Approach
Once an initial thorough examination is performed a diagnosis is made. From this, a treatment program can begin. After a few treatments, a more detailed model of the biomechanics of your body’s reaction to injury and stress becomes clear and together we can focus on your individual needs.
With this model we can identify achievable improvement goals and develop a strategy to work towards those goals. Goals may include fewer symptoms like decreased pain or increased functional activities and/or maximize athletic performance at all levels of competition.
Our GOAL with every patient is to provide a comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and focused treatment plan utilizing the most innovated tool to assist in your individualized rehabilitation. The priority is to have you return to enjoying your passions with peak performance.
