Injury Prevention

can’t detect what you don’t inspect

Are you worried about developing runner’s knee or tearing your rotator cuff? Many injuries, like these, can be caused by latent trigger points, undetected fascial restriction, muscle strength imbalances and improper movements. We can personally evaluate your body and movement patterns and develop individualized exercise programs for you to reduce your risk of injury.
