Many local physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners and other health care professionals refer to RN Therapeutics on a regular basis. Individuals with Worker’s Compensation and automobile injuries are covered by insurance at RN Therapeutics-a prescription from a treating physician is all that is needed for treatment.

RN Therapeutics provides relaxation massage that can be very effective for the stress we encounter in our daily lives. Repetitive strain conditions, chronic overuse, work and life related stress, poor posture and associated muscle imbalances are some of the many factors that can contribute to increased muscle tension, headaches, anxiety and insomnia that subsequently increase the risk of pain and injury. Do you sit at a desk all day, stand at your job, lift or use a keyboard most of the time? RN Therapeutics can provide a thorough posture analysis to identify muscle imbalances and in turn, stretch the tight muscles and strengthen the weak muscles to enhance functional movement for the activities of daily life. RN Therapeutics specializes in creating a program of massage and fitness based on an assessment that is customized specifically to your needs. Kinesiotaping can also be used to enhance the rehabilitative process. Active Isolated Stretching and personal training with resistance bands and weights to improve posture and promote muscle balance for optimal physical and mental functioning can easily transition to a home exercise or gym program.

RN Therapeutics sells home exercise equipment for stretching and strengthening as well as educational products such as Guided Imagery, books, Biofreeze and Sombra cooling and warming lotions, exercise manuals, foam rollers, therapeutic pillows, hot and cold packs and most Thera-Band products including resistance bands and tubing, handles, exercise balls and ankle weights.
