Our Services
Athletic Therapy
Athletic Therapists are musculoskeletal experts who offer treatment to a large population base: competitive athletes, recreational players, individuals with work or automobile related injuries, as well as anyone else suffering from a muscle, bone or joint injury. We work with you to remedy your injury, then educate you to prevent injury recurrence in the future.
Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists provide treatment for injured muscle tissue, injury prevention, stress relief, and healthy lifestyle maintenance. Massage Therapy can help treat both acute and chronic injuries, improve sleep, digestion and circulation, effectively target musculoskeletal pain, and boost athletic recovery. There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular treatments from your RMT.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the main forms of traditional Chinese Medicine. This ancient Chinese medical treatment is used to decrease pain, reduce swelling and increase blood circulation in order to enhance the healing process. While acupuncture can be used for a variety of illnesses, it is most commonly used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, muscle inflammation/tenderness, muscle spasms, and headaches.
Personal Training
Personal Trainers work towards helping you achieve your fitness goals. Whether it’s losing weight, building muscle, training for an event, or simply maintaining your health, our trainers are here to provide expert advice and guidance. Our staff have a vast array of knowledge and experience that allow us to provide you with a personal and customized program suited exactly to your needs.
