Services
Certified Integrated Manual Therapy
As a Certified Integrated Manual Therapist (CIMT), Jessica Monaloy assesses dysfunction from a whole-body perspective. This approach connects pain sources to movement patterns using hands-on techniques that improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and restore natural movement mechanics through specialized manual therapy interventions.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment
SFMA evaluates fundamental movement patterns to identify musculoskeletal impairments. This systematic approach pinpoints dysfunctional non-painful patterns affecting mobility, guiding targeted interventions that improve posture, muscle balance, and functional movement through evidence-based assessment protocols developed by movement experts.
Neuromuscular Re-education
This service reprograms movement patterns using hands-on techniques and specialized tools. By correcting improper movement mechanics, we improve stability, enhance functional performance, and prevent recurring injuries through retraining that integrates with manual therapy and exercise programs.
Therapeutic Exercise
Customized exercise programs target specific impairments while building overall strength and mobility. These evidence-based routines, developed from DeLateur's therapeutic exercise principles, focus on correcting movement dysfunctions, improving joint stability, and maintaining long-term musculoskeletal health through progressive, individualized training plans.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Specialized manual techniques include joint mobilizations, myofascial release, and soft tissue mobilization. These interventions modulate pain, increase range of motion, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue extensibility through skilled hands-on approaches that complement exercise programs and movement retraining.
