Cryotherapy, which means “cold therapy,” is a technique in which the body is exposed to extreme cold temperatures for several minutes. Cryotherapy aids in reducing pain and inflammation while enhancing performance and recovery. Our Mecotec chamber is fully enclosed and nitrogen-free to provide the safest and most effective cryotherapy experience.

Physical therapists utilize trigger point dry needling to reduce myofascial pain secondary to trigger points. Trigger points are commonly known as “knots” or areas of soft tissue restrictions that are tender to touch and can cause pain in the surrounding areas (referred pain). A very thin needle is pushed through the skin into the trigger point to release the tight muscle bands causing the trigger point and decrease the associated pain.

Also known as Myofascial Decompression, cupping is a form of soft tissue mobilization that creates suction on the skin using a silicone or plastic cup. Cupping is one of the only treatments that works to lift “the skin” rather than applying deep pressure. Through this, cupping brings increased blood flow to the body part. In turn, this decreases muscle tightness leading to a decrease in overall pain.

Percussion Therapy involves using a handheld device to target specific areas with gentle pulses of pressure. The various pulse of pressure allows us to decrease muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions, increase blood flow and improve circulation, and improve overall range of motion. We are able to utilize percussion therapy on all of our patients.

The Normatec Recovery System provides dynamic compression using their patented pulse technology to help enhance blood flow and aid in recovery. This system uses compressed air to massage limbs, mobilize fluid, and ultimately speed up the recovery process.  Often, ice will be used in combination with the Normatec system.

A form of manual therapy that uses stainless-steel handheld instruments with a specialized form of massage. Providers are able to use the Graston Technique to identify and break up areas of scar tissue, and promote a better healing environment for the injured soft tissue.

A therapeutic taping method using a uniquely designed elastic tape. This modality enhances the function of many different tissues and physiologic systems. It can be applied and worn for extended periods with continued therapeutic benefit between clinical visits.
