Following a thorough assessment, your physical therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific concern(s). Interventions may include one or more of the following: targeted exercises/stretches, manual techniques, dry needling, and education.

Some of the many conditions that can benefit from physical therapy:
✓ Trigger Points (muscle knots)
✓ TMJ
✓ Shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and frozen shoulder
✓ Knee pain including meniscus injuries & ACL recovery
✓ Hip pain, labral issues, and post-joint replacement rehab
✓ Ankle sprains, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis
✓ Tendonitis and repetitive strain injuries (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
✓ Post-surgical recovery (joint replacements, orthopedic procedures)
✓ Balance disorders and fall-risk prevention
✓ Sports injuries and movement inefficiencies
Dry needling is a clinical technique that uses thin, sterile needles to relax tight muscles/ trigger points, improve blood flow, promote tissue healing, and reduce pain. It can also be used to treat some tendon and nerve conditions. Dry needling works by modulating inflammation, improving blood flow, reorganizing collagen, reducing muscle tension, and various neurochemical effects.
When physical therapy, massage, and dry needling are combined, they create a comprehensive, whole-body approach to healing and recovery. Together, these therapies work synergistically to reduce pain, restore movement, and create longer-lasting results by treating both the symptoms and the underlying causes of dysfunction.
