Physical Therapy
After a thorough review of your medical history, an evidence-based assessment will evaluate range of motion, strength, movement patterns, and other factors to help identify or rule out specific conditions. From there, a personalized treatment plan will be developed, which may include corrective exercises, manual therapy, self-care strategies, and lifestyle changes. (See below for more on the manual therapy techniques used.)

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Mobilization of soft tissue (such as muscle, fascia and body fluids) to restore normal systemic and biomechanical/functional use. It can be used to assist in the treatment of most musculoskeletal ailments. Regular Therapeutic Massage Therapy results in improved circulatory, lymphatic and neurological functioning.
MYOFASCIAL CUPPING
Myofascial decompression, or cupping, can be used as another method of soft tissue manipulation by creating a vacuum inside a plastic/silicone cup combined with movement to provide another technique that can loosen up adhesions, increase local blood supply, and relax tense tissues.
PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE GUN
Percussion massage is a breakthrough treatment for soft tissue pain and soreness through the use of a tool that provides rapid, short duration pulses deep into the soft tissues of the body. This innovative tool accelerates the growth and repair of tissues by heavily increasing blood flow to the area.
MUSCLE ENERGY
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a form of a manual therapy which uses a muscle’s own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition, and lengthen the muscle. As compared to static stretching which is a passive technique in which therapist does all the work, MET is an active technique in which patient is also an active participant.
SOFT TISSUE BLADING
Fascial blading is a form of gentle, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. The blade itself acts as an extension of the practitioner's hands and allows the clinician to gently identify and breakdown scar tissue adhesions and fascial restrictions.
SYMMETRY ANALYSIS
Often times observable asymmetries can lead to cumulative trauma or overuse injuries. By identifying the asymmetries that may be lead to these undesirable imbalances, we can reduce the risk of future injury.
MOVEMENT SCREEN
A movement screen is a screening tool used to evaluate fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The screen is not intended to diagnose orthopedic problems but rather to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement in individuals.
SPINAL MANIPULATION
Spinal manipulation is a technique that treats back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal conditions via the application of force to the spinal joints, with the idea being that such treatment of dysfunctional areas in the spine can restore the spine’s structural integrity, reduce pain and initiate the body’s natural healing processes.

RETURN TO SPORT
Traditional physical therapy can leave a gap between recovery from surgery/injury and returning to sport. Return to sport can provide an efficient bridge to that gap to maximize potential for returning to your sport.
BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION TRAINING
Partially occluding arterial blood flow while completely occluding venous return has been shown to be safe and have great benefits for people who are recovering from an injury or surgery.
How Does it Work?
-
Blocks venous return without blocking arterial flow
-
Facilitates growth hormones
-
Creates cellular swelling
-
Fatigue recruiting more Type 2 fibers
-
Metabolites, especially Lactate, accumulates and stimulates muscle growth
Who Could Benefit?
-
Pre-op ortho patients
-
Post-op ortho patients
-
Immobilized patients
-
Active recovery populations
-
Athletes
-
Body builders
INJURY PREVENTION
A combination of examinations, and movement screens, and active therapies, an injury prevention program demands you become an active participant in preventing future injuries from slowing you down in the future.
