Comprehensive Physical Evaluation
The foundation of all effective treatment begins with a thorough assessment. We perform detailed evaluation of your:
- Range of motion and flexibility
- Strength deficits and imbalances
- Movement patterns and mechanics
- Functional limitations specific to your sport
- Whole-body kinetic chain relationships
Running Gait Analysis
Specialized video analysis of your running mechanics to identify inefficiencies and injury risk factors. We assess:
- Striking pattern and foot contact
- Cadence and stride length optimization
- Lower extremity alignment
- Core stability during running
- Braking forces and impact management
Dry Needling / Trigger Point Therapy
An advanced technique using single-needle insertion to release muscle trigger points and improve tissue quality. Benefits include:
- Immediate improvement in tissue extensibility
- Reduction in muscle tension and pain
- Improved blood flow to affected tissues
- Enhanced range of motion
- Often provides results in 1-3 sessions
Manual Therapy & Mobilization
Hands-on techniques combined with instrument-assisted methods to improve joint mobility and soft tissue quality:
- Joint mobilizations at various grades
- Soft tissue mobilization techniques
- Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
- Myofascial release
- Active and passive stretching protocols
Custom Exercise Programming
Individualized strength and mobility programs that progress with your recovery. We emphasize:
- Progressive overload and periodization
- Sport-specific movement patterns
- Bi-weekly program updates
- Clear progression criteria
- Return-to-sport integration protocols
Sport-Specific Performance Training
Advanced training designed to optimize athletic performance and build resilience. Tailored for:
- Running athletes - efficiency and injury prevention
- Throwing athletes - shoulder stability and velocity
