What to Expect from Therapy

Your therapy begins with a detailed evaluation of your posture, mobility, muscle strength, and nerve involvement. Based on your unique condition and goals, we’ll design a tailored plan that may include:

  • Manual therapy to reduce tension and improve joint mobility

  • Targeted stretching and strengthening for neck, shoulders, and upper back

  • Postural retraining to reduce everyday strain
