Functional dry needling (FDN) is a treatment that physical therapists use to decrease pain and restore normal muscle function. A fine filament needle is inserted into a motor point in a painful muscle. The needles are short, solid, sterile, stainless steel needles that do not insert any fluid into the body. Needling stimulates the muscle, reducing pain and significantly improving the function of the injured tissue. Research has shown that FDN breaks the pain cycle by decreasing the chemical irritation and muscle contraction, while at the same time improving the muscle’s flexibility. FDN is thought to have a systemic response in lowering the body's inflammation by turning on the body's immune system. 

We offer personalized strength and conditioning programs to help you reach your fitness goals. A full evaluation is performed to see what muscles are strong and weak in your body. A full flexibility exam will also be performed. Based on your evaluation, a program will be designed to help you reach your goals in a safe and effective way. We will be with you every step of the way altering your program appropriately as you go. 

We offer personalized balance and stability training to help keep you safely on your feet.
