Physical Therapy
Let’s get you back to when you didn’t think of limitations. When your body worked for you and didn’t hold you back.
WE DON’T STOP AT WHERE IT HURTS
We find why it hurts. The root cause of your pain is sometimes where it hurts, but sometimes it’s elsewhere on your body. We keep searching until we find it. The root cause is as much a part of your treatment plan as the actual pain you’re feeling. Throughout your treatment we’ll continue to reassess how your body is moving to make sure therapy evolves as you make progress.
WE HAVE A DEEP TOOLBOX, AND WE DON’T PLAY FAVORITES
Our physical therapists are trained in a variety of hands on techniques. Which techniques do they use on you? That depends on what’s hurting and where its root cause is. We don’t force patients into certain techniques because we like them, or they’re the only ones we know. Here are the physical therapy techniques we provide:
+ Balance Training
If you suffer from dizziness, vertigo, motion sensitivity, instability, or have a history of falling, our comprehensive rehabilitation program will help you find solid footing.
+ The McKenzie Method
The MeKenzie Method is a type of mechanical diagnosis and therapy technique that uses repetitive movements of the spine and extremities rather than a single movement to assess your symptoms and improve pain free mobility.
+ The Maitland Approach
The Maitland Approach is a manual therapy technique that uses graded passive joint mobilizations on any restricted joints to improve pain levels and restore mobility and function.
+ The Mulligan Concept
The Mulligan Concept is a manual therapy technique that uses a sustained joint mobilization with the patient performing a repeated movement in order to address a movement restriction and restore full pain free ROM at the point of restriction.
+ Postural Restoration Institute Methodologies
PRI recognizes that dominant overuse on one side of the body for neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, and vision systems can develop disuse and weaknesses. These dominant overuse patterns can be treated through specific exercise programs.
+ ASTYM
ASTYM is a treatment that uses specialized tools on soft tissue, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, to improve mobility and decrease pain. By causing “a-stimulation,” the body’s natural healing process, the muscles are allowed to heal and regenerate.
+ Gait and Biomechanics Analysis
Examination of movement is completed through tests and measures looking directly at strength, mobility and flexibility of the musculoskeletal system and gait mechanics. Compensatory movement patterns, limitations and abnormalities are then identified allowing the physical therapist to understand and treat the root cause of symptoms.
+ Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is applied as an adjunct to rehabilitation with various possible goals in mind. Possible uses include: assisting blood flow to increase healing or decrease swelling in a body region, providing musculoskeletal stability at a particular joint, or providing tactile input for re-education of posture.
+ Dry Needling
Dry needling complements physical therapy by targeting the musculoskeletal and nervous system in different ways for deeper pain relief.

Functional Movement Screen is a tool used before participation in activities to identify and quantify compensatory movement patterns. Inefficient movement patterns can lead to increased risk of injury and decreased performance. These screens are followed up by appropriate treatment to correct the movement patterns.
+ Selective Functional Movement Assessment
The Selective Functional Movement Assessment is a series of movement tests to assess patterns of movement that cause pain. This assessment acts as a guide to break down dysfunctional movement patterns to determine if the cause is mobility, stability, or motor control. This assessment serves as a guide to be followed up by the physical therapist for treatment.
+ Ergonomic Assessments
We examine all aspects of a patient’s work environment and duties in order to understand individual needs. Ergonomic factors are then addressed as needed, including postural education and change, recommendations for equipment or environmental adjustments.
