TECHNIQUES USED
Functional movement is the ability to move your body with proper muscle and joint function, effortlessly and without pain. Learning how to be biomechanically efficient as you move through life—whether it’s for sports, fitness, or daily activities— is a critical part of your overall health and well-being. Our physical therapists:
- Assess movement patterns
- Identify problems with posture and body mechanics
- Help prevent injury and promote pain-free, healthy movement through a series of corrective exercises that increase range of motion and eliminate muscle imbalances
Our physical therapists are certified in:
- FMS: Functional Movement Systems
- SFMA: Selective Functional Movement Systems
- TPI: Titleist Performance Institute—the world’s leading educational organization dedicated to how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. Allows golfers to build endurance and play the game at their highest level without causing injury.
- Graston Technique®: A trademarked therapeutic method for diagnosing and treating disorders of the skeletal muscles and related connective tissue
This hands-on therapy is commonly used to treat strains, sprains, contusions, tendonitis, bursitis, and stress injuries. Physical therapists may use gentle pressure, stretching, or thermal therapy (hot and cold) to:
- Relax tense, sore muscles by increasing blood circulation
- Reduce muscle spasms and relieve pain
- Maximize range of motion by breaking down scar tissue and tight fibrous tissue
Techniques include:
Active Release Technique (ART): A patented technique that treats damaged soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia (fibrous tissue around a muscle or organ), and nerves
HAWK Grip Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM): A device that helps with soft tissue mobilization
For conditions causing acute and chronic pain, physical therapists often use radial shockwave therapy, myofascial release (MFR), electrical stimulation, and ultrasound. These gentle, pain-free therapies help:
- Increase blood flow
- Relax tight tissues
- Break down scar tissue
- Reduce inflammation
- Relax muscle spasms
- Ease tendon problems
- Increase mobility
- Decrease pain
