This is a SAFE ALTERNATIVE to MEDICATION or SURGERY and can eliminate the need for costly prescriptions.

AQUATIC THERAPY:

The use of water allows you to function at levels that are not possible outside of this environment, which affords positive physical gains. The ultimate goal of aquatic therapy is to progress you to a more functional, land-based program.
An aquatic therapy plan of care can help a patient achieve: Less pain with normal everyday activity, Improved endurance throughout the day, Greater ability to perform the activities that matter most to you and Improved balance and coordination.

IASTM:
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization is performed with ergonomically designed instruments that detect and treat facial restrictions, chronic inflammation, or degeneration in the muscle or tissue. The instruments effectively break down restrictions and scar tissue adhesion that may have developed as a result of surgery, immobilization, or repeated injury allowing full functional restoration to occur. The technique is non invasive and uses continuous pressure which evolved from a traditional Chinese medicine treatment called Gua Sha which moved bad chi out through the skin.

lSVT BIG:
LSVT BIG is an intensive whole body amplitude based training protocol for people with Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. The method was developed and funded in part by the Michael J Fox Foundation with over 20 years of research testing on motor function and has shown improvements in FASTER WALKING, BIGGER STEPS, IMPROVED BALANCE AND IMPROVED TRUNK ROTATION. Ashley is one of only 3 certified LSVT global clinicians in the Irmo/Chapin/Lake Murray area.
