Wellness and Recovery Services
With our wellness and recovery services, we are able to enhance your wellness and recovery with various services that are not part of your physical therapy treatment plan. This generally allows you to recover from and return to activities with less pain and soreness.
“Their motivational approach helps all of us feel we can do the hard stuff – encouragement + humor makes exercise fun, not clinical.”

Compression Therapy:
The Normatec Recovery System provides dynamic compression using their patented pulse technology to help enhance blood flow and aid in recovery. This system uses compressed air to massage limbs, mobilize fluid, and ultimately speed up the recovery process.
Cupping Therapy:
Cupping therapy is a soft tissue mobilization technique that uses glass or plastic cups placed over the skin to create negative pressure through suction. It directs circulation of blood to specific areas of the body to increase oxygenation, decrease blood stasis and promote healing. In addition to using it to treat pain and inflammation, it’s also used as a technique to help promote blood flow, relaxation, and overall well-being.
Graston Technique:
The Graston Technique® is an instrument assisted soft-tissue technique that is used to reduce scar tissue and muscle adhesions that are often found throughout the body. By introducing small amounts of micro-trauma, the Graston Technique stimulates a local inflammatory response which leads to remodeling and repair of the affected soft tissues, and encourages the healing process.
Kinesio Taping:
Our therapists are trained in kinesiology taping methods which can be used to support muscles and joints and help reduce pain. It’s a great treatment for patients with musculoskeletal injuries, sprains, strains, and swelling. The tape can be left on for several days and can be worn during normal activities including exercising and showering.
Passive Stretching:
Passive stretching consists of therapist applied hands-on techniques to muscles. The benefits of passive stretching are muscle performance and improved flexibility and range of motion. It can be used for pain management, injury recovery and prevention. Passive stretching helps reduce muscle tension and improve circulation.
Percussion Therapy:
Percussion Therapy involves using a handheld device to target specific areas using high frequency vibrations. The various speeds and intensity of the pulses decrease muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions, increase blood flow and improve circulation, and decrease stiffness.
