Our Physical Therapy & Sports Performance Treatments
Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy involves the hands-on treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This is a broad group of sophisticated techniques performed by hand by uniquely trained physical therapists. These treatments may include mobilizations or manipulations of soft tissue and skeletal joints in order to decrease pain and increase function.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise allows the body to strengthen and heal around the injury in a way that uses the body as the incredible piece of machinery that it is. While these exercises don’t mimic everyday tasks, they improve function and treat the injury.
Neurological & Balance Disorders
Vestibular and balance disorders can affect so many areas of our lives. Issues impacted by our vestibular system often affect how we walk, talk, and interact with our environment. Our treatment approach includes: postural assessment, movement analysis, mobility, and gaze stability training. We’ll help you move comfortably again, while overcoming concussion, dizziness, and more!
Movement Analysis
A comprehensive assessment process where a movement specialist from our team evaluates your movement patterns to identify dysfunctions, imbalances, or inefficiencies. This analysis is crucial in diagnosing potential underlying causes of pain, injury, or mobility issues and in developing an effective treatment plan.
Astym®
Astym® treatment is the regenerative medicine of therapy and is designed to restore soft tissues at a cellular level. It regenerates healthy soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.), and removes unwanted scar tissue that may be causing pain or movement restrictions.
Hypervolt™ Massage
This type of targeted deep tissue massage can help relieve common muscle pain and stiffness, improve range of motion and blood flow, and reduce injury risks down the road. With four interchangeable head attachments, it’s also easy to customize your recovery work to any specific region of the body, opening up more options than other static mobility tools.
Dry Needling
The goal of dry needling is to improve blood flow to injured, malnourished tissue, effectively restoring the healing process. By inserting small, thin needles into the tissue, a lesion is created, effectively creating a mild inflammatory process and microcirculation. Dry needling is also utilized as a treatment technique to release trigger points and eliminate pain.
Cupping
Myofascial decompression, otherwise known as cupping, uses negative pressure to decompress muscle knots. This allows for increased blood flow and improved nutrient exchange for better healing. Cupping helps in the treatment of wounds, skin grafts, and musculoskeletal pain and stiffness, more than making up for the dark marks it can temporarily leave behind.
Rocktaping™
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). This pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
Normatec™ System
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). This pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
