Surgical Rehabilitation
Assessment and treatment before and after surgery are important for managing the following criteria:

Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy focuses on restoring muscles to optimal length, strength, and balance.
Whether the cause of the pain is primarily muscular or a secondary reaction to trauma, muscles will react to protect and guard the affected area. By reducing muscle pain, we allow the body to relax and recuperate.
