Strength & Conditioning Programs

Sports performance conditioning programs start with a full assessment and then the therapist creates a program that is specific to the sport involved. These sports could be running, wrestling, mountain biking, soccer, swimming, speed skating and much more. There would be scheduled follow-ups with the therapist to ensure that form and technique are being developed and things are progressing as needed. These programs are great for specifically improving performance in athletic competition and daily life. An equally important part is teaching proper form for the various exercises so everything is done in a safe and efficient manner. Strength coaches also help athletes with injury prevention and proper mechanics within their sports performances.

Manual Therapy

If you are experiencing increased pain and stiffening in any of your joints and muscles, manual therapy is often helpful. Patients seek out this type of physiotherapy for a variety of mobility issues.

Acupuncture

For example, you may be finding it difficult to get up from a sitting or lying position, as well as bending over, without back pain and stiffness. You may also find that your neck or shoulders “freeze” and give you pain when you pursue everyday actions such as reaching for items, or driving. In fact, debilitating pain and stiffness in muscles and joints can happen virtually anywhere on your body.

Therapeutic Exerice

Muscle tightness is something of a vicious cycle. It both causes pain on its own, and further results in other parts of the body tensing up in anticipation of that pain. Many patients find acupuncturists helpful for both decreasing pain and relaxing the body overall.

Custom Knee Braces

Acupuncturists gently insert needles both at the place of stiffness, and at distant parts of the body that control different pathways to healing — such as to the glandular system.

Custom Foor Orthotics
