ORTHOPEDIC PT
HOLISTIC, Full BoDY PT
My practice model allows me to approach orthopedic physical therapy from a full body approach every session simply due to the fact that insurance is not involved. So, when you are working with me, expect to address everything and receive better, likely faster results because of it.
Here are some common orthopedic concerns I treat on a regular basis:
Hip pain, labral tears, piriformis syndrome
Knee Pain, meniscus pain
Plantar Fasciitis, foot pain
Low back pain, sciatica, SIJ pain
Neck pain, cervical Radiculopathy aka “pinched nerve”
Rotator Cuff / shoulder pain
Don’t be surprised if you book an initial evaluation with mainly a concern listed above like low back pain, and we’re looking at your ankle mobility, foot posture, arch strength, your movement preferences, knee cap mobility, hip strength, and mobility, even your pelvic floor, upper spine, and rib cage mobility! Of course we will also be assessing your low back and explain how the rest of the body is affecting what you are experiencing as low back pain.
You’d be amazed how the body compensates. The body is always going to take the easiest route, which I'm sure you can guess, isn’t always the smartest route and can be a root cause for aches and pains you’re experiencing.
Dr. Kristin will assess the whole body, identify compensations and weaknesses, listen and address your concerns, and create a plan of care!
Sports physical therapy has a similar practice model, but their main goal is to return the athlete to play with full preparation for competition! Think of our journey together similarly- only maybe your goal is to return to running, back to pickleball, or working out how it used to be pre-kids (as in- no bladder leakage!), or just back to the times when you were doing whatever group class or workout you wanted to without consequences later.
My goal is to help guide you to getting there, and getting your life back so you can do all of the things with your kids, or for yourself that you WISH you could do!
R3 Mobile PT makes your plan of care customized to you and incorporates relative things you love into treatment! For example, if you are trying to return to pickleball after a calf tear, we are going to work on plyometrics and agility specific movements you need in order to return to pickleball STRONGER than you were when you got injured- not just “back to your baseline” because remember- that’s where you got injured to begin with!
