ELDOA Method
ELDOA uses specific postures to create joint space and reduce pain. This technique improves spinal alignment and mobility for conditions like sciatica, disc degeneration, and sports injuries. Clients learn self-corrective exercises for long-term structural balance.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Custom programs restore function after sports injuries using manual therapy, strength training, and proprioception exercises. We specialize in ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and post-surgical recovery for athletes at all levels.
Manual Therapy
Our therapists use joint mobilization and soft tissue techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility. This includes articular pumping for joint lubrication and myofascial release to address connective tissue restrictions.
Myofascial Stretching
Targeted stretches improve fascial mobility and muscle function. This technique addresses restrictions causing chronic pain or limited range of motion by focusing on the body's interconnected fascial network.
Postural Correction
We analyze and correct postural imbalances using global postural stretching and ELDOA techniques. This prevents recurring injuries and alleviates pain caused by poor alignment in the spine and joints.

After 8 years of suffering with extreme daily pain and sleepless nights due to intense nerve pain radiating down my neck and arms, after countless visits to neurologists, rheumatologists, and other doctors, after MRIs, nerve blockers, and steroids, I FINALLY found relief from the methods employed by Terry after just 4 weeks of treatment. The Eldoa method and exercises/stretches that Terry taught me to do at home, on my own time, specifically targeted problem areas that I had been dealing with for years. I honestly thought this would be a life long problem for me but after just weeks of treatment

I've been treating with Terry for 5 years. When I first came to Terry I had been experiencing debilitating back pain from avid golfing. Not only has Terry helped alleviate my pain thru pumping of the spine and neck, he has helped build a training program to get stronger and play better golf. Finally, he has also guided me in the practice of Eldoa to help give me the tools necessary to prevent injury in the future. He is without question the best PT I have ever treated with.

Several months ago, I severely tore my Medial Meniscus playing basketball, and went to see several doctors and they all recommended surgery. A friend of mine recommended Terry, and after an initial consultation, Terry recommended that I try PT. At first I was circumspect, but after consulting with a doctor who was opened to PT, I decided to give it a shot. After extensive PT, which included a customized program with targeted exercises, rehab, and hard work, I was able to resume all activities, including basketball. Terry is a genius!

About 2 years ago I came to Terry with a PT script for a strained ankle. It wasn't long before he was treating the rest of my annoying ailments from many years of playing sports and working out. I had issues with my back, neck, hip, shoulder, elbow - this is an embarrassing list. Bottom line - Terry has transformed the way I exercise, how I stretch and what is necessary for me to relieve the pain that comes with playing too much golf or tennis. He is passionate about what he does, extremely knowledgeable and always encouraging. My two college athlete sons have worked with Terry for their injuries

My son who is a nationally ranked tennis player, has been experiencing lower back pain and traveling pain down his leg. After seeing numerous doctors with no consistent diagnosis and being send to several physical therapists, who offered little to no help with the traditional rehab exercises, I was referred to Terry by a tennis coach. Terry was very patient and thorough in his assessment of what was to be expected during the course of the treatment. From the initial visit my sons symptoms were reduced significantly and he was given an ELDOA based home exercise program on video to maintain the

I am a collegiate tennis player from the University of Louisville. I started working with Terry after I had surgery on my elbow about 2 years ago and have worked with him every since. He has helped me so much, from working through injuries to correcting imbalances in my body and making me strong again. He always makes sure I fully understand any strengthening/stretches/Eldoas he gives me and takes videos of the proper technique so I can have it with me when I go back to school. He is flexible and is always willing to work with me whenever I need it. I Don't know if I would be in one piece without

I have been seeing Terry for several months now, after experiencing years of post pregnancy lower back pain and sciatica issues. The Eldoa stretches and strengthening moves Terry has helped me incorporate into my everyday life have dramatically improved my condition. Terry is the best!
