Dry Needling
Dry needling is an advanced technique used to address muscle tension, pain, and movement restrictions. When appropriate, it may be incorporated to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support neuromuscular function.

Women’s Health & Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Specialized care for women’s health and pelvic floor conditions, including pre- and post-partum care, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, core and pelvic floor strengthening, and return-to-activity guidance.
Blood Flow Restriction Therapy
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is a rehabilitation technique using specialized pneumatic cuffs on limbs to safely restrict venous outflow while maintaining arterial inflow during low-intensity exercise.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilizations (IASTM)
Instrument Asssited Soft Tissue Mobilizations is a therapeutic technique used by professionals to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunction, such as adhesions, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation, using specialized metal or plastic instruments. It is designed to increase blood flow, reduce pain, and improve range of motion by breaking down scar tissue and releasing fascia.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a technique used in physical therapy where specialized cups create gentle suction on the skin. This suction increases blood flow, helps release muscle tension, and supports the body’s natural healing process. It can be effective for back and neck pain, muscle tightness, and improving range of motion, and often functions as a form of deep tissue release. Cupping is safe, non‑invasive, and drug‑free, though it may leave temporary, painless marks that typically fade within a few days.
