Decreasing your pain by providing manual treatments and therapeutic modalities according to your needs
Improving your joint mobility and tissue flexibility with manual techniques and range of motion exercises
Designing an individualized exercise program to address your impairments
Providing you with therapeutic treatments that may include manual techniques, exercises, and modalities
Communicating with your support network (physician, nurses, etc.) to optimize your care plan
Educating you on active treatment methods and behavior or movement modifications to enable continued self-treatment and prevent relapses
