Specialized Treatments to Accelerate Healing
Manual Therapy (“Hands-On” Therapy)
Our hands-on approach to physical therapy includes joint and soft tissue mobilization techniques. This method helps relieve pain, restore range of motion, improve function, and support full rehabilitation. Manual therapy plays a crucial role in accelerating the healing process and preventing re-injury.
Aquatic Therapy
Available at our Medina Main Clinic and Rootstown – NEOMED locations, aquatic therapy provides a low-impact environment for healing. Water resistance reduces stress on joints while helping to build strength, improve mobility, and reduce swelling. This gentle but effective therapy is ideal for patients recovering from surgery, joint injuries, or chronic conditions.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique that targets myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that contribute to pain and restricted movement. By inserting thin, sterile needles directly into these trigger points, we help reduce pain, release muscle tension, and promote healing from within. Dry needling is particularly beneficial for sports-related injuries, enhancing mobility and speeding recovery when combined with other rehabilitation techniques.
Pain Management
Pain management is an essential component of our sports rehabilitation programs. Our therapists are trained not only to address your discomfort but also to identify and treat the root causes of your pain—whether from trauma, inflammation, or overuse. We aim to prevent injuries from becoming chronic and ensure a successful recovery.
