Key Pieces of Your Physical Therapy Plan

Initial Evaluation:     A detailed, comprehensive assessment to understand your symptoms, find the root cause(s) and any associated problems, and determine exactly what needs to be done to fix all of it. 

Manual Therapy:     Hands-on treatment aimed at reducing pain and/or improving joint or soft tissue mobility. This may consist of joint mobilization/ manipulation, massage techniques, scraping, cupping, etc. Helps you feel better.

Dry Needling:     The use of thin acupuncture needles to penetrate muscles and trigger points to relieve pain, improve movement impairments, and treat a variety of neuromusculoskeletal problems. Often performed in conjunction with electrical stimulation.

Corrective Exercises:     Specific targeted exercises designed to effectively address the relevant problems identified during your initial evaluation. Aimed at improving joint range of motion, muscle flexibility, strength, balance, stability, etc. Helps you move better.

Home Exercise Plan:     To maximize the effectiveness of physical therapy and get better faster, it's important that you consistently do a few of the most important exercises at home between visits. We'll teach you exactly what to do and ensure you have the resources you need to do them.

A detailed analysis of your running form using slow motion recording software from multiple viewing angles. We then use the software and our highly trained eyes and brains to break down the findings that could be contributing to pain or inefficiency. Finally, we'll educate you on those findings and teach you solutions that are easy to implement so that you can become a more efficient, pain-free runner.

We all need to prepare and train our bodies to be able to safely and effectively withstand the physical demands that will be placed on them. A football player, a golfer, a surfer, and a runner all have vastly different physical demands that they need to prepare and train their bodies for. However, physical preparation is key for all of them.

We analyze the physical demands of your particular sport/position/activity and build a customized, full-body strength and conditioning program to prepare your body for success.

On-site and virtual services available so that you can train in our gym or yours.

We all know that injuries are a possible risk of playing sports, but did you know that you can take steps to actually reduce that likelihood?

By ensuring optimal movement patterns, working on correct jumping/landing techniques, hip strengthening, balance/proprioception drills, etc, we can significantly reduce the risk of suffering an ACL tear or other injuries.

Not only that- but by doing these programs, we also improve athletic performance simultaneously. 

In 2018, Kate Webster and Timothy Hewett published the largest study ever analyzing the effectiveness of ACL injury reduction training programs. They analyzed 8 different meta-analysis studies, which in total contained over 84,000 athletes (that's a very large sample size). They concluded that athletes who participated in an ACL injury prevention training program showed an overall 50% reduction (OR = 0.5 [0.41–0.59]; I2 = 15%) in the risk of all ACL injuries and a 67% reduction (OR = 0.33 [0.27–0.41]; I2 = 15%) for non-contact ACL injuries in females. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jor.24043

The potential pain, time, and cost savings from these results are massive and immeasurable.

Decreased injury risk + improved sport performance = Winning.
