Physical Therapy Services
Manual therapy incorporates two main techniques—soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization—to increase tissue flexibility, reduce pain, and restore movement.
By working directly on a patient's joints and muscles, manual therapy improves exercise performance and speeds recovery.
Manual Therapy
Dry needling is a technique that utilizes thin, solid filament needles (same as acupuncture needles) and inserts them directly into your muscle.
DistriKT PT uses dry needling to treat myofascial trigger points, muscle spasms, scars, or other areas with muscle tightness or pain. Dry needling helps relieve muscle pain or stiffness, increase flexibility, and improve range of motion. While results vary by individual, patients typically report feeling relief within 24-48 hours after dry needling treatment.
DistriKT PT often combines dry needling with other services, such as manual therapy, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Dry Needling
Utilizing evidence-based methods, specific exercises can help improve posture, muscle imbalances, and fix compensatory movement patterns. Exercises can help activate or inhibit muscles, as well as integrate multi-joint movements, to restore correct motor patterns.
Rather than treating specific symptoms, DistriKT PT uses corrective exercises to help patients improve how their body moves by restoring stability, strength, mobility, balance, and coordination.
Corrective Exercise
Running Assessment & Coaching
DistriKT PT takes a two-step approach to Running Assessment & Coaching.
First, we assess your biomechanics using a combination of video and in-person analysis of your running gait on a treadmill or other surface. Second—based on our findings—we work with you to adjust how you run and provide specific exercises to:
Enhance your running mechanics
Optimize performance
Reduce injuries
DistriKT PT provides additional services, including cupping, ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, and other treatments, to address each individual patient’s needs.
