What to expect from your care program.
Welcome to our Mini-Intensive Program—a fresh take on traditional outpatient rehab designed to support our local clients on their healing journey. Inspired by the success of our full intensive program, we crafted a compact version to keep you moving forward.

Prep Assessment
Before diving into the mini-intensive, we start with a comprehensive assessment, just like in our full program. This this involves two appointments (ideally in the same week), allowing us to thoroughly understand your needs and tailor our approach accordingly. Through this process, we uncover the root cause of your symptoms, address any concerns, and determine if the mini-intensive is the right fit for you. If it is, we schedule your first week of intensive sessions, propelling you further along your healing journey.
Intensive Week
In this mini-intensive model, we concentrate the power of daily sessions to amplify your progress throughout the week. You'll join us at the clinic once a day for four to five days, soaking in the benefits of focused attention and tailored exercises.

For the next three weeks, you'll diligently follow this program, nurturing your recovery from the comfort of your own space. You’ll return the next month to continue to increase the challenge, refine and keep taking steps forward.
