Physical Therapy
When you book a physical therapy session, your entire session is face to face with your physical therapist, Morgan. You will not be handed off to an assistant, and the complete focus will be placed on your individual situation. You will never be double booked, and you will receive comprehensive and tailored treatment that changes and evolves to match your needs. The treatment may include a combination of several techniques, including but not limited to manual therapy and targeted exercises. Manual therapy may include spinal and extremity joint mobilization and manipulation, soft tissue mobilization, and muscle retraining techniques designed to eliminate pain and improve movement. Efficient and effective targeted exercise programs may also be utilized, and will be tailored to your mobility, strength, power, and balance needs.

New to the game? Been playing for years but can’t seem to beat that one person in your foursome? Struggling with a nagging injury? Whatever the case may be, get the coaching you need to have fun doing what you love.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves the insertion of a fine, sterile solid filament needle into a taut band of muscle fibers, commonly known as “trigger points.” Therapeutic effects include decreased pain and improved function which occur through mechanical, neurophysiological, and biochemical effects. If you book a dry needling session with Morgan, you will also receive education and exercise prescription to maintain the positive effects of dry needling after your session.
Trigger points are described as “hyperirritable spots of skeletal muscle associated with hypersensitive palpable nodules in a taut band" (Simons, 1999). Trigger points are commonly associated with painful orthopedic conditions which include but are not limited to headache and myofascial restriction. These nodules are thought to develop due to altered electrical activity at the junction between nerves and muscle, and can be affected positively by dry needle intervention.
Dry Needling: $90 for a 25 minute dry needling session
