WE ACCEPT A VARIETY OF INSURANCES
Advanced Manual Therapy Techniques:
We utilize a range of manual therapy techniques to address pain and movement limitations, including:
Dry Needling: A highly effective technique involving the insertion of thin monofilament needles into muscles to manage neuro-musculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. It specifically targets trigger points (taut, tender bands of muscle).
What it is: The precise insertion of a thin needle into a muscle.
What it does: Treats muscles, tendons, ligaments, and peripheral nerves to increase range of motion (ROM), reduce pain, decrease trigger points, improve function, and enhance quality of life. The local twitch response elicited can significantly reduce muscle pain and tenderness.
Who can benefit?
Acute Injuries: Ankle sprains, shoulder pain, knee pain, low back pain, neck pain, ligament sprains, muscle strains, ROM limitations in various joints.
Chronic Injuries: Low back pain, tendonitis (knee, elbow, Achilles), arthritis, bursitis (hip pain), plantar fasciitis.
Individuals experiencing muscle "knots," tightness, or tenderness.
Cupping: A therapeutic technique that creates suction on the skin to promote blood flow and reduce muscle tension.
Tissue Manipulation: Hands-on techniques to address restrictions in muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues.
Who Can Benefit from Physical Therapy at Revival Health & Rehab?
Our personalized and active approach to physical therapy can help individuals with a wide range of conditions and goals:
For Acute Injuries:
Have you recently sprained your ankle, tweaked your knee, or strained a muscle in your back, calf, or shoulder? We are dedicated to reducing your time away from training and life goals, working diligently to get you back to your prior level of function – often even better than before. We also offer pre-hab services to optimize your outcomes if you are facing surgery due to an acute injury.
Following Major Surgery (Post-Op Rehabilitation):
Recovering from surgery requires a structured and expert approach. We work closely with your surgeon to provide comprehensive rehabilitation following procedures such as:
ACL surgery
Achilles tendon repair/ patellar tendon rupture
Meniscus repair/ knee arthroscopy
MCL/LCL repair
Shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repair, pectoralis major tear repair)
Lumbar fusion/ discectomy
Our focus is on gradually strengthening the surrounding muscles and rebuilding your range of motion to ensure a successful recovery.
Preventative Physical Therapy:
Be proactive about your health and performance! Preventative physical therapy involves a detailed assessment to identify potential areas of weakness or imbalance that could lead to future problems (e.g., assessing hip and ankle mobility in someone with a history of knee pain). We then develop a plan to maintain strength and mobility in these vulnerable areas. For athletes of all levels, from high school to weekend warriors, regular preventative therapy can help you stay ahead of injuries before they happen.
For Chronic Injuries:
Don't let persistent pain limit your life. Whether you're dealing with tendinitis/tendinopathy or experiencing nagging pain in your knee, hip, lower back, or neck, our therapists can help identify the underlying causes and create a targeted plan to improve your strength, mobility, and ultimately help you take control of your pain.
