Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy sessions focus on resolving chronic and acute pain through manual techniques, targeted exercises, and biomechanical analysis. We address root causes of dysfunction while providing immediate relief. Patients receive customized plans integrating strength training, mobility work, and education to restore optimal function for daily activities and athletic performance.
Running Analysis
This 3D video analysis identifies movement inefficiencies causing pain or limiting performance. Certified specialists evaluate your running mechanics and prescribe corrective exercises to improve efficiency, reduce injury risk, and enhance speed. Both in-person and remote options available for runners of all skill levels seeking pain-free performance.
Pain-Free Performance Program
A comprehensive monthly program combining physical therapy with nutrition and performance coaching. Designed for active individuals, it includes hands-on treatment, personalized workouts, and lifestyle strategies to eliminate pain while improving strength, mobility, and athletic capabilities through sustained, measurable progress.
Group Rehab Sessions
Semi-personalized rehabilitation programs for runners and athletes focus on mobility restoration, injury prevention, and functional movement patterns. Sessions incorporate community support with expert guidance from physical therapists, using app-based tracking and weekly meetings to maintain accountability and track progress toward pain-free activity.
Dry Needling
Certified practitioners use fine needles to target muscle trigger points causing chronic pain and restricted mobility. This technique rapidly reduces tension, improves circulation, and restores normal tissue function, often providing immediate relief for conditions like plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, and post-surgical stiffness.
