At the movement mechanics we believe that pain is a symptom, and treat it as such. In your best healthy state, you won't experience pain, and we try to treat you in a way that will allow you to live pain free.
Following a thorough assessment, an individual treatment plan is developed which includes specific exercise(s) and exercise progressions with the intention of restoration and/or fortification of physical function.
Rehabilitation encompasses:
- Return to work - Return to sport - Pre and post operative care programs
Injury Risk Mitigation
Ongoing assessments and treatment to maintain optimal phsyical function - both for day-to-day activites and in sport.
functional range conditioning
Developed by world-renowned musculoskeletal expert Dr. Andreo Spina, Functional Range Conditioning® is an inclusive joint training system based in scientific principals and research.
There are 3 primary interrelated objectives when training using FRC® system: Mobility development, joint strength and Body control. Numerous professional sports teams have incorporated FRC to mitigate injury risk and enhance performance.
functional range Assessment
FRA is a measurement based assessment system that provides objective measures of an athletes movement capacity for each and every articulation. Then training inputs (FRC®) are able to be directed at the individual’s specific deficits.
Athletic Movement assessment
A system derived of various movement protocols that simulate numerous athletic motions.
The protocols can be used to identify and qualify optimal and suboptimal movement patterns which in turn guide clinical and performance directives.
The assessment is designed to account for variables (foot and core) that have influence on the primary movement patterns (upper and lower extremity).
Utilizes five stainless steel instruments to treat a variety of tissue extensibility dysfunctions including scarring and fibrosis, fascial tension and densification, neural tension, muscle hypertonicity, neurological restrictions and trigger points. Treatment will allow for improved range of motion and movement patterns.
Manual Therapy
Uses hands on palpation and observation to assess neural tension and associated dysfunction.
Fast or slow hands on manipulative procedures are then used to diminish the dysfunctions, and diminish inflammation.
clinic & athletic taping
Includes the use of a variety of different tapes to aid in the treatment of functional (postural support/retraining) and clinical conditions (McKenzie protocol taping for disc herniation or sciatica patients). Various taping methods are used over muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints for further support during sport. This can help diminish injury as it offers structured support and increased proprioceptive feedback to muscles, ligaments and joints.
