Acute or chronic injury evaluation and movement analysis

Whether you get hurt exercising, playing sports, lifting weights, or have been battling an injury for a long time that limits you from exercising at your highest level, we not only treat the symptoms, but of equal importance, we treat the root cause.

Corrective exercise programming

A list of exercises that should address your injury and make sure you recover properly and become more resilient to injury

Manual therapy

A hands-on approach to recovering from an injury. Different injuries require different soft tissue approaches to optimize the healing process, including:

  • Graston

  • Active Release Technique

  • instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)

  • Cupping Therapy

  • Reflex Performance Reset (RPR)

  • Joint Mobilization

Passive recovery

Treatments you can perform on your own to set you up for a more successful recovery, including:

  • Normatec recovery unit (intermittent compression)

  • Theragun (percussive therapy)

  • Compex electrical stimulation/muscle reduction unit

  • Foam roller and stretching bands

Measured manual muscle testing

Assess force produced by various muscles and/or imbalances between muscle groups

Blood flow restriction training

Blood flow restriction is a great way to maintain muscle mass and induce a physiological change in your muscle tissue while not having to stressing your muscles too much by lifting heavy weights. This is great for post-surgery clients.

Taping

  • Athletic Taping

  • Kinesio Taping

  • Dynamic Taping

Free Bonus!

Each visit comes with a free 30 minute of passive recovery therapy session. This includes use of Theragun, Normatec Recovery System, Compex Electrical Stimulation Recovery/Muscle Reeducation Unit, foam rollers, and stretching bands.

Why should I use your services instead of physical therapy?

Traditional physical therapy has drawbacks due to insurance visit limitations, minimal individual time with the provider, and the necessity of two to three per a week ranging from a $25 to $75 copay per visit. With our model, you work one-on-one for the duration of the appointment and are given an at-home exercise program and the education to take control of your pain or injury, resulting in less weekly visits and a faster recovery! These longer visits can set you up for success, and each visit comes with a free 30 minutes of passive recovery work after your session.

Testimonials

Michael has been instrumental in my development as an athlete and maintaining my health. Without him, I wouldn’t have figured out how to manage my injuries and perform at a high level. Michael is a good communicator, and his compassion and character have driven him to be one of the best athletic trainers in the game. His ability to diagnose and communicate to players instills a confidence and trust that ultimately results and a sped up recovery process. Michael also goes a step further: he empowers his athletes to fix the roots of the problem and develop routines that ensure consistent health and high performance. I’m eternally grateful for all the work Michael has done for me, and he is a blessing to everyone that gets to work with him.

I first started seeing Michael regularly due to an ankle injury. His rehab protocol was challenging but effective, and after a couple of weeks, it felt stronger and more stable than before the injury. His attention to detail and ability to identify small deficits within my movements and muscles aided the recovery process. Seeing what he could help me do when coming from a deficit, I started doing prehab with him regularly, and because of all his various treatment and exercise recommendations, I feel like I'm performing better and more consistently during training and competition.
