Functional
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.
Cardiovascular Rehabilitation
Cardiovascular Rehabilitation also called cardiac rehab, is a medically supervised program for people who have had a heart attack, heart failure, heart valve surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention.

Vestibular (Inner ear) Rehabilitation
Vestibular (Inner ear) Rehabilitation is an exercise-based program, designed by a specialized physical therapist, to improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness. The inner ear, the brain’s “balance center”
Therapeutic
Modalities
Modalities is a type of electrical, thermal or mechanical energy that causes physiological changes. It is used to relieve pain, improve circulation, decrease swelling, reduce muscle spasm, and deliver medication in conjunction with other procedures.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation is a program of re-establishing joint motion, muscle strength around the joint and finally joint function.
Chronic Pain Management
Chronic Pain Management is often defined as any pain lasting more than 6 months. Whereas acute pain is a normal sensation that alerts us to possible injury, chronic pain is very different.
Balance and Fall Prevention
Balance and Fall Prevention is a variety of actions to help reduce the number of accidental falls suffered by older people. Falls and fall related injuries are among the most serious and common medical problems experienced by older adults.
Gua
Sha
Gua Sha meaning “scraping sha-bruises”, is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising. Practitioners believe gua sha releases unhealthy elements from injured areas and stimulates blood flow and healing.
Traction
Therapy
Traction is a common nonsurgical treatment for a herniated disc in the neck or back that relieves pain by opening the cervical foramen to reduce pressure on compressed nerve roots exiting the spinal canal.
MANUALTHERAPY
Joint
Mobilization
Joint Mobilization is a manual therapy intervention, a type of passive movement of a skeletal joint. It is usually aimed at a ‘target’ synovial joint with the aim of achieving a therapeutic effect. When applied to the spine, it is known as spinal mobilization.
Cupping
Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Passive Range of Motion
Passive Range of Motion is where the therapist moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
Soft Tissue
Massage
Myofascial
Release
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation is a set of stretching techniques commonly used in clinical environments to enhance both active and passive range of motion in order to improve motor performance and aid rehabilitation.
Soft Tissue Massage involves direct physical action on the muscle and other soft tissues of your body. Soft tissue techniques such massage targets your muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other connective tissue such as fascia. Massage is the best-known example of a soft tissue technique.
Myofascial Release is a manipulative treatment that attempts to release tension in the fascia due to trauma, posture, or inflammation. Connective tissues called fascia surround the muscles, bones, nerves, and organs of the body.
Neuro-developmental Therapy
Neuro-developmental Therapy is a holistic and interdisciplinary clinical practice model informed by current and evolving research that emphasizes individualized therapeutic handling based on movement analysis for habilitation and rehabilitation of individuals with neurological pathophysiology.
Hyper
Volt
Hyper Volt percussion cordless massager is used to break down fascial adhesions, reduce muscle spasms, joint stiffness, and muscle tightness.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a therapeutic technique that uses specific applied instruments to promote mobilization of restricted tissue. Restricted or adhered myofascial tissue and/or scar tissue are the primary tissues addressed with its application.
TENS
Therapy
TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit is a device that sends small electrical currents to targeted body parts. These currents are used to relieve pain.
Electric Stimulation or Electromyostimulation
Electric Stimulation or Electromyostimulation is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. The impulses mimic the action potential coming from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract.
Therapeutic
Ultrasound
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a treatment modality commonly used in physical therapy. It is used to provide deep heating to soft tissues in the body. These include muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments.
Paraffin
Wax
Paraffin Wax has been shown to treat conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia among others. A wax treatment acts as a type of thermotherapy, or heat therapy, that helps treat these conditions by increasing blood flow, relaxing muscles and reducing stiffness in joints.
Cryotherapy is the use of extremely low temperatures to treat symptoms such as tissue damage (it’s excellent for athletes), decrease inflammation, increase cell rejuvenation, improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging.
Heat Therapy is the use of moist heat to penetrate soft tissue, stimulate blood flow and warms the body’s tissues to increase comfort of therapeutic activities and aid in the healing process.
Kinesis/
McConnell Taping
Kinesis/ McConnell Taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. Kinesis Taping is a technique based on the body’s own natural healing process.
