Services
Functional Dry Needling
Functional dry needling targets muscle dysfunction using fine filiform needles to release trigger points. This evidence-based technique reduces pain and improves mobility by eliciting local twitch responses. Patients often experience immediate relief from chronic conditions like back pain, headaches, and tendinopathies. Our specialists combine needling with movement correction strategies for lasting results.
Injury Prevention Physical
Our Injury Prevention PhysicalSM uses Functional Movement Screens to identify movement asymmetries and inefficiencies. This assessment helps reduce injury risk by 80% compared to traditional methods. The $95 evaluation includes personalized corrective exercises to improve athletic performance and prevent musculoskeletal injuries through targeted movement pattern correction.
Medical Golf Evaluation
This system combines video swing analysis with functional movement assessments to optimize golf performance. Using motion capture technology, we identify physical limitations affecting swing mechanics. The program includes corrective strategies to enhance consistency while reducing injury risk, tailored for both amateur and professional golfers seeking measurable performance improvements.
Restorative Pilates
Restorative Pilates focuses on correcting dysfunctional movement patterns through core stability and controlled exercises. Our BASI-certified instructors provide one-on-one sessions that improve flexibility, strength, and posture. This specialized approach benefits athletes and individuals recovering from injuries by addressing movement imbalances that contribute to chronic pain or limited mobility.
Telehealth PT
HIPAA-compliant virtual physical therapy sessions offer remote access to expert care. Through video consultations, therapists guide patients through posture assessments, corrective exercises, and pain management techniques. This service includes personalized video demonstrations and neuroscience-based pain education, making rehabilitation accessible for patients unable to attend in-person appointments.

Report
Scott is a great PT. He has been working with me on correcting some hip pain as well as getting me to a better state of movement and mobility. He is knowledgeable, mindful, and focused on getting me feeling and moving better. I have been very satisfied with my time with him. Thank you.
