Physical Therapy & Functional Rehab

Physical Therapy & Functional Rehab

At Movement Upgraded, we approach physical therapy and functional rehab quite differently than traditional physical therapy and chiropractic offices.

Instead of solely focusing on pain relief through modalities (ultrasound, cold laser, heat packs, ice packs, etc.), we focus on improving your joint health and overall mobility through strategic joint mobility training and functional strength training.

Mobility training and functional strength training are the missing pieces to finally overcoming your complaints and living your best life. These are also the things that everyone needs to age well and prevent joint aches and pains later in life.

Mobility training & functional rehab will help you:

• Improve your joint flexibility & overall movement
• Improve your joint health
• Improve your body control & proprioception
• Rehab you from an injury (past or current)
• Mitigate future re-injury
• Increase your movement capacity
• Improve your physical & athletic performance
• Decrease your joint stiffness
• Eliminate your muscle tightness

Why Do You Need Your Physical Therapy Treatment To Focus On Joint Mobility Training & Functional Rehab?

Because traditional physical therapy and chiropractic care only focus on symptom management. 

Don't get us wrong, chiropractic adjustments, massages, dry needling, acupuncture, cupping, manual therapies, lasers, ice/heat packs, etc. definitely help with pain-relief. But they don't fix the underlying cause of your complaint.

The underlying cause of your complaint is your poor movement & joint mobility.

And to improve your movement and joint mobility, you need a movement solution (mobility training).

The techniques listed above (adjustments, massages, etc.) aren't movement solutions...they're techniques used to manage your symptoms. These techniques should help decrease your pain just enough to start mobility training as quickly as possible.

Through improving your joint mobility and joint health, we’re improving your movement quality. Improved movement quality allows you to do anything in life better, with more ease, and without pain.
