Your Fitness Journey with Physio Room

Most folks come to Physio Room with and injury but over 200 people have stayed on our membership program to optimize their health and human performance.

A majority of people start their care when they have pain, they’re fearful of movement, and they’re avoiding movements that they want to do. This is where we come in to help you calm that pain down. We’re going to get you back to feeling better, moving better, and enjoying the activities you like to do!  In order to do that, we have a three-step process.

 

3 Step Process:

Reset Phase

In the reset phase, we help you get rid of your pain and calm things down. We’re going to desensitize and down regulate the system so you can start to tolerate more movement and have less pain with your movement. We have many tools in the toolbox to accomplish this. Dry needling, cupping, adjustments, massage, and laser are great tools for you to help decrease your pain. However, at the end of the day, these treatments provide very short-term relief… and our goal is to get you long-term results that last.  

Restore Phase

Once you get the pain to decrease, we need to restore proper movement patterns. We need to get the right muscles firing at the right times. We will also be focusing on your mobility and and flexibility and going to increase your range of motion. We restore the range of motion and get the right muscle firing at the right time in a way that become habit and you no longer have to think about them.  It takes time to retrain the brain and develop new “muscle memory”.

Reload Phase

In this phase, we will focus on those proper movement patterns and challenge those patterns with load specific to your goals. You will become more tolerant, more resilient, and you will be able to do what you love to do without pain.

We know that healthcare is broken and we are trying to challenge the status quo. Most PT clinics do not operate in a way that allows them to provide all three phases to best of their ability.  We are able to give you something that nobody else in town can give you…time with an expert in your sport or activity.  When you work with someone that specializes in your sport and understands the demands required, then you can start to form a very specific plan to get you back to what you love to do.  In order to do that, you need time and that is not what the traditional healthcare model can provide.  At Physio Room, you will have the time to calm your pain down, start to get the right muscles firing at the right time, and load those patterns up so that you can do what you love to do without pain.  If you are not able to get all three of those phases in a single session, then your ability to get the long terms results goes down significantly.

 

Why do other providers fail to get results?

Too many times, we see disappointed clients that have gone to other providers for the “quick fix”.  Often,  they have been getting “passive” treatments such as needling, massage, and adjustments and they are not getting the results they are looking for.

These treatments are a very good approach in the “reset” phase, but alone they will NOT achieve long-term results.  For example, if someone comes in with knee pain and we use cupping, needling, and massage to calm the pain down and we do not address the ankle mobility or the hip strength and stability, then that pain will most likely come back.

We need to “restore” the range of motion and get the hip to fire at the right time in order to take the stress off of the knee.   So now that knee feels better, but that is finally when the real work and the long-term results can begin!  If you do not get those tissue stronger and able to maintain the demands requested, then your pain is going to come back.

We need to “reload” those tissues in order to hike or go up and down the stairs for that matter.  You need to be able to get you “knees over your toes” and their are still providers out there saying that you should avoid that movement, but they are wrong!  We have to treat movement as medicine and learn to dose the medicine appropriately.  Don’t take have a pill and don’t take the whole bottle. Gradually exposing those tissues to the load and demand you need will slowly increase your tolerance to the activities you want to get back to.

Again, if you do not have the time with your current provider to address each of these phases, then you will inevitably become disappointed.   Our model gives you the opportunity to address each phase and that allows us to get you better, faster and save you time and money! 

 

“Great providers are going to look at the root cause of your issues and provide you with the tools necessary to fix the problem.”
