Have you ever wondered why some professional athletes are never quite the same after an injury and others are as good as ever? We believe it has everything to do with rehab. The athlete that returned to greatness was not just riding a bike, using machines, or getting in a pool. They had one on one care with manually resisted exercise. It is a process that requires observation, know-how and skill. The benefits of Manual Therapy aren’t just for professional athletes, the same skills can be used to get you back to your normal life. It is not uncommon for patients to come to our clinic after completing therapy somewhere else because they are still having problems. They are surprised that other clinics didn’t even look at the overall health of their surgical joint and suggested that it would work itself out in a year. We believe that therapists can and should do better . In addition to working with your doctor to protect the surgical area, every rehabilitation program should be individualized and have the and address

1. Coordination /connection of surgical area to core muscles

2. Alignment of surrounding joints/ to eliminate unnecessary stress and torque on the surgical site

3. Scar tissue release

4. Body awareness / connection of surgical site to the brain

5. Identifying mechanical issues that lead to the initial injury
