sports medicine and orthopedics
From one professional athlete to another. We pride ourselves on not just rehabbing our athletes, but improving their overall performance. We are happy to treat your orthopedic and sports concerns, but we are also here to help you take your game to the next level.
We are experienced at treating the whole body and person. Our efforts are not just directed at your source of pain, but identifying the cause of the dysfunction or inefficiency. This is the way many professional and Olympic athletes are treated- by identifying dysfunction before or while it is happening, correcting the movement, and creating a more efficient, powerful, and competitive athlete. So whether it is golf, tennis, swimming, dancing, basketball, football, hockey, or squash we can improve your game!

headaches and migraines
Headaches and migraine’s are multifaceted and often have many variables contributing including vision, the temporomandibular joint, cervical spine, and posture to name a few. Our therapists evaluate all of the possible variables and address each of them with manual therapy techniques including soft tissue massage, myofascial release, needling, strength, postural awareness, and handouts on healthy eye and sleep hygiene.
We understand how debilitating these can be and just how many variables contribute to the cause. We work closely with local neurologists to support and relieve chronic headaches and migraines.
vertigo, dizziness, and unsteadiness
If you have ever experienced dizziness, unsteadiness or a significant concussion you know that this can significantly impact your quality of life. Our therapist is trained by Emory School of Medicine on vestibular rehabilitation and passed an in person written examination demonstrating her skill and thorough comprehension of everything Vestibular. She is a cutting edge therapist who works closely with local Optometrist and is currently conducting research in the area of vision rehab as it applies to vestibular rehabilitation.
concussion management
We have the only American Physical Therapy Association certified vestibular therapist in the area, which includes advanced training in managing concussions. This means that she not only has the education, but took and passed a comprehensive examination to better understand and treat disorders of the brain that are effected by traumatic brain injury such as concussion. We also combine vision rehabilitation and our certification in manual therapy to address any/all orthopedic involvement of the cervical spine related to the impact, providing you with a well rounded approach to your care as you heal.

Neck Pain
Pain in the cervical spine is complex in both causes and symptoms, and it can have a serious impact on your daily life. Neck pain may include muscle weakness or tightness, headache, and/or numbness/tingling in the arms. Our therapists are experts in evaluating the cervical spine so we can be specific and comprehensive in our treatment. We take the time to address the factors that could be contributing to your neck pain, including muscular or joint restrictions, posture, ergonomics, body mechanics, and muscle imbalances. We also work with patients pre- and post-surgically to safely manage your symptoms.
Lower Extremity Injuries
Hip, knee, foot, and ankle injuries can be debilitating. Our therapists understand how the joints of the lower body integrate with each other and the rest of the kinetic chain.

We are also experts in injury prevention and athletic performance, and our full-body approach can keep you on the field and prevent lower extremity injuries.

neurological conditions
We specifically work with multiple sclerosis, cerebellar stroke, dystonia, and post-covid neurological conditions. Our unique ability to treat orthopedic concerns manually, our deep knowledge of the balance system, and our experience treating complex neurological issues enables us to have significant success in relieving pain, discomfort, and enables patients to maintain quality of life.

We work together with you to turn on your deep stabilizers, treat pain and discomfort with manual techniques and acupuncture, and strengthen based on your unique needs and presentations.
dance medicine
Dancers require a unique approach to rehabilitation and no one understands that better than we do. Our founder as a former professional dancer and NFL cheerleader has spoken at international conferences, and educated each provider in her practice as to the importance of assessing the dancer as a whole and understanding the demands of dance on the body. We offer assessments of strength, and mobility as it relates to being prepared for pointe work, tumbling and athletic dance, and stunt work.

men’s health
Whether it be musculoskeletal, sports injuries, back or abdominal pain, pudendal neuralgia, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) we understand how the male body changes and the demands that are placed on it. Often overlooked or not spoken about we help address concerns about continence, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain. We also provide comprehensive rehabilitation for pre- and post-prostatectomy patients.
pre- and post-surgical management
Before going into surgery there is often a checklist of items that need to happen, but not to be overlooked is pre- and post- surgical physical therapy management. In preparation, it is important to approach surgery like an elite athlete by addressing soft tissue tightness, working on improving cardiovascular health, and optimizing range of motion and strength. We work to prepare mind and body for the healing process, utilizing acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, and moving meditation. Following surgery, we work to restore efficient mobility and strength so you can get back to safely return to activity.
