Our Approach to Health and Well-Being
Everyone should have the opportunity to live a robust and healthy lifestyle as possible. You should be able to move without pain, perform to the best of your ability, and reduce risk and impact of stress or chronic disease.
All of these goals are within your reach, and we want to help you achieve them. Whether you are here to recover from an injury or to maximize your fitness, we want to get to the roots of sustainability.
One-on-One Appointments
In our 1:1 appointments, one of our key strengths is our ability to accurately assess and treat out many of the underlying issues leading to musculoskeletal complaints, faltering fitness, stress, and fatigue. We often succeed where visits to other facilities have failed. Our goal is to achieve better results in fewer visits.
Small Group & Membership
With our small group options, we offer the intimacy and experience of personal training in a small group environment, but with more variety and experienced instructors than boutique facilities focusing on one fitness modality can provide. Our memberships give you open access to a broad range of choices that support your lifestyle and provide a balanced approach to cross-training.
ONE-ON-ONE APPOINTMENTS
Our doctors of physical therapy use advanced orthopedic manual techniques, dry needling, neuromuscular re-education, and sports-specific functional training to help you get better, stronger, faster. They empower you to take an active role in setting and achieving your recovery goals.
Designated as OrthoTriage, this walk-in service provides immediate care for sprains, strains, and musculoskeletal pains. These low-cost, quick visits are direct-access with no pre-approval or other administrative insurance burdens. We can schedule an appointment within 24 hours (same day or next day) for a guaranteed appointment time. All treatments are provided by our Doctors of Physical Therapy and Board Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialists. While 80% of all cases resolve within 3 visits, rapid referral to advanced care and our network of collaborating Orthopedists will be made as necessary to best match patient circumstances and insurance needs.
Our Clinical Massage Therapists will help you discover how to relieve pain without drugs, reduce stress, improve performance, and enhance your overall health. Using a variety of modalities, our clinicians will listen to understand your needs and design a treatment plan based on our evaluation and your feedback.

Pilates emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness. The result is more intentional, integrated movement.
This groundbreaking method addresses the three-dimensional scoliotic spine using foam wedges to bring the muscle imbalances closer to a neutral position, blending in Pilates to build core control, elongate the spine, and improve posture through one-on-one sessions with our Scolio-Pilates specialist, as well as a home exercise program unique to your physical requirements.
Neurobiofeedback/Counseling is a form of brain training that interrupts patterns of electrical activity with feedback about how the brain organizes itself, helping you manage chronic pain, cope with the stress of chronic illness, address the emotional aspects of injury or rehab, move past a plateau in your progress toward your goals, and overcome factors that inhibit peak physical and mental performance.
Nutritional therapy addresses the whole person, YOU, from a bio-individual concept. Diet is not “all or nothing” – each meal or snack is an opportunity to nourish your body. With the right plan, food can greatly help anyone with digestive issues, difficulty gaining or losing weight, depression, anxiety, chronic disease, sleep issues, joint pain, chronic pain, skin issues, and more.

Noticing limitations in your backswing? Having more pain during and after rounds? Losing distance off the tee? These are areas that can be addressed with a musculoskeletal fitness exam performed by a physical therapist or a TPI certified personal trainer. The assessment will identify asymmetries, limitations, and dysfunctional movement patterns to determine how well you move through your swing. Identifying these asymmetries through the assessment allows for a more efficient intervention strategy geared to you instead of just a generalized program. The assessment will address:
- Core endurance
- Single leg balance (“Y” balance test)
- Mobility
- Stability
