HOW DO WE HELP?
Recovery
We provide manual therapy including soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization to help you recover and get reset. A custom exercise program will be provided to each individual that addresses weakness or range of motion limitations. Whether you had an injury, a surgery, or just had a long work week, we're here to help.
Performance
Your activity level might be limited by prolonged postures and poor movement patterns. We provide an in-depth movement analysis in order to establish an exercise program that can address your weaknesses and improve your performance in your desired sport or activity. Whether you're competing at a high level or just want to beat your friends at pickle ball, we're here to help.
Wellness
Do you feel lost after "graduating" from physical therapy? Do you need accountability to maintain a pain-free, active lifestyle? Do you want to prevent pain or injury? We are there to help you to meet all of your goals and guide you for as long as you need. Our Wellness Coaches are available to keep families moving and active for as long as possible.
