Services
Trigger Point Dry Needling
Trigger Point Dry Needling at Movement Physical Therapy targets musculoskeletal pain using fine needles to release dysfunctional muscles. This technique, performed by Kinetacore-trained specialists, reduces tightness and pain while improving mobility. Patients often experience immediate relief and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Injury Prevention Physical
Our Injury Prevention PhysicalSM uses the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to assess and correct movement patterns, reducing injury risk. This evidence-based evaluation identifies asymmetries and imbalances, guiding personalized corrective strategies to enhance athletic performance and daily functional mobility.
Medical Golf Evaluation
The Medical Golf Evaluation combines video swing analysis with functional movement assessments to optimize golf performance. This system, led by TPI Level 3 Certified professionals, identifies physical limitations and refines swing mechanics to prevent injuries and improve consistency for amateur and professional golfers.

Offered by BASI-certified clinicians, this therapy improves flexibility, strength, and posture, benefiting athletes and individuals recovering from injuries or chronic pain.
