Physical Therapy Services
Overuse injuries
Addressing injuries resulting from repetitive movements or overtraining, such as tendonitis, stress fractures, or bursitis.
Movement dysfunctions
Assessing and addressing movement impairments or compensatory patterns that may contribute to injury risk or limit performance.
Balance and proprioception training
Implementing exercises and interventions to improve balance, coordination, and proprioceptive awareness, reducing the risk of falls and enhancing athletic performance.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Guiding patients through the recovery process following surgical procedures, such as ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, or joint replacement surgeries.
Prehabilitation
Proactively addressing movement dysfunctions, muscle imbalances, and mobility restrictions to reduce the risk of future injuries and optimize performance.
Sports-specific rehabilitation
Tailoring treatment plans to address the unique demands of various sports and athletic activities, including CrossFit, to facilitate safe return to sport and enhance performance.
Physical Therapy
During outpatient physical therapy, patients work with licensed physical therapists who specialize in various techniques to address musculoskeletal impairments. Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs and may include exercises, manual therapy, education on injury prevention, and guidance on improving functional abilities. The goals of outpatient physical therapy are to reduce pain, improve mobility, restore strength and function, prevent disability, and enhance overall quality of life. Treatment frequency and duration vary depending on the nature and severity of the condition being addressed, as well as the individual's response to therapy.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that is sometimes utilized within the practice of physical therapy. It involves the use of cups, typically made of plastic, which are placed on the skin to create suction. The suction I use is created by a vacuum pump. During a cupping session, the cups are applied to specific areas of the body, often along muscles or joints that are tight, painful, or restricted in movement. The suction created by the cups draws the skin and underlying tissue upward into the cup, which may help to increase blood flow to the area, promote relaxation of muscles, and release tension.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique used in physical therapy that involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points within muscles, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves. The aim is to stimulate these points to release tension, alleviate pain, and improve range of motion. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling targets trigger points directly associated with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It's often used alongside other physical therapy interventions to address conditions such as muscle tightness, chronic pain, and movement impairments.
Injury prevention education
Providing education on proper technique, warm-up routines, mobility exercises, and injury prevention strategies to help athletes minimize the risk of injury and optimize performance in their training and competition.
Crossfit/Athlete Performance
Physical therapy can enhance exercise performance by optimizing biomechanics, improving movement patterns, increasing strength and flexibility, and addressing any underlying musculoskeletal imbalances or limitations. Physical therapists assess individual movement mechanics and develop personalized exercise programs to address specific weaknesses, imbalances, or dysfunctions that may be hindering performance. These programs often include targeted exercises to improve strength, flexibility, coordination, and proprioception, as well as techniques to enhance mobility and joint stability. Additionally, physical therapists provide education on proper form, injury prevention strategies, and performance optimization techniques to help individuals achieve their exercise goals safely and effectively. By addressing underlying issues and optimizing movement mechanics, physical therapy can significantly enhance exercise performance and reduce the risk of injury.
