Running Analysis
Running analysis is a comprehensive assessment of many factors that can impact an individual’s running performance. Therapists examine strength, range of motion, alignment, and running biomechanics to develop an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each runner. Our therapists observe running mechanics using smartphones to analyze joint angles to determine which factors contribute to pain or predispose athletes to injury.
Injury Screening
Injury screening involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s movement abilities across all ages to identify risk factors that predispose them to injury. Using evidence-based systems like the Functional Movement screen, the Selective Functional Movement Assessment, and motion analysis via video recordings, the physical therapist is able to objectively measure an individual’s risk for injury. The therapist will then work with the patient to design a specific plan of care that will address these risk factors in order to minimize risk of injury.
Bike Fit Assessment
The physical therapists will perform a comprehensive assessment including both a bike position analysis and a physical examination to determine issues that may increase risk for injury or movement inefficiency. This custom assessment will benefit both the elite and recreational cyclist. Recommendations for appropriate fit and equipment will be provided, as well as a home exercise program based upon the findings of the individualized assessment.
Injury Prevention
Physical Therapists are movement specialists that can treat and prevent injuries. As a specialist in injury prevention, the Physical Therapist is trained to evaluate and examine how a patient moves, to detect deficits in strength and flexibility, and screen for movement impairments that can cause abnormal stresses on the body. The Physical Therapist can advise the patient on a maintenance program to prevent overuse injuries, provide return to sport guidelines, and teaches activity modifications and recommendations to avoid compensatory patterns.
Custom Orthotics
Physical Therapists are experts in movement and musculoskeletal function and some are uniquely trained to be seen for personalized orthotics. Orthotics are individually shaped and fit insoles used in conjunction with a full musculoskeletal evaluation of movement. The Physical Therapist will also consider your activity level, injuries, pain complaints, and personal goals to ensure a proper fit. Orthotics can help improve proper foot alignment and support which can aid in injury prevention and resolution of current injuries.

It is an exercise-based program primarily designed to reduce vertigo and dizziness, and/or reduce imbalance and fall risk, as well as address any secondary impairments that are a consequence of the vestibular disorder.
Kinesio Taping
The Kinesio Taping® Method is a therapeutic taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion or limiting participation in activities. There are also techniques to reduce acute edema and ecchymosis. Latex free, water resistant and wearable for up to 5 days, Kinesio tape is safe for all ages.

MFD utilizes negative pressure tools (cups) applied to the target area to addresses musculoskeletal impairments by utilizing a decompressive effect proved by the cups to improve fascial gliding, mobility, circulation, and decrease muscle tension. When the cups are applied with movement it can further help address movement impairments and improve the mobility of these structures.
