REHAB
Thorough history / assessment, manual therapy, fascia techniques, progressive loading, and massage.
Are you dealing with a nagging chronic injury that hasn't resolved on it's own? Have you just had a damaging tumble or fall? Do you have a surgery date, and are looking to proactively maximize your recovery, both before and after going under the knife?
We will take an active and detail oriented approach to therapy, every time. No cookie cutter plans are handed out. Don't ask what you will be doing at your next appointment. One can't know that until you arrive, and we know where your starting line is, on that day.
PREVENTION

Are you looking ahead to maintain your quality of life years? Did you hurt yourself in the gym from repetitions with questionable form? Have you always wanted to get into strength training, but don't know where to start?
Our bodies depreciate more from lack of use than lack of youth. With proper guidance and intelligent demand alterations, we can help maintain your health, and minimize risk of injury.
PERFORMANCE
Movement training, program design, nutrition guidance, and weight management.
