Progressive Programs for Long-Term Success

Performance Rehab integrates the latest research and advanced techniques with a holistic view of health and movement. The result is a treatment plan that not only eliminates pain but also builds strength, improves mobility, and enhances overall resilience.

The Proven 3-Step Process for Recovery and Resilience

RESET: Calming the Storm

The first step in the journey is to address the immediate discomfort and identify the root cause of your pain. ProMotion’s specialists use advanced assessments to:

  • Pinpoint areas of dysfunction and imbalance.
  • Provide immediate relief through targeted interventions.
  • Lay the groundwork for a structured recovery process.

RESOLVE: Addressing Contributing Factors

Once the initial pain is managed, the focus shifts to correcting the underlying issues and factors contributing to your condition. This step includes:

  • Functional exercises designed to improve movement patterns and eliminate compensations.
  • Advanced techniques like dry needling and myofascial mobilization to enhance mobility and reduce tension.
  • Tailored strategies to ensure progress aligns with your specific goals and lifestyle.

REBUILD: Strength and Resilience

The final phase is where clients regain confidence and capacity, transitioning from recovery to peak performance. ProMotion’s programs emphasize:

  • Building strength and endurance through progressive overload.
  • Enhancing functional movement patterns to reduce the risk of future injuries.
  • Empowering clients to push their limits safely and effectively in their sport, fitness routine, or daily activities.

Specialized Services to Optimize Performance

ProMotion Performance Therapy offers an array of cutting-edge services designed to address pain, improve mobility, and enhance athletic performance. Each service is tailored to meet the unique needs of active adults and athletes, ensuring a customized path to recovery and strength.

Dry Needling: A Powerful Solution for Pain and Recovery

Dry needling is an advanced therapeutic technique that targets muscle tension and dysfunction at its root. This evidence-based approach involves inserting a fine, monofilament needle into myofascial trigger points—tight, knotted areas within the muscle that cause pain, stiffness, and reduced function.

How Dry Needling Works

When the needle is inserted into the trigger point, it elicits a "local twitch response," an involuntary contraction that helps:

  • Release Muscle Tension: The twitch response relaxes the muscle, reducing tightness and pain.
  • Improve Circulation: By increasing blood flow to the area, dry needling promotes oxygen and nutrient delivery, accelerating tissue repair.
  • Reset Neural Connections: It helps restore the proper communication between the nervous system and the muscle, improving overall function.

Key Benefits of Dry Needling

  • Pain Relief: Alleviates acute and chronic pain caused by tight muscles and trigger points.
  • Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion: Restores normal muscle length, enabling better movement and performance.
  • Accelerated Healing: Enhances the body's natural repair processes, reducing recovery time.
  • Injury Prevention: Corrects imbalances and reduces compensatory movement patterns that increase injury risk.

Best for: Chronic pain conditions, overuse injuries, post-surgical recovery, and sports-related strains like tennis elbow or runner’s knee.

Myofascial Mobilization: Enhancing Mobility and Recovery

Myofascial mobilization focuses on releasing tension and restrictions in the connective tissues (fascia) that surround and support muscles. ProMotion’s skilled therapists combine cupping therapy and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to achieve optimal results.

How It Works

  1. Cupping Therapy:
    • Suction cups are applied to the skin, creating negative pressure that pulls blood into the target area.
    • This increased blood flow improves tissue mobility, reduces inflammation, and facilitates the removal of metabolic waste.
  2. Graston/IASTM Techniques:
    • Specialized instruments are used to break down scar tissue and adhesions that restrict movement.
    • Gentle scraping motions stimulate collagen production, promoting long-term healing and flexibility.

Key Benefits of Myofascial Mobilization

  • Pain Reduction: Releases tension in tight muscles and soft tissues.
  • Improved Mobility: Restores normal range of motion in affected areas.
  • Enhanced Recovery: Accelerates the healing of chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, and post-surgical scar tissue.

Best for: Clients with chronic pain, mobility limitations, or those recovering from past injuries or surgeries.

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training: Strength with Less Stress

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is an innovative technique that uses specialized cuffs or bands to restrict blood flow to working muscles during low-intensity exercise. This creates an environment where muscles work harder with less strain on joints and tissues, mimicking the benefits of high-intensity workouts.

How BFR Works

By partially restricting blood flow, the body produces higher levels of growth hormones and other repair-promoting compounds. This results in:

  • Enhanced muscle hypertrophy (growth).
  • Increased strength gains.
  • Faster recovery from injury or surgery.

Key Benefits of BFR Training

  • Safe Muscle Building: Ideal for individuals with joint pain or limited mobility who can’t perform heavy lifting.
  • Post-Surgical Recovery: Allows for effective strength training early in the rehabilitation process without overloading healing tissues.
  • Time Efficiency: Achieves significant strength gains in shorter workout sessions.

Best for: Post-surgical patients, athletes recovering from injuries, or individuals with arthritis or joint pain.

Baseball Pitching Enhancement Program: Elevate Your Game

Baseball players face unique physical demands, particularly in pitching, which requires precise mechanics and significant repetitive motion. ProMotion’s Baseball Pitching Enhancement Program is designed to optimize performance while minimizing injury risk.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Pitching Mechanics: Analyze and refine motion patterns to reduce strain on the shoulder and elbow.
  • Targeted Strength Training: Build the specific muscles needed for stability, power, and control.
  • Customized Training Plans: Programs are tailored to the athlete’s level, goals, and position.

Best for: Youth, amateur, and professional baseball players looking to improve performance and longevity.

Pelvic Floor Therapy: Building Core Strength and Stability

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects many individuals, often impacting daily life and athletic performance. At ProMotion, pelvic floor therapy addresses a variety of conditions with tailored treatment plans.

Conditions Treated:

  • Postpartum Recovery: Strengthens muscles weakened during pregnancy or childbirth.
  • Chronic Pelvic Pain: Relieves discomfort caused by muscle imbalances or tension.
  • Urinary Incontinence and Core Weakness: Improves stability and control for better function during exercise and daily activities.

Key Benefits of Pelvic Floor Therapy

  • Restores core strength and stability, which are essential for athletic performance.
  • Reduces pain and discomfort, enabling clients to return to activities they enjoy.
  • Provides education and strategies to maintain progress over time.

Best for: Postpartum women, athletes with core stability issues, and individuals experiencing chronic pelvic discomfort.

ProMotion Performance Therapy’s specialized services are designed to address a range of needs, ensuring that every client can move forward with confidence, strength, and resilience.

By moving away from the limitations of traditional insurance-based therapy, self-pay clients gain access to personalized, efficient, and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and goals.

The Benefits of Self-Pay Physical Therapy

  1. Personalized, Unrestricted Care
    Insurance companies often dictate the type, duration, and frequency of care, limiting your therapist’s ability to provide the treatment you truly need. With self-pay physical therapy:

    • No Restrictions: Your care is tailored entirely to your condition, progress, and goals without interference from insurance providers.
    • Freedom to Focus: Therapists have the flexibility to dedicate sessions to your individual needs, from advanced manual therapy to functional training.

    • Therapists take the time to listen, evaluate, and implement treatments that work best for you.
  3. Fewer Sessions, Faster Recovery
    Traditional physical therapy often involves multiple short visits per week, which can be time-consuming and less effective. With self-pay:

    • Efficient Care: Each session is designed to achieve maximum progress, reducing the overall number of visits needed.
    • Cost-Effective Results: By addressing root causes and empowering you with tools for self-management, self-pay therapy often leads to quicker, more lasting improvements.
