State-of-the-Art rehab equipment that NO ONE else has:

SoloStep

A roof mounted track that can support a patient that weighs up to 500 pounds. Patient wears a harness and is connected to a lanyard that is attached to the track. This allows the patient to work on balance exercises, learn how to walk after surgery, or transition from walker to cane to no assistive device: with the fear of falling eliminated. It is impossible to fall while using this system!

BIODEX Sit 2 Stand

This system designed by Biodex Rehab provides assistance to patients that have a hard time standing up from a chair. The therapist dials in how many pounds of assistance to give to allow the patient to start training. Each week the patient is progressed by giving less assistance until they are able to stand on their own.

LiteForce EX Deep Tissue Laser

This laser not only helps relieve pain, but actually helps attract the cells that are responsible for healing soft tissues to the area that has been exposed to laser. Neck, back, knees, ankles, plantar fascia, tennis elbow all benefit from laser therapy. Your Physical Therapist & Owner“My Doctor tried to send me to another therapy place; I wouldn’t go.
