About Physiotherapy
Daily activity puts a significant stress on our muscles and eventually they atrophy. Physiotherapy assists in rehabilitating and strengthening tired and weakened muscles. Recover from an injury, relieve muscle pain, increase strength and flexibility and maximize your body’s potential with Physiotherapy.
Key Benefits:
- Relieve muscle tightness/pain
- Increase muscle strength/flexibility
- Increase joint mobility
- Rehabilitate an injury
- Reduce medication consumption
- Improve total body wellness
Physiotherapy revolves around understanding how the body functions, diagnosing the problem, and then utilizing the most effective treatment. Treatment may be hands on, educational, or may require you to do certain stretches or exercises on your own. Usually effective treatment is a combination of all three aspects. We will get you feeling healthier, more flexible, and stronger in no time!
We’ll help you get out of pain and prevent future injury so that you can get back to the things in life that matter most.

Additional Information
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is the use of evidence based techniques to treat musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions that limit your ability to complete everyday tasks. Often times the techniques are manual in nature, however a physical therapist also educates his patients in appropriate exercises and movement patterns that will improve strength, flexibility, recovery time, and pain. Some modalities can be used in conjunction with therapy to speed up the healing time.

More Services and Techniques
Dry Needling & Cupping Therapy
Dry Needling is one of the best ways to break the cycle of trigger point pain. Inserting an acupuncture-like needle into the trigger point relaxes the muscles, boosts blood flow, diminishes inflammation, and triggers a healing response. This treatment also improves nerve communication and activates the release of your body’s natural pain relievers.
Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine used to treat pain and inflammation. The cups are designed to create suction which promotes blood flow and can also help mobilize soft tissue when done with specialized movement patterns designed by our therapists. Cupping can also be used for massage which help reduce muscle tension.
Some conditions that can be treated:
- Migraines
- Trigger Points
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Pain
- Inflammation
- Soft tissue restriction
Blood Flow Restriction
BFR stands for Blood Flow Restriction training, a technique that involves using cuffs or bands to temporarily restrict blood flow to the muscles during exercise. This method has gained popularity due to several potential benefits:
- Rehabilitation: It’s used in physical therapy to aid in the recovery of injured muscles or joints, promoting muscle activation without placing excessive stress on healing tissues. Perfect for post-operative patients.
- Muscle Growth: BFR allows you to achieve muscle hypertrophy (growth) using lighter weights, which can be beneficial for those recovering from injury or unable to lift heavy weights.
- Strength Gains: It has been shown to increase muscle strength, potentially through mechanisms like increased recruitment of fast-twitch muscle fibers.
- Endurance Improvement: BFR can enhance endurance by improving muscle fiber recruitment and metabolic stress during exercise.
- Efficiency: Since BFR allows effective training with lighter loads, it can save time and reduce the risk of injury associated with heavier lifting.
Overall, BFR is a versatile training method that can benefit athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals undergoing rehabilitation alike. Proper technique and guidance from a trained professional are essential to ensure safety and maximize benefits.
Normatec Boots
Normatec boots are a type of recovery technology that utilizes pneumatic compression to aid in muscle recovery. Here are some benefits of Normatec boots:
- Enhanced Circulation: The boots use sequential compression to help improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage in the legs. This can reduce swelling and inflammation, promoting faster recovery after intense workouts or competitions.
- Muscle Recovery: By enhancing circulation, Normatec boots facilitate the removal of metabolic waste products such as lactic acid from muscles. This accelerates muscle recovery and reduces soreness.
- Reduced Muscle Stiffness: Regular use of Normatec boots can help decrease muscle stiffness and tightness, improving overall flexibility and range of motion.
- Performance Enhancement: Athletes often use Normatec boots as part of their recovery regimen to maintain peak performance levels by reducing fatigue and improving muscle readiness for subsequent training sessions or events.
- Injury Prevention: By promoting better circulation and reducing muscle fatigue, Normatec boots may also help prevent overuse injuries associated with repetitive training.
Overall, Normatec boots are popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for their ability to enhance recovery, improve circulation, and support muscle health, contributing to better overall performance and well-being.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is an FDA cleared modality that reduces inflammation and ultimately results in pain reduction. Laser Therapy is effective in treating acute pain, chronic conditions and post-op pain.
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are administered in 5 to 10 minutes. Typically patients see results after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy utilizes your body’s own healing powers by stimulating cellular activity. Despite fast treatment times, laser therapy treatments initiate a healing process that continues to actively reduce inflammation for up 24 hours after treatment.
