Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation

At the Advanced Wellness Center, we have developed multi-faceted rehabilitation and active conditioning programs to address treatment for occupational and sports injuries, failed surgeries and postural dysfunction.

We help patients reach optimal potential by introducing programs that are tailored to you rather than your condition. We pride ourselves in providing a supportive, individually paced approach to accompany you on the road to a successful outcome. The key to restoration of function lies in the understanding of what motivates you and how you learn. It is of great importance for our specialists to meet you at your current stage of recovery, and by actively listening to your needs, we take the initial step in creating a successful regimen.

Balance and stabilization lie at the core of our rehab program. In addition to the re-conditioning of a shoulder, elbow, back, neck or knee, we incorporate the use of balance work to strengthen the body's ability to recover in the future.

Along with loss of area specific function, individuals lose their ability to balance and stabilize for a number of reasons. Previous injury and scar tissue surrounding any joint make the neuromuscular system lazy; and in turn, we slowly lose the sense of where we are in space. Incorporating balance and stabilization gives you enhanced functional movement in sport, exercise and activities of daily living.

If you are looking for increased function due to injury, enhanced ability in sport or improvements in posture and core strength, consider the Advanced Wellness Center for a safe, cutting edge and effective approach to reaching your rehabilitation goals.

Finishing the Half IM race was great, but meeting my goal time was a fantastic feeling (being in the top 10 in my age group was just icing on the cake)! I couldn't have done it without your treatments enabling me to train to my fullest potential over the last 6 months! Thank you for your great care and timely arrival to Long Beach!" - Maria
