Therapeutic Exercise

Observation of specific lifestyle movement patterns that contribute to your symptoms or limitations. This could include anything from posture, ergonomics, sleeping, walking, reaching, to throwing a baseball. No matter what may be limiting you, the goal is to find the movement habits that continue to injure the involved tissue.

  • Faulty Biomechanics

  • Altered Movement Patterns

  • Pathological Movement Patterns

  • Assisted Technology (i.e. apps, cameras, lasers)

Movement Analysis Physical Therapy

Specific movement retraining based on the principles of normal biomechanics and motor control. In other words, we teach you to move or posture yourself in ways to prevent the tissue from further or continued injury. The reason many injuries become chronic is because this is rarely addressed. We use taping, bracing, banding, etc. to facilitate new movement strategies or protect injured tissue.

  • Facilitation of New Movement

  • Verbal, Manual, Visual Cueing

  • Resisted/Assisted Cueing

  • Internal/External Cueing
