Sports Physical Therapy
Athletes are truly in a league of their own. Appropriate rehab goes beyond strengthening and decreasing pain. In order to effectively keep athletes in the game, a comprehensive and specific motor control program is necessary to not only heal current or past injuries, but to prevent any from occurring in the future.
Treat the ‘Cause of the Cause’
The goal of sports rehab is to evaluate and treat injuries related to sports and physical activity. The course of action is to effectively treat the “cause of the cause” of your pain or injury completely and work to correct the musculoskeletal imbalances to prevent re-injury or injury to a different body part.

Lymphatic Sculpting
A specialized light-touch therapy, manual lymphatic drainage therapy is a gentle, rhythmic stimulation of the lymph nodes and lymph vessels that can dramatically increase the normal rate of lymph flow. The slow rhythmic strokes move the skin and connective tissue, creating a gentle pumping action that increases flow in the tissues. It rapidly reduces swelling, bruising, and pain while promoting regeneration. Manual lymphatic drainage therapy is an ideal form of therapy for most pre and post surgical recovery. Promoting detoxification of the entire body will help reduce fluid retention and edemas, and minimize bruising, lump formation, and scarring and accelerate healing after liposuction, skin tightening, tummy tuck and other cosmetic procedures.
When should I get a lymphatic Massage?
Right before and after cosmetic surgery to reduce the amount of swelling and speed up recovery. Before a photos shoot for a more chiseled and defined aesthetic. To reduce puffiness in the face and abdomen. When you have nasal congestion.
What We Offer
Ultrasound Cavitation
Arnica infusion for bruise reduction
Taping to quicken bruise recovery
Lump reduction
Stretching
Pain reduction without reliance on pills
Manual Therapy
Manual physical therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy delivered with the hands as opposed to a device or machine. In manual therapy, practitioners user their hands to put pressure on muscle tissue and manipulate joints in an attempt to decrease back pain caused by muscle spasm, muscle tension, and joint dysfunction.
Types of Manual Therapy
Soft Tissue Mobilization
High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust (adjustments)
Joint Mobilizations
IASTM (Graston)
Traction
PNF Stretching
Sports Massage
Lymphatic Massage

NormaTec Boots
The ultimate recovery system for athletes or anyone after a hard workout, hike or jog. These compression boots work to enhance blood flow and speed recovery by pulsing, distal release, and gradients. This means it can more efficiently direct fluid and metabolites in the blood out of the legs and back up to the heart where they can be excreted faster by the body. Watch a video here.

Cupping
Ancient technique that uses plastic or glass cups to apply a suction force to the muscle or tissue. Benefits are incredible and include: reducing pain, increasing blood flow, decreasing inflammation, promoting healing, and deep relaxation.
How Cupping Works
At Body Remedy Physical Therapy we use air cupping. The cup is placed on the skin and a suction device removes the air from the cup to create the vacuum. The cups are placed most often on the back, stomach, arms, and legs. The cup pulls the skin upward into a rounded shape.
The cups are left on the skin for several minutes. Several cups can be placed on the skin at the same time, depending on the condition that is being treated.
The ways in which cupping helps aren’t completely understood. Because there are a lot of blood vessels in the skin, the suction created by cupping causes the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) to dilate (widen) and burst. This is believed to increase blood flow in the area in which the cup is placed.
Another way cupping is thought to help is by opening the pores of the skin to allow the body to release toxins.
In a review of studies on cupping, researchers found that it was more effective than medication in relieving back and neck pain.
