soreness for a day or two can occur as the tissues adapt and toxins are flushed from the treated areas.
Cranio-sacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that assesses and supports the subtle rhythmic movement of the craniosacral system—comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord—to encourage the body’s natural self-healing processes; during a session the practitioner uses light touch to detect restrictions, release tension in the skull, spine, and sacrum, improve mobility of the cranial bones and connective tissues, and promote improved nervous system regulation, pain relief, reduced stress, and enhanced overall wellbeing, often benefiting clients with headaches, neck and back pain, trauma-related symptoms, and chronic tension.
Spinal and pelvic treatment focuses on restoring alignment, mobility, and function to the spine, sacroiliac joints, and surrounding pelvic structures through a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, and postural re-education; practitioners assess movement patterns and joint mechanics to relieve pain, reduce nerve irritation, improve core stability, and support balanced load transfer between the trunk and lower limbs, while individualized rehabilitation plans often include soft tissue work, joint mobilization or gentle manipulation, pelvic floor strengthening, and ergonomic or movement adjustments to prevent recurrence and promote long-term resilience.
Peripheral joint treatment focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions that affect joints outside the spine—such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles—using a combination of targeted manual therapy, exercise prescription, pain-relief modalities, and patient education to restore mobility and function. Assessment identifies contributing factors like joint alignment, soft-tissue restriction, muscle imbalance, inflammatory processes, or biomechanical overload, which guides an individualized plan that may include joint mobilizations/manipulations, progressive strengthening, range-of-motion and proprioceptive exercises, activity modification, and adjunctive therapies (ice/heat, ultrasound, or dry needling) to reduce pain and inflammation. Treatment also emphasizes self-management strategies—home exercise programs, ergonomic adjustments, gradual return-to-activity protocols, and injury-prevention techniques—to maintain improvements and minimize recurrence, with regular reassessment to adapt the plan as healing progresses.
Manual therapy and osteopathic techniques for headache treatment focus on identifying and releasing patterns of tension that originate both near and far from the head, restoring fluid motion and reducing nociceptive input. Gentle soft-tissue work, myofascial release, and specific joint mobilizations target tight cervical muscles, suboccipital restrictions, and thoracic dysfunctions while also addressing contributory areas such as the jaw, upper back, and even pelvic or diaphragmatic tensions that can influence posture and neural tension. Practitioners use sustained holds, directional releases, and subtle cranial techniques to decompress cervical nerve roots, normalize vascular and lymphatic flow, and rebalance cranio-cervical mechanics, which often reduces headache frequency and intensity. By combining local releases with techniques that treat the body as an integrated system, osteopathic manual therapy aims to break pain cycles, improve range of motion, and support long-term self-management through posture education and targeted home exercises.
