Knowing that the human movement system is intricately connected, we look beyond the region of concern to consider every component in the chain. With this awareness, we restore stability, range of motion, strength, and muscle balance to ensure long-term recovery.
 
 

Habitual movement patterns, repetitive movements, past injuries or surgeries, and incomplete rehabilitation from previous injuries can alter the movement system. We look at alignment and functioning across every component, and identify any compensatory movement patterns or impairments. Rehab exercise focuses on restoring balance between the the underdeveloped and overdeveloped muscles to increase joint ROM, reduce tissue and fascial tension, and improve pain. We tackle the functional limitations left over from acute rehabilitation, and get you back to full functional capacity.

Our clinicians have degrees in Kinesiology, with additional training in corrective and medical exercise.

Our Three Pillars

Injury Prevention

Most of us reach for help after an injury, but how about preventing one in the first place? 

Our active therapy approach targets and strengthens the small stabilizer muscles that provide deep structures (major joints) with support, so the superficial larger muscles can do their job as prime movers. As we age, and move less these critical muscles lose their strength, which can lead to injury. To move safely and prevent injury, you can work one to one with a kinesiologist or take our PREHAB classes. If you do the prehab, you won’t have to do the rehab. 

  • Shoulder Stability Prehab

  • Back Prehab

  • Hip Prehab

  • Knee Prehab

 

Injury Rehabilitation

We work with clients from the sub-acute (7 days post) stage of injury, to chronic stages of injury (up to years after). We prescribe medical and corrective exercise for the affected region and adjacent areas to restore stability, strength, ROM, and function, and address any muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement patterns. You can work one on one with a kinesiologist, or take our REHAB classes. 

If you are a candidate for a joint replacement surgery, our rehab classes are an excellent way to build strength post surgery making your recovery faster and easier.

  • Shoulder Rehab

  • Beginner Core / Core Rehab

  • Hip Rehab

  • Knee Rehab

Rehabilitation Maintenance

If you have recovered from an injury and need a maintenance solution to stay strong and healthy, attend our REHAB and PREHAB classes

Our REHAB classes are suggested if you are still experiencing weakness and loss of function on your affected side. Our PREHAB classes are suggested if strength is comparable between sides and imbalances have been corrected.

We will continue to build on your physical rehabilitation to prevent recurring injuries. 

Additional Suggested Classes:

  • Rehab to Strength

  • TRX Rehab (suggested for those with previous TRX experience)

  • Core Rehab

 
 

 
 

Why is Active Rehab Important?

Damaged tissue and bone need to reestablish their ROM, stability and strength to sustain the physical demands of our daily needs. Without active therapy to reestablish damaged or dysfunctional regions, other tissues take on the role of injured areas to avoid pain and compensate for function. Over time, this creates dysfunctional movement patterns and muscular imbalances that leave people vulnerable to continued injury and pain. Active therapy is critical for getting tissues and bones functional post injury and restoring healthy movement mechanics.
