Our Proven 4-Phase Recovery Program

Our journey starts with Fascial Recalibration via Myofascial Release, focusing on correcting fascial distortions caused by years of compensating for pain. This crucial initial step includes unraveling the fascia, the connective tissue encasing muscles and organs, to reduce discomfort and pinpoint actual muscle stiffness. You’ll notice prompt relief and enhanced flexibility, laying the groundwork for more in-depth treatment. While Stage 1 provides immediate benefits and can markedly reduce pain, progressing to subsequent stages is advised for sustained enhancement.
Stage 2 is centered on detailed Muscle Recalibration using Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to tackle specific muscle tightness and rectify identified imbalances, such as pelvic rotation and trunk tilt. This thorough approach entails the release of approximately 200 muscles over a period of 8-10 weeks, aiming to enhance your body’s capability for essential activities (like walking, standing, sitting, and sleeping), lessen the reliance on pain medication, and regain the joy of engaging in favorite activities such as golf, tennis, travel, beach visits, gym workouts, or playing with grandchildren. This phase is essential for individuals dedicated to comprehensively addressing their chronic pain and securing enduring relief to improve their quality of life.
After achieving pain relief and body symmetry, we introduce home exercises tailored to maintain the flexibility and neutral alignment achieved through our Body Recalibration Method. These exercises are designed to preserve symmetry, rather than to increase flexibility, to ensure your body remains balanced and to deactivate your pain alarm system. Exercises are introduced at the 3rd stage to prevent the common experience of increased pain caused by exercises, often encountered in Traditional PT. This stage is crucial for maintaining the benefits of treatment and avoiding setbacks in your recovery journey.
The final stage is designed to smoothly reintegrate you into your favorite activities, ensuring you can participate without the fear of pain. It focuses on identifying and addressing any lingering biomechanical issues, which are often at the heart of your problem. This phase includes fine-tuning your treatment to match how your body reacts to heightened activity levels, pinpointing and resolving any remaining issues. The goal is to guarantee a complete return to functionality and enhance your enjoyment of life. This holistic strategy aims not only to alleviate pain but also to promote a lasting active lifestyle, improved health, and enhanced mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?

Physical therapy sessions typically involve an assessment of your condition, manual techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercises and activities to help you reach your goals, education on how to prevent further injury or pain, and instruction on proper posture, body mechanics and other lifestyle changes.

Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physical Therapy?

Florida is a Direct Access state. This statute allows an individual to receive physical therapy in Florida for 30 days without a prescription. After that period, individuals would need to obtain one from their primary care doctor to continue.

What do I need to wear or bring with me?

You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physical therapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.

Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?

Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.

How long will my physical therapy sessions last?

Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on your condition and the types of techniques used. Your physical therapist will give you an estimate when you first arrive for your appointment.

Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?

Yes! Your physical therapist may provide specific exercise recommendations for you to try in between visits, which will help speed up your recovery and progress faster toward reaching your goals. It’s important to follow these carefully and always check with your PT before starting a new exercise program if you have any questions or concerns.

What if I have questions after my physical therapy session?

Your physical therapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!

How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?

The frequency of visits will depend on your individual goals and condition, but typically it is recommended that patients attend 2-3 times per week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks in order to maximize results. Your therapist will provide more details during your initial appointment.

How long will it take for me to see results?

Every person’s situation is unique; therefore the amount of time needed to reach goals varies. With commitment and dedication from both you and your physical therapist, you can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks. The more positive lifestyle changes you make, the faster your progress will be!

Will my physical therapist be able to answer any questions I have about my condition?

Yes! Your physical therapist should be available to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your condition or treatment plan. Don’t hesitate to bring up any issues that may arise during the course of therapy.

What if I feel too much pain during a session?

If at any time during your physical therapy session you experience increased pain, it’s important to let your therapist know so they can adjust the intensity or technique as necessary. Your therapist will work with you to make sure that treatment is comfortable and effective for you.

How will I know when I no longer need physical therapy?

Your physical therapist should be able to provide guidance on when it is appropriate to stop attending physical therapy sessions based on your progress, goals, and overall health status. It’s important to listen to your therapist and continue with treatment until they feel you are ready to move on.
