Our Specialty Therapy Services

Therapies Unlimited provides certain specialty therapy services that are usually not provided in most outpatient therapy clinics. Each of our therapists has years of experience working with neurologically-involved individuals at several different inpatient and outpatient facilities. They have also attended numerous continuing education seminars to increase their knowledge and expertise in certain areas of interest. Due to this high level of experience and continuing education knowledge, Therapies Unlimited can offer specialized therapy services in the following areas.

Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy

Myofascial release therapy involves techniques that provide sustained pressure through the myofascial system to eliminate pain and restore motion. It is a hands-on treatment approach to remove fascial restrictions brought on by physical or emotional trauma. Restoring the fascial system allows for improved mobility and increased functional performance.

Craniosacral therapy involves the manipulation of the bones of the skull to produce improvements in the health of an individual.

Conditions that benefit from these therapies:
     *Chronic pain
     *Fibromyalgia
     *Neck and back pain
     *Migraines/Headaches
     *TMJ problems
     *Carpal tunnel/wrist pain
     *Myofascial pain syndrome
