Falls and fear of falling in our senior population are recognized public health crises.

According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in older adults by a wide margin. Each year, more than two million seniors experience a fall severe enough to necessitate emergency medical treatment. This number along with the associated personal and societal costs of falling is expected to rise as our population ages. Despite these grim statistics, many falls are preventable with professional interventions that address the causes of falling in older adults.

Our expert clinicians are trained in evidence-based interventions that are proven by controlled clinical trials to effectively reduce the number of falls in older adults.

There are other factors that also contribute to falls. Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, vestibular disorders, and neuropathy also increase fall risk. Our therapy team is well equipped to address the problems of falling and the fear of falling in individuals living with these conditions.

We provide quality, comprehensive treatment for patients who are injured or suffering from any type of movement or function disorder.

As a key member of today's dynamic health care team, we prescribe a goal-oriented athlete training program starting with an evaluation, comprehensive training plan, and injury prevention for our patient's specific needs. 

Athlete Training includes but is not limited to: 

• Speed Training
• Vertical Jump Training
• Adult Fitness

Speed Training:

Our speed program focuses on two outcomes: explosive acceleration, and a fast max speed. Sprint technique and leg power are the big drivers of speed, so our programs focus on enhancing both to maximize speed.

Athletes in our program learn what to do with their arms, hands, hips, feet, and chest in order to run their fastest. 

Vertical Jump Training:

To improve your jump height as fast as possible without wasting time and effort, there are two undeniable truths:

1. Every person is unique and training works best when tailored to you as an individual. Cookie-cutter programs don’t cut it.

2. Not all exercise is created equal. You have to pick the right exercises, with the right weights, in the right order for your body.

We know training works best when customized for each individual.

In this program, every athlete is tested to determine exactly what type of training he or she needs as an individual in order to maximize jump height.

After testing, we analyze the data and build your program to target exactly what you need and not waste your time and energy with what you don’t.

Once you do the testing and we write your training program, you can then complete the program on your own. Our programs are written in four-week cycles. After you complete your four-week cycle, you’ll come back for re-testing to track progress and determine what changes need to be made in your training. As you advance, the type of training you need will change. RE-testing every four weeks allows us to monitor your progression closely so that every training session is exactly what your body needs to get as explosive as possible.
