How Do We Do It?

With expertise in human biomechanics and knowledge of injury rehab we determine your needs! 
First an extensive evaluation is performed.

The evaluation begins with a very thorough interview. Specific questions are asked  to understand how you got hurt, where you hurt. We will understand how your movements and activities are limited as a result of your injury or surgery. 

The examination is based on the interview. We will measure your strength, joint mobility, perform special tests and measurements, and gently palpate your injured area. The exam will be tailored to how sore you are or if you had surgery.

 

 

Second we will design a specific Rehab Program for your Pain, Range of Motion, Strength, and Function!

Your pain needs to lessen first!   We  use a variety of techniques to decrease your pain such as massage, joint manipulation, and modalities. Modalities consist of heat and cold, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and iontophresis

 

Range of motion is what needs to be restored next.  This is achieved by our hands on techniques and exercises we will teach you.

Third your strength will be restored. As a result of your injury and pain you have lost strength. Once the pain and motion are improved we can begin strengthening. As you gain new motion you will need strength to control that new motion.

  

 

Finally your function will be restored to an optimal level!

Now you can incorporate your new found pain-free range of motion, improved strength to perform the daily tasks you need and want to perform.
