We focus and strive to help athletes prevent injury and improve performance of their desired sport.

Massage Therapy

A licensed massage therapist will be joining our team soon in conjunction with our physical therapy services if warranted and/or sought out by the patient.
 

Taping

In some cases, extra support is needed at the joint level or muscular level. Taping provides extra stability for areas we are currently strengthening or rehabbing.

Trigger Point Release

Trigger point release (TPR) is an effective way to relax banded, tight musculature that will ultimately result in improved motor function and decreased pain.

Joint Mobilization

Mobilizing joints improve overall flexibility and mobility, as well as improves circulation to a particular joint which is beneficial for patient function.
