We have made it our mission to provide our patients with the finest care possible in a supportive, caring and loving environment to help them live the best life they can.
Because the majority of the care we provide is physical therapy, it is typically covered by your insurance plan. We are in-network with most major insurance carriers and will work with you through our Foundation if you don’t have adequate insurance coverage.

Many scientific studies have come to the same conclusion: when a person is undergoing or has undergone treatments for cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, they are able to tolerate their treatments better if they engage in physical and exercise therapy. This combination of therapies works together to reduce fatigue, maintain strength and improve your quality of life. We are also here to help you after you are done with your treatments and wonder, “Now what?” We’ll work with you to design your plan for wellness and help you get back to life!
Lymphedema occurs when fluid builds up in the soft tissues of the body and the therapy used to treat it is called manual lymph drainage. This type of specialized massage, in conjunction with skin care, compression and exercise therapy, works to reduce and eliminate lymphedema. Our therapists are specially trained and have years of experience treating this condition.

Metabolic Rate Testing - In order to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume, so metabolic testing will help you determine the calories you burn at rest and, with your activity log, the maximum amount of calories you can consume in a day and still lose weight. This illuminating test measures your metabolic rate which is the number of calories you would burn doing nothing but resting. It takes about 30 minutes to administer and we will give you the results right away. You can then meet with our dietician who can create a plan with you to meet your weight management goals.
Supplements – With all of the conflicting and overwhelming information, it can be difficult to sort out if it is valuable to take supplements or not.

She is also available to work with your family members to address any issues they might be facing.
Occupational Therapist: Nancy Hillmer, OT
When any illness, injury or disability inhibits a person from effectively or independently performing daily tasks, occupational therapy is used to help regain those functional abilities. Like physical therapy, occupational therapy uses repetitive movements to increase strength and mobility, but with one difference - the therapy is performed in the context of a functional activity. The ultimate goal, in occupational therapy, is for you to live a more independent life.

Typically people think that yoga is just stretching and odd poses, but while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility.
