Their treatments focus on individualized neurological rehabilitation protocols focused on increasing function through sensorimotor training and neuro-orthopedic exercises.
The Doctors manage pain and dysfunctional movement by utilizing corrective exercises, soft tissue modalities, manual therapies, gait retraining protocols and individualized neuromuscular training programs fit for the specific needs of their patients.
