Dry Needling

Target stubborn knots, trigger points, and chronic tightness with precision. Fine needles release muscle tension at its core, speeding recovery for athletes and professionals alike.

Cupping

Ancient practice, modern results. Negative pressure cups boost circulation, reduce stiffness, and promote faster healing. Perfect for relieving shoulder/back tightness after workouts or desk hours.

Body Tempering

Weighted steel rollers reshape and mobilize soft tissue, improving flexibility and mobility. Ideal for athletes who need deep recovery that stretching alone can’t achieve.

Neuromuscular Stimulation

Electrical impulses activate muscles, reduce pain, and accelerate rehab. A smart choice for post-injury recovery or pre-training activation.

Recovery is everywhere. Results like ours are rare.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never done any type of physical therapy before, and sam made me feel so comfortable! Training for my first marathon, I developed a couple injuries and had major shin splints that were really affecting my overall movement. During the therapy I was prepared and knew exactly what was being done and why. Days later, my legs feel great and I definitely will be going back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing experience! I’ve been having hip pain for some time from a small hip labral tear and decided to give Castle a try. Sam was amazing and extremely informative during the entire process making sure I knew what we were doing and what I should continue to do to ensure optimal results. With just one session I felt so much better already. Can’t wait to continue treatment to ensure a full recovery. 10/10 would recommend Sam for all your recovery needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Sam for reoccurring knee pain. He did a thorough examination, explained the reason for my pain and was able to greatly reduce my discomfort  with his soft tissue work / body tempering/ and dry needling.  I have seen Sam for heel pain, low back pain and knee pain.  Regardless the complaint, he always manages to improve  my symptoms.  Thank you Sam !
