Services
Full-Body Movement Assessment
This diagnostic process identifies muscle imbalances and movement dysfunctions through self-tests for conditions like knee pain, sciatica, and shoulder pain. By analyzing functional patterns, we create targeted treatment plans to restore mobility and eliminate pain. Patients receive actionable insights into their body mechanics, enabling long-term recovery through corrective exercises and therapy.
Dry Needling
A minimally invasive technique using thin needles to target muscle trigger points, reducing tension and chronic pain. This treatment improves range of motion by releasing tight fascia and stimulating natural healing processes. Patients often experience immediate relief from conditions like rotator cuff injuries and plantar fasciitis, with cumulative benefits observed over multiple sessions.
Applied Functional Science
This evidence-based approach integrates biomechanics and behavioral science to address pain through movement-based solutions. By treating the body as an interconnected kinetic chain, we resolve issues like hip bursitis and spinal stenosis by addressing compensatory patterns. Patients learn how daily activities impact their condition and receive personalized movement strategies for sustained recovery.
Prescriptive Home Exercise Program
Customized exercise regimens delivered via the MyMovement Rx app, focusing on core stability and functional mobility. These programs reinforce clinic treatments by building strength and flexibility between sessions. Patients track progress through video demonstrations and receive real-time feedback, ensuring proper form and adherence to therapeutic goals for conditions like osteoporosis and ligament sprains.
Manual Therapy
Skilled hand techniques mobilize joints and soft tissues to alleviate pain from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and sacroiliac dysfunction. This direct intervention improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and restores normal movement patterns. Combined with patient education, manual therapy accelerates recovery while teaching self-management techniques for chronic conditions like arthritis and tendonitis.
