The most important part of these exercises is safety and we can help you along the way as you reach your fitness goals.

They can provide a number of health benefits for athletes including pain relief, improved joint range of motion, and myofascial release.  

·        Orthotics, braces and supports – Orthotics can be very beneficial for those who suffer from plantar fasciitis, foot pain, pes planus or flat feet. If you already have, or are considering a back brace, knee brace, wrist or ankle brace we can help to ensure you are using it properly to get the best benefit. 

·       Extremity adjusting – An extremity is a limb of the body such as a hand or a foot. If you are experiencing weakness, pain, stiffness, immobility, numbness or locking in a joint other than your spine, we are able to address that as well. We can adjust joints of the body including the TMJ, ribs, shoulders, elbows, hands and wrists, hips, knees and feet.

Our goal is to help get you out of pain and back to your regular life.
