Specialized, compassionate pelvic health care
Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses conditions affecting bladder, bowel, core, and pelvic health. Care is provided in a supportive, respectful environment and tailored to each individual’s comfort, goals, and stage of life.
-
Our team includes the only Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) in Chaffee County!
We provide specialized rehabilitation for concussions, mild brain injuries, and headaches. Treatment addresses symptoms such as chronic headaches, migraines, vision changes, post-concussion and brain injury symptoms, and difficulty returning to daily activity or sport through a structured, progressive approach.
-
Targeted treatment for muscle tension and pain
Dry needling helps release tight muscles, reduce pain, and improve movement by addressing trigger points within muscle tissue. It’s commonly combined with corrective exercise for lasting results.
-
Non-invasive treatment for chronic pain
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in stubborn tendon and soft tissue injuries. It’s often used when pain has not responded to traditional rehabilitation alone.
-
Build strength with less joint stress
BFR therapy allows strength gains using lighter loads by safely restricting blood flow during exercise. It’s an effective tool during post-surgical recovery or when traditional strength training isn’t yet appropriate.
