About Us

Why Choose Us

Utilizing a holistic approach, our therapists specialize in performance rehabilitation, whereby we bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance.

How We Can Help You

We seek to identify less than ideal movement patterns at the fundamental level in order to restore function and improve your quality of life.

See the Difference

We treat the body as whole with an understanding that local dysfunction can significantly impair global movement patterns and ultimately impact higher level activities involved in sport and life. 

Our Services

Functional Movement Screening/Assessment

Our physical therapy evaluations start with a functional movement assessment to identify less than ideal fundamental movement patterns and ISOLATE movement dysfunction at the local level.

 

Manual Therapy

We offer several  forms of manual therapy, including but not limited to:  trigger point/myofascial release, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), Cupping, Functional Range Release, Fascial Stretching, Joint Mobilizations/Manipulations. Our interventions are designed to be used as a form of restorative input to the neuromuscular system to either downregulate hyperactivity and/or upregulate hypoactivity.


Corrective Exercise Progressions

Our corrective exercise progressions are modeled after the neurodevelopmental perspective. Exercise strategies are designed to INNERVATE and restore fundamental movement patterns in order to build a solid foundation of mobility/stability from the ground up.


Our Services

Return to Sport Rehabilitation

Once fundamental movement patterns are restored, we INTEGRATE load, speed, and complexity to effectively and proficiently return our athletes/clients to higher level activities and the demands of sport and/or life.
