Lymphedema Therapy
We have therapists certified in the Vodder and Leduc Method of Lymphedema Management.
Our therapists provide various manual maneuvers, such as lymphapress and multilayered bandaging to stimulate the lymph system to reabsorb the protein rich fluid so that your body can eliminate it.

Orthopedic and Sports Therapy
Weather you are a high school, college, professional athlete or a weekend warrior you have probably experienced the sprains and and strains associated with your activity. We can help you speed your recovery to get you "back in the game"
In addition to rehabilitation for injuries, ask your doctor about "pre-hab" for upcoming surgeries to improve motion, strength and reduce swelling, which has shown to improve outcomes after surgery.
