SERVICES

Whether you are suffering from an unexpected injury, planning an upcoming surgery or managing a long-term health condition, we would like to partner to help you return to an active lifestyle. Our professional team of licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants are here for you. 

INJURY

Many people hurt, with activities like exercise, gardening, cycling, running, enjoying the outdoors, because the body is not strong enough to withstand the forces of those activities. The result is pain, aching, stiffness and swelling due to  two things:

  1. Physical infrastructure - posture, specific muscle imbalances, inflexibility in key areas and movement patterns and

  2. Tissue strength - muscle, tendon, cartilage, bone and disc

We address both issues with the following techniques:

  • Unique exercise plan – reps, sets, frequency, intensity  and core training– to  strengthen injured/weak tissue.

  • Manual Therapy for joint mobilization, myofascial stretching and other manual techniques 

  • Kinesio Taping  is an effective technique of applying an elastic tape to reduce symptoms of stiffness, aching, pain and swelling.
