## Chronic Pain Management

Manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and pain education address the root causes of persistent pain—without medication.

| Condition | Treatment Approach |
| --- | --- |
| Chronic low back pain | Therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, pain education, motor control |
| Chronic neck pain | Cervical mobility, deep strengthening, postural re-education |
| Fibromyalgia | Gradual aerobic exercise, education, relaxation techniques |
| Painful osteoarthritis | Strength exercise, joint mobility, physical analgesia |
| Chronic tendinopathies | Eccentric/isometric exercise, progressive loading |
| Myofascial pain syndrome | Myofascial release, stretching, active exercise |
| Persistent post-surgical pain | Functional exercise, sensorimotor retraining |
| Complex regional pain syndrome | Gradual mobilization, motor imagery, desensitization |

## Neurological Rehabilitation

Specialized therapy protocols for stroke, TBI, and nerve conditions restore function, balance, and independence.

| Condition | Treatment Approach |
| --- | --- |
| Stroke recovery | Gait re-education, postural control, neuromuscular facilitation |
| Parkinson's disease | Amplitude training, balance and gait |
| Multiple sclerosis | Dosed exercise, energy conservation |
| Traumatic brain injury (TBI) | Functional retraining, balance, coordination |
| Incomplete spinal cord injury | Functional strengthening, gait training |
| Peripheral neuropathies | Sensorimotor exercise, functional re-education |
| Guillain-Barré syndrome | Progressive mobility, gradual strengthening |
| Ataxias | Coordination and stability training |

## Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Structured recovery programs after orthopedic and spinal surgeries restore mobility, strength, and function.

| Condition | Treatment Approach |
| --- | --- |
| Knee replacement | Early mobility, strengthening, gait |
| Hip replacement | Functional re-education, load control |
| Shoulder surgery | Progressive mobility, rotator cuff strengthening |
| ACL reconstruction | Neuromuscular control, stability |
| Spine surgery | Motor control, progressive strengthening |
| Fracture repair | Mobility, strength and function |
| Hand surgery | Fine mobility, tendon gliding |
| Tendon repair | Progressive loading protocols |

## Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Breathing techniques and endurance conditioning from an ICU-trained specialist improve respiratory function and cardiovascular fitness.

| Condition | Treatment Approach |
| --- | --- |
| COPD | Aerobic exercise, respiratory training |
| Heart failure | Supervised exercise, education |
| Post-heart attack recovery | Progressive physical reconditioning |
| Asthma management | Respiratory training, ventilatory control |
| Pulmonary fibrosis | Adapted aerobic exercise |
