Active Release Techniques
Active Release Techniques (ART) treat soft-tissue injuries through targeted manual adjustments. This method addresses muscle, tendon, and nerve restrictions caused by adhesions and scar tissue. Our certified practitioners use ART to resolve conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and chronic pain by restoring normal tissue function and movement patterns.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments focus on spinal and extremity alignment using hands-on techniques. We employ diversified methods including Activator, Drop Table, and Sacro-Occipital Technique to correct joint dysfunction. This approach improves mobility, reduces nerve irritation, and enhances overall musculoskeletal function through natural, drug-free interventions.
Graston Technique
Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to detect and treat soft-tissue restrictions. This evidence-based method effectively addresses conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and post-surgical scar tissue. Our practitioners apply controlled microtrauma to affected areas, stimulating healing and restoring normal tissue texture and function.
Postural Therapy
Egoscue University-certified postural therapy addresses musculoskeletal pain through individualized exercise programs. We assess structural imbalances and prescribe specific stretches to realign the body. This method improves posture, reduces compensatory movement patterns, and alleviates chronic pain without invasive interventions.
Functional Movement Systems
Functional Movement Systems evaluate movement patterns that contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort. Our certified practitioners use Selective Functional Movement Assessment to identify limitations and asymmetries. We develop corrective exercise programs to restore proper movement mechanics, enhancing performance and preventing future injuries.

I came to Bruce's office with a very prominent limp in my stride and left with my walking and overall mobility much improved. As background information I'm over 60 and a former professional dancer with a life-time of movement training, teaching and performing. As an older individual I gradually lost mobility in my left hip over time. While it is still not perfect the range of motion and progress was way more than I expected.
I am able to do almost everything that I enjoy both in terms of strong vigorous hikes, many hours of Classical Pilates and strength training, in addition to new general body movement patterns learned from Bruce. He is a strong, educated practitioner who I highly recommend. You're in good hands for sure.

From super sweet and helpful Tony at the front desk to Dr. Rizzo I couldn't be more pleased with this practice. I've had a complicated overuse injury in my shoulder and Bruce's expertise with ART has been hugely beneficial. The practice is wheelchair accessible and parking is no problem. Even if it were, I would gladly circle for parking to get the skilled treatment Dr. Rizzo provides!

I am not so enthusiastic about big adjustments. My wife saw Bruce Rizzo and he helped her. My experience has been excellent. My hip was out and off to the side and I was in pain. He adjusted me and I walked out whole. Other injuries and imbalances- I have also received help with. I have become a believer and recommend Bruce highly. A very skilled and intuitive professional.
