Therapeutic exercise program A therapeutic exercise program will be developed to address your specific needs. It may include special exercises that you can do at home, as well as in our clinic. Your exercise program may be controlled resistance or some other form of exercise. "Controlled resistance" therapy (S.T.E.P.) This advanced therapy called S.T.E.P (Scientific Therapeutic Exercise Progression) uses very precise resistance movements to shorten your healing process. It allows for protection of injured tissue and can be used in any phase of your injury. S.T.E.P. also gives you a more complete healing of your injury, which reduces the risk of developing scar tissue or having a re-injury. S.T.E.P. is also valuable for osteoporosis prevention.

Micro-current therapy Micro-current is the application of tiny amounts of electrical current to the injured part of the body, which helps injured tissue to heal faster and can relieve pain.

Our goal is to help your entire body regain its former grace, posture, strength and flexibility. To this end, we provide special programs such as pilates and t'ai chi. Click here for more. At-home programs As your treatment progresses, you may have the option of doing some of your therapy and exercises at home. We provide the equipment and instructions you need to conveniently continue therapy in the comfort of your own home. We also provide a health maintenance program that you can do at home. Health maintenance program When your bones, muscles and connective tissue have recovered most of their function, you should have much reduced pain and strong enough tissue to prevent future injury. At this point, we give you a health maintenance program to make sure that you don't regress. Good health and maintenance of full function is a life-long process.
