Strength training for women with osteoporosis is an excellent way to increase and maintain bone mineral density, muscle strength, and to promote optimal alignment and balance throughout your whole body. Improving balance is important because it will reduce the risk of a fall or fracture happening to the body. To read more, click here.

Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy is an advanced therapeutic technique that can be referred to as trigger point therapy which addresses problems in muscles, connective tissues, and joints. This procedure is a slow traction/stretch process that releases tension in the fascia. This process helps to release scars and adhesions, and it will aid in restoring balance. One of the main benefits of NMT is the increased flexibility in the joints of the extremities (upper and lower).

Neuromuscular Therapy can treat sinus problems, TMJ discomfort and facial pain, headaches, ear ringing, pain or dysfunction of the digestive system, low back pain, decreased breathing capacity, menstrual problems, anxiety attacks, relieves thoracic outlet syndrome, nerve entrapment, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, weak or painful grip, hand or arm pain, tendonitis, hip and knee pain, leg cramps, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, pulled muscles, groin injuries, scoliosis, pseudo-sciatica, sacroiliac complaints, weak ankles, foot cramps, hammer toe, claw toe, and tarsal tunnel syndrome.

* Neuromuscular Therapy will be offered on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
