Advanced Therapy

Our Advanced Therapy team provides specialized rehabilitation services to help patients live a better quality of life. With 122 years of combined experience and notable advanced certifications, our therapists are dedicated to providing the highest-quality care and service.


Our team works one-on-one with each patient to evaluate their condition and create an effective care plan. Individualized treatment backed by advanced certifications set us apart.

Some of the services we provide:

  • Physical therapy focuses on restoring physical function and mobility through targeted exercises and techniques. Our team of physical therapists uses various approaches, including manual therapy, Gratson Technique®, myofascial cupping, therapeutic activities, and functional training, to help patients regain strength and mobility.
  • Adult and pediatric speech therapy is essential for patients who have difficulty communicating or swallowing due to a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other conditions. Our speech-language pathologists work with patients of all ages to improve their speech, language, and swallowing abilities through a structured and personalized treatment plan.
  • Dry-needling therapy is a specialized technique that can effectively treat musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic pain, muscle tension, and sports injuries. Our certified dry-needling therapists use thin needles to target trigger points and release muscle tension, promoting pain relief and improving the range of motion.
  • Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized treatment for pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain. Our pelvic floor therapist uses noninvasive techniques to strengthen and relax the pelvic floor muscles and alleviate symptoms in a comfortable and discreet environment.
