The doctors told me I had herniated disc in my neck. Now after just a short period of time in therapy I don t have any pain in my arm and I can turn my head all the way!!!! - Kathy C. Eliminated pain by using proper technique! I used to dread yard work because my back would start to ache and get sore.

TDN is a treatment for muscular tightness and spasms which commonly follows injury and often accompanies a chronically painful condition or dysfunction. Runners Program Whether you run for good health, to relieve stress or for any other reason, you are likely to suffer from an orthopedic injury of some sort. These injuries are related to the wear and tear that is placed on your joints and the soft tissue around them including the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Physical Therapy can not only help you recover from these injuries but can help significantly in preventing them as well. Dance / Performing Arts Therapy The unique needs of a dancer are often not well understood by health care providers who do not have prior experience and knowledge of the demands a dancer places on their body. A Performing Arts Physical Therapist is an expert in being able to identify movement impairments specific to dance techniques. Without correction, these impairments may eventually lead to injury or problems with performance not to mention constant pain. Massage Therapy Whether you are recovering from an accident, sports injury, surgery, or just need to unwind, massage is a great compliment to enhance your recovery goals. Therapeutic Massage has many benefits. Deep Tissue treatments help to break up scar tissue, realign muscle fibers, reduce edema, as well as release adhesions and myofascial constriction. Massage can also increase circulation and lymph flow, helping you to clear harmful toxins and help you feel better sooner.
