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.

Our golf screening process has been tested on professional and recreational golfers.

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

Looking for something to benefit you in a work environment? If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer, seated for extended periods of time, or just experiencing pain, our Ergonomics Assessment can help. We’ll identify the source of any discomfort, and work with you to make change.

Need immediate access to musculoskeletal First Aid?  Please call anytime during clinic physical therapy hours for an OrthoTriage Clinic visit.  We can get you in same day or next day as our physical therapists are available.
