MOVEMENT REHABILITATION
Physical Therapists are movement specialists trained to get you back to doing the things you love and achieve your full potential
​
Your initial visit will include a full movement evaluation.
​
Afterwards it is pretty simple:
​
1. Movement patterns that may impede recovery are identified
​
2. A personalized plan will be created to help address those movement patterns
​
3. Ongoing reassessment and adjustments will be made to your plan during follow up sessions

MANUAL
THERAPY
You can think of manual therapy as anything hands-on. Manipulation, mobilization, massage, and trigger point release are just some examples of manual therapy.
​
Manual therapy promotes an increase in range of motion to restore the mobility and flexibility of joints, muscles, etc.
Manual therapy also decreases pain and reduces inflammation/swelling by promoting the relaxation of muscles in addition to increasing circulation within the area.

IMS vs ACUPUNCTURE
IMS
-
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a westernized approach to needling.
-
Targets dysfunctional muscles and nerve in order to relieve pain
-
Often an unpleasant aching experience but can give instant relief depending on the injury
-
Great for releasing trigger points and chronic pain
-
The needle is inserted into a tight muscle to stimulate a contract-relax reflex, then removed immediately
-
Most common side effects: soreness and fatigue up to 48 hrs after, pain during needle insertion
ACUPUNCTURE
-
Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine
-
Targets meridian points to promote proper flow of blood or chi
-
Should be a relaxing and and relatively pain free experience
-
Great for stress, nausea, headaches and well as re-balancing the body's energies
-
Multiple needles are inserted into specific meridian point and left in while you relax for 10-20min
-
Most common side effects - local tenderness and pain during needle insertion. Most people feel fine after
*Your therapist will give more information about the potential benefits and side effects of needling as it relates specifically to your injury.
