Correcting muscle imbalances to improve posture
When muscles, tendons, or ligaments of the spine are damaged
through work injuries, car accidents, overexertion, repetitive
motion, or simply weakened by inactivity, your overall health
is affected. Under the direction of our medical team, our
physical therapists can help you take advantage of our unique
rehabilitation program. We focus on correcting muscle imbalances
that can lead to faulty posture and chronic pain. We do
this by providing a combination of passive and active care
