 Our sport mobility screening evaluates an athlete’s movement patterns, flexibility, strength, and stability to identify potential limitations or imbalances. By assessing key areas such as joint mobility, muscle function, and movement efficiency, we can pinpoint areas for improvement, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance .

Your screening provides:

• Personalized insights on mobility strengths and weaknesses
• Injury prevention strategies tailored to the athlete’s needs
• Movement optimization techniques to improve efficiency and agility
• Recommendations for targeted exercises, a home exercise program, or therapy to enhance athletic performance

Most common sports screenings include:

• Lacrosse
• Soccer
• Football
• Basketball
• Tennis
• Baseball
• Golf

• Initial Assessment: This involves identifying the severity, nature, and cause of the injury. It may include:
  • On-site evaluations (e.g., during a game or event).
  • Detailed off-site assessments to design a rehabilitation plan.
• Systematic Approach:
  • Differentiating between normal and pathological tissues.
  • Using special tests to identify specific injuries.
• Continuous Monitoring:
  • Regular follow-ups to adjust the rehabilitation plan based on progress.

• Goal Setting:
  • Establishing short-term and long-term goals based on the injury's severity and the individual's needs.
• Periodization:
  • Dividing the program into phases to manage intensity and volume effectively.
  • Types include linear, undulating, and blocked periodization, each tailored to specific recovery and performance goals.
• Customized Exercises:
  • Incorporating strength, flexibility, and functional training.
  • Adjusting exercises to match the recovery stage and prevent overtraining.
• Interdisciplinary Approach:
  • Collaborating with physical therapists, chiropractors, and medical professionals for comprehensive care.

Common benefits that cupping therapy provides include:

• Pain Relief: Helps with muscle tension, back pain, and headaches.
• Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the treated area.
• Relaxation: Provides a calming effect similar to deep-tissue massage.

IASTM involves using ergonomically designed tools, often made of stainless steel, to apply pressure to muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. These tools help break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, promoting healing and restoring normal tissue function.

• Controlled Microtrauma: The tools create microtrauma in the affected tissues, stimulating a local inflammatory response. This encourages the body to reabsorb excessive scar tissue and remodel the soft tissue structures.
• Improved Circulation: The technique increases blood flow to the treated area, enhancing oxygenation and nutrient delivery.
• Enhanced Mobility: By loosening tight muscles and fascia, IASTM improves flexibility and range of motion.

• Reduces pain and inflammation.
• Restores normal tissue texture and function.
• Prevents chronic stiffness and re-injury.

IASTM is used for conditions like:

• Tendinitis (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles).
• Plantar fasciitis.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Muscle strains and ligament sprains.

Therapeutic modalities refer to various techniques and tools used in injury rehabilitation and mental health to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve overall well-being. Here's a brief overview of a few modalities that we have seen great results with:

• Heat Therapy:
  • Increases blood flow and relaxes muscles.
  • Commonly used for chronic pain or stiffness.
• Cold Therapy:
  • Reduces inflammation through blood vessel vasoconstriction but mainly used for numbing pain (swelling is not always bad).
  • Effective for acute injuries like sprains.
• Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim):
  • Uses electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves.
  • Helps with pain relief and muscle re-education.
• Ultrasound Therapy:
  • Uses sound waves to penetrate deep tissues.
  • Promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
• Laser Therapy:
  • Low-level lasers stimulate cellular repair.
  • Often used for soft tissue injuries.
