Making the Links and Getting Results

Emerging evidence suggests injury risk is multi-factorial and the traditional approach to treating the injured body part alone does not address the complex factors involved in creating the injury and limiting recovery.

We believe that our specific combination of cutting edge rehabilitative services developed through years of clinical experience, critical analysis and application of research-supported models have a powerful effect leading to:

  • Rapid pain reduction and recovery from injuries
  • Reduced incidence of future injuries
  • Improved efficacy of conditioning strategies
  • Improved sports and activity performance

How are we different?

Our conclusion based on over 20 years of clinical experience is that most individuals when injured, are evaluated by physicians and therapists by utilizing the tradition medical model which focuses on assessing and treating only the injured body part. While this can certainly be valuable for short term improvement of symptoms, it’s efficacy can be limited for sustained and rapid pain relief as well as prevention of future injury.

Our model consists of an innovative, eclectic and holistic approach to evaluate and treat individuals, which include:
