Most of us take in our cars for regular oil changes. We may even get our teeth cleaned regularly, but what are we doing to tune before we start  pounding the pavement? That’s exactly what a “pre-hab” visit can do for you. With one evaluation, clients now have a way to increase their performance and prevent injuries before they have a chance to develop.  By slow motion analyzing a clients functional movements and running any imbalances in muscle strength and compensations can be detected.

The beauty of a great therapist is that they see the problem before it manifests. They study the entire biomechanical chain and analyze potential issues before they become an injury.

A good example would be Janet, who comes into the office for knee pain. She has been treated other places with ultrasound, electrical stimulation, ice and some exercises. She has not had much success and becomes frustrated and resorts to using a knee brace and over the counter drugs for the problem. Upon evaluating her  whole biomechanics chain, We were able to find imbalance in one of her hips, which is where the source of the problem is located, even though she has no hip pain. Injuries need to be completely examined to locate the source of the injury, not just where the pain is. Many will keep chasing pain their whole life because they have not had anyone look at them from this perspective.
