Services

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy services combine manual techniques with targeted exercises to treat musculoskeletal conditions. We specialize in treating sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain conditions through individualized treatment plans. Our approach focuses on restoring mobility and preventing future injuries.

BFR Training

BFR training uses controlled blood flow to build muscle strength at lower weights. This technique helps maintain muscle mass during recovery while reducing joint stress. Our certified specialists use medical-grade equipment for safe, effective muscle preservation.

Dry Needling

This technique targets muscle trigger points to relieve chronic pain and tension. Dry needling improves range of motion by releasing tight muscle bands. It effectively treats headaches, arthritis pain, and sports-related muscle injuries through targeted interventions.

Sports Rehabilitation

Customized programs help athletes recover from sports injuries while maintaining fitness. We address common issues like knee pain, shoulder injuries, and running-related conditions. Our approach combines strength training with sport-specific movement patterns for optimal recovery.

Pain Management

We address chronic pain through multimodal approaches including manual therapy, dry needling, and movement retraining. Our focus is on reducing medication dependence while improving daily function. Treatment plans target conditions like arthritis, back pain, and postural imbalances.

I was in Army ROTC at Florida State University (about to graduate and commission) this past spring when I started having hip pain that prohibited me from exercising and even walking to class, which debilitated my training. I noticed it during my daily run when I had to fall out, and I called to Body Mechanix that morning and Dr. Brandon saw me that same day. I had a 12 mile ruck (a 12 mile hike with a 40 pound bag) and a physical fitness test coming up and Dr. Brandon was able to pin point the origin of my pain within the second session. Although I wasnt fully healed for the ruck (considering

A couple of years ago I sprained my knee while training. My knee would buckle if I tried to bear weight on it, or do any kind of twisting motion. I waited 3 months before seeking any help. I was hoping that time would help heal it, and it did, but I noticed I needed something more. Because of the sprain I couldnt train or teach properly and being a Martial Arts business owner this was really bad.
Going to Dr. Alkire was the best decision. He helped me understand why I had sprained my knee in the first place, and where my weaknesses are. As an athlete this kind of information is invaluable.

Before going to therapy I could barely stay seated in the same position for too long, including driving for more than 2 hours straight. I had to bare several years of pain until my first appointment, my lower back pain was less intense. The therapy provided me strengthening exercises, instead of typical medication, to ease my pain. Highly recommended, in a few session I was able to be back to normal from my lower back injury.

This is a great place!!! I went here after having some knee pain while training martial arts. Dr. Alkire was tremendously helpful in immediately diagnosing my issue (hip instability), and then devising a plan of care to correct first the muscular imbalance, and then the neurological implementation, explaining every step along the way! He watched my movements and helped correct any poor form on my part, as well as gave me pointers on what to emphasize in the movement and what specifically to avoid. I can not recommend this place enough!!!
