Diagnosis

What We Do

We conduct a thorough examination including the back, hips, knee, and ankle/foot. We determine the root cause of your symptoms to ensure that physical therapy treatment is the best option for you.

How We Do It

We examine posture, range of motion, strength, reflexes, sensation, soft tissue mobility, joint mobility, nerve mobility, and functional movements to create a custom treatment plan. We also take into account any imaging that you have had like X-Rays, MRI, CT scans, etc.

Why We Do It

Recent research has actually shown that physical therapy is a better option than surgery, pain medication and injections. We can help you avoid unnecessary invasive procedures and tests that cost a fortune with limited effectiveness.

Did you know?! IT band issues typically begin in the hips due to weakness or tightness. The gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and tensor fascia latae (TFL) muscles can all contribute to issues along the IT band.

What Our
Patients Are Saying

I can say without a doubt Dr. B has been the best physical therapist I’ve had so far. He is very welcoming and cares about getting you back into shape again. The one-on-one sessions have been very helpful for me to get back to how I was pre-injury. The office is spacious and the staff has always been hospitable and helpful. They also allow you to come in your free time to use their equipment. 10/10. Highly recommend.
