Speech pathology is more than just traditional speech therapy. We work with a variety of conditions, including receptive language, which involves processing what we hear. We also treat swallowing disorders to help prevent aspiration pneumonia, weight loss and choking.

Speech therapy benefits patients with:

• Articulation/phonological disorder

• Language disorder

• Dysphagia (problem with swallowing)

Sports rehabilitation and physical therapy share many similarities. Both focus on improving movement, reducing pain and aiding recovery. Sports rehabilitation is tailored for athletes and active people who want to return to peak athletic performance. It helps prevent sports-related injuries, improves performance and addresses biomechanical imbalances that could hinder athletic ability.
