Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is a physical therapy intervention encompassing a broad range of activities designed to restore or improve musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and/or neurological function.

Stroke Rehabilitation is the process of restoration of skills following a stroke to help the patient achieve maximum motor control strength, balance, and mobility.
Bowenwork is a gentle, yet powerfully effective manual therapy technique that involves precisely located movements over soft tissue structures. Impulses are sent via the nervous system to the brain which activates a deep relaxation response and triggers the body’s natural healing response.
It is unlike massage in that wait periods are incorporated, allowing for a multi-dimensional response from a matrix of body systems. Muscular tension is decreased, diaphragmatic breathing becomes deeper, and pain is decreased. Most clients are amazed at how such a gentle technique can have such a profound response. Bowenwork is painless, non-invasive, and can help to provide lasting relief from a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. It is safe for all ages from infants to the elderly.
