What to Expect from Therapy at Root Therapy & Wellness

Your therapy journey begins with a comprehensive assessment, including a full review of your medical history and past treatments, a movement analysis to evaluate posture, balance, and gait, and strength and flexibility testing to identify muscle imbalances. From there, a personalized treatment plan is created, focused on pain relief and restoring mobility. As you progress, your plan evolves to ensure you receive the most effective treatments at every stage of recovery.
