FIT Program - Functional Integrated Treatment
Functional Rehabilitation That Simply Gets Results
Injury is an inevitable consequence of athletic participation. The key to recovery
is an effective, comprehensive approach to treatment that utilizes a broad - based
approach to improving tissue health, re-establishing movement and mobility and re-educating
the nervous system. Our goal is to provide allied health professionals, doctors and
chiropractors with long – term, goal driven strategies for their patients that not
only serve to rehabilitate but prevent further injury and improve systemic health.
Movement Re-Education
In conjunction with chiropractic / physician driven treatment and recommendations,
we provide athletes with a strategic plan to re- establish movement and mobility in
a pain – free, progressive environment. Movement education based on functional
assessments using the Scap Movement Screen ( SMS ) – an assessment plan that allows
us to identify faulty movement patterns and muscular imbalances that can be improved
using an arsenal of corrective functional exercise. A movement plan that gets every
athlete back on their feet safely and effectively.
ROCKTAPE Roc Doc
Rocktape, the industry leader in Kinesiology tape, has redefined performance with their
unique Fascial Movement Taping – Power Taping system. When applied, Rocktape can immediately
reduce pain, improve / correct movement and alter fluid dynamics reducing edema post injury
getting the athlete back on the field safely and effectively. Through effective application,
we can improve performance and treat a variety of conditions including jumper’s knee,
plantar fasciitis and complex shoulder pain. Rocktape is about taping movement not muscle!
Fascial Stretch - The Stretch To Win System
A new way to improve flexibility, enhance performance and reduce injury ! Fascial Stretch, a comprehensive flexibility treatment system developed by Ann and Chris Frederick is more than simply static stretching. The Stretch To Win system involves carefully designed, active flexibility patterns of movement aimed at improving joint heath, stretching muscle, connective and fascial tissue and improving joint awareness and mobility. Stretching that gets results immediately.
Fascial Abrasion and Preformance Kinesio Taping
Fascial Abrasion techniques have been developed after years of research by Dr. Mark
Scappaticci, a world – renowned expert in the fields of sports medicine and rehabilitation.
As an educator for Dr. Scappaticci, we have been involved in the ongoing development of
fascial abrasion techniques using the FAT - Fascial Abrasion Tool to improve fascial and
soft issue health and improve mobility almost instantly.
Kinesio Taping is more than the simple white tape we have all been exposed to. Performance
Kinesio Taping involves the use of contoured, textured tape that when manipulated and
stretched, can alter skin sensation, blood flow, communication with the nervous system
and improve mobility around the injured site improving healing and re- establishing
movement. Tape procedures that promote mobility and motor re-education. A powerful tool
that has changed the rehabilitation landscape and gets athletes back on the field quickly.
Acupuncture
The ancient art of inserting fine needles into strategic points along meridians to reduce
pain and inflammation and re-educate the nervous system. Dry needling techniques that serve
to improve pain management safely and effectively. An ancient art that has become an integral
part of a progressive system of treatment.
