Injury Evaluation
In our one-on-one sessions, your evaluation is a focused investigation to find the exact source of your pain. We start with a detailed discussion of your history and goals, followed by a comprehensive hands-on assessment of your movement, strength, and painful tissues. This allows for a precise diagnosis, leading to a highly effective and targeted treatment plan designed specifically for you. Our goal is to get you better and return you to whatever it is that you love doing.
Acute Injury Management
We want to make the right decisions in the critical window immediately following an injury. Our approach provides immediate, expert guidance to control pain and swelling while protecting the damaged tissue. We then introduce precise, gentle movements to promote circulation and prevent the stiffness and weakness that can delay recovery. This early, strategic intervention is key to minimizing downtime and preventing an acute problem from becoming a chronic issue.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is the engine of your recovery and the key to lasting results. This is not just a list of exercises; it is a strategic and progressive plan of purposeful movement designed for your unique diagnosis. While our hands-on therapies create a window for rapid change, therapeutic exercise is what empowers you to own that change. It rebuilds foundational strength, restores precise neuromuscular control, and teaches your body how to manage load safely and efficiently. This is how we bridge the gap from rehabilitation to resilient performance, ensuring your results are not just temporary, but transformative.
Running-Specific Strength Programming
For runners, strength training isn’t about “getting big”—it’s about becoming unbreakable and improving performance. Generic gym routines often neglect the specific demands of the gait cycle. Our Running-Specific Strength Programming bridges the gap between traditional weightlifting and the unique demands of running. We focus on building a body that can withstand thousands of repetitions while maintaining explosive power and structural integrity.
Running Assessment
Using high-speed video from multiple angles, we capture the nuances of your gait. We analyze key metrics like foot strike pattern, cadence, and knee positioning to help determine if there are ways to tweak your form for improved efficiency and pain reduction.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a precise technique for resetting your neuromuscular system. We use a very thin needle to target dysfunctional muscle tissue, stimulating a powerful healing response. This process releases deep muscular tension, increases blood flow, and calms irritated nerves. The result is a reduction in pain, improvement in mobility, helping to restore your body’s natural state of balance.
Manual Therapy & Manipulation
Manual therapy is a skilled, hands-on approach designed to restore optimal joint function. Through precise techniques, including gentle joint mobilizations and manipulations, we can break the cycle of stiffness and pain.
