Restoring comfort and the joy of movement lost by post-surgical swelling, chronic edema, venous circulation deficiencies and a weakened lymphatic system is one of our specialties.

We reduce swelling through a protocol system of hands-on therapy that promotes your best results.

Balance problems are complicated, but they don’t have to be. Our team uses tools and diagnostic tests that can simplify the coordination of the ears and eyes and how they give instant signals to the brain. When this harmonious system is off, we’re here to make things right.
