What we do

Services

Rehabilitation and wellness care built around one idea: relieve the pain, then correct what caused it.

Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Individualized outpatient rehabilitation for injuries, post-operative recovery, and chronic orthopedic pain.

Every plan of care starts with a thorough evaluation of how you actually move. From there we build a progressive program of hands-on treatment and targeted exercise designed to restore strength, mobility, and confidence in the affected area, and to address what allowed the problem to develop.

Manual Therapy

Skilled hands-on techniques that release restricted tissue and restore normal joint mechanics.

Joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and fascial techniques are used to address the restrictions that limit motion and drive pain. Manual therapy is rarely the whole answer on its own, so it is paired with corrective exercise that keeps the gains you make on the table.

Integrative Dry Needling

A precise technique for calming overactive muscle tissue and relieving stubborn trigger points.

Integrative Dry Needling uses fine filament needles to treat neuromuscular pain and dysfunction at its source. It is especially effective for persistent muscular tightness and trigger points that have not responded to other approaches. Performed by a CIDN-certified clinician.

Sports Medicine

Injury care, return-to-play guidance, and performance work for athletes of every age.

From youth athletes through adult competitors, we treat the injury in front of us and then look upstream at the mechanics that produced it. The goal is a safe, well-paced return to sport with a lower risk of the same injury happening again.

Corrective Exercise

Targeted programming that resolves the muscular imbalances behind recurring pain.

Pain often shows up far from its actual cause. Corrective exercise addresses the postural and movement imbalances (the overworked muscles, the ones that stopped firing), so the body can distribute load the way it was designed to.

Running & Orthotic Intervention

Gait assessment and orthotic support for runners and anyone on their feet all day.

A specialty interest of the practice. We evaluate gait and foot mechanics, then use a combination of manual treatment, corrective exercise, and orthotic intervention where appropriate to keep you running comfortably and consistently.

Work & Industrial Injury

Rehabilitation for the "industrial athlete": getting you back to work and back to life.

Physically demanding jobs place athletic loads on the body without any of the conditioning. We treat work-related injuries with the same rigor as sports injuries, focusing on the strength and mechanics your specific job actually requires.

Clinical Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage and neuromuscular re-education delivered with clinical intent.

Myofascial release, deep tissue, sports massage, and neuromuscular re-education, applied as part of a treatment plan rather than as a standalone luxury. Useful for relaxing overstressed tissue and reactivating muscle that has gone quiet.

How care works

What to expect

  1. 01

    Evaluation

    A thorough assessment of your history, your symptoms, and, critically, how you actually move. We look upstream and downstream from where it hurts.

  2. 02

    Hands-on treatment

    Manual therapy, dry needling, and soft tissue work aimed at the restrictions and trigger points driving your symptoms. This is where relief starts.

  3. 03

    Corrective programming

    A targeted exercise plan that rebalances what the evaluation uncovered, so the improvement holds once treatment ends.

  4. 04

    Return to life

    A graded return to your sport, your job, or simply your day, with the knowledge and the plan to lower the risk of it happening again.

Common questions

Before your first visit

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

For physical therapy, yes. We ask for a physician referral before we evaluate and treat, and most insurance plans require one as well. Our wellness and massage services do not require a referral and can be booked directly. If you are not sure which one you need, call us and we will point you the right way.

What should I bring and wear?

Bring your photo ID, insurance card, and any imaging or physician notes related to your condition. Wear comfortable clothing that lets us access and observe the area we are treating. Athletic shorts and a t-shirt work well for most visits.

How long is an appointment?

Your initial evaluation is 75 minutes, which gives us time to assess thoroughly and start treatment on the same visit. Follow-up appointments are 45 minutes.

What happens if I miss an appointment?

We ask for at least 24 hours notice to change or cancel an appointment. Insurance cannot be billed for a missed visit, so an appointment cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, or missed without notice, is billed to you directly at the rate for that service.

Illness, weather, and emergencies happen. Tell us as soon as you are able and we are glad to waive the fee where the circumstances warrant it. Repeated missed appointments affect the care we are able to provide, both to you and to patients waiting for that time, and may result in discharge from the practice.

Does dry needling hurt?

Most patients describe a brief cramp or twitch rather than sharp pain. The needles are very fine, much thinner than those used for injections. Some muscle soreness for a day afterward is normal and usually a good sign.
