Move your way to health
Based on physical therapy and athletic training approaches to evaluation, exercise rehabilitation, and symptom management, movement therapy focuses on identifying and addressing factors that impact the ability to move freely and optimally.
After a thorough interview and medical history is taken, initial evaluation assesses range of motion, anatomical structure and function through palpation and muscle testing, and orthopedic special tests to find factors that may contribute to movement deficiency.
From the findings of the initial evaluation a plan of care is established that typically consists of therapeutic modalities, joint mobilization, and soft tissue mobilization as well as specific rehabilitative exercises to target key joints, muscles, and movement patterns to allow for increased freedom and ease of motion. A home exercise program is also developed to allow for long-term goal achievement and maintenance.
