- Dry needling (similar to acupuncture)
- Graston® (technique to detect and treat scar tissue that affects normal body function)
- Manual therapy for lymphedema (limb swelling)
Woman’s Center for Wellness also has a warm water therapy pool, which offers many advantages that are essential in helping therapy patients achieve success. The buoyancy of the aqua environment reduces body weight resistance and stress on the joints, and increases ease of movement.
