If you’ve found our site because you are looking to work with a physical therapist, or have been recommended to try physical therapy, then you have come to the right place!

But before we get started, I have created a free guide, Everything You Need TO know about Physical Therapy, 29 Most Frequently Asked Questions.

This guide is perfect for you if:

Because I have found most people who are simply searching for a PT, or have been recommended to try PT may not be completely sure about what physical therapy is, or what it CAN do for you.

And if you are in pain, are injured, and just looking for a way to heal your injury naturally, and get back to living a normal, active lifestyle…

I want to make sure that you have a good understanding of what physical therapy CAN do for you, and the potential benefits it can have…

To not only help you get rid of your pain and injuries, but also make sure your pain and injuries stay away permanently, so you can restore your mobility and enjoy a better quality of life.

Unlike other services such as chiropractic, massage, or acupuncture, which may provide ‘temporary relief’ of pain and symptoms…

Physical Therapy (when done properly) not only can help you quickly get rid of your pain…

But also make sure that your pain STAYS away, so you can get back to living your active normal lifestyle.

The thing is, the human body is very complex, and its ability to heal, regenerate, and recover naturally is not something that should be underestimated.

But in order for that to happen, it does require time, patience, and a bit of work on your end.

So if you are someone who is:

Then you will NOT be a good fit for us…

However, if you ARE someone who is:

Then, just like the people below, you can expect a truly amazing, transformative outcome…

EVEN IF you’ve been in pain for years, or doctors told you nothing else could be done.

Occasionally I hear of people who are a bit skeptical, or unsure about physical therapy.  People tell us all the time:

At Balance and Body, I want to assure you that this is NOT the case…

And what makes us different and unique from other therapy clinics you may have either tried, or heard about, is our 5-step process.

This is to ensure that every single person who steps into our doors receives the absolute best, world-class quality of care to give you the best possible chance of not only getting out of pain, but help you get back to the activities you love.

When you are in pain, or have been injured, you deserve a chance to have your story heard and be listened to.

It can be difficult to get a doctor to spend more than 15 minutes with you nowadays (and doctors are much more likely to prescribe pills or recommend surgery, instead of taking the time to figure out the true “root” of the issue).

But at Balance and Body, we understand every single person that walks into our clinic is different, and had a unique history, body type, and also set of goals and desires…

Which is why our very first step, before we begin any form of treatment is to get to know you better.

We WILL take the time to listen to you, and your story, and fully try understand what you’re going through, and the frustrations you may have…

And also learn what your goals are, so we can create a highly personalized plan of action that is perfectly tailored to you and your needs.

We will create a plan that is catered around YOU.

And when it comes to making critical medical decisions about YOUR health and YOUR body, we want to make sure that we are a good fit for each other BEFORE we commit to anything.

Or goal is to first have an honest conversation about your health.

You can choose to believe it or not, but everything in our body is truly ‘connected’

One of the biggest mistakes so many people make is focusing on the ‘symptom’ of pain, without taking the time to properly evaluate and assess the true “root cause”

And THIS is the single biggest reason why so many people suffer from pain for much longer than they should.

What do I mean by the “root cause”?

The “Root Cause” of an injury can be one, or many parts of the body that may be stiff, weak, or lack the proper control which can cause other parts of your body to “compensate” and cause pain elsewhere.

What may be difficult for people to understand about these “root cause” areas is they may not actually be painful!

Some examples of this might be:

And often times it is problems with these "connections" or other non-painful parts of your body that are likely causing more pressure, strain and inflammation to be building up elsewhere.

How do we figure out the root cause of YOUR injury?

In order to figure out what these “root causes” are for you, and your body…

We will take you through a full-body movement analysis.

What’s in a movement analysis?

This is to ensure every single possible connection within your body is properly assessed, in order to give you the best possible shot at not only relieving your pain, but to give you a proper understanding of WHY the pain is happening in the first place.

And the best part is, we offer this movement assessment for FREE as part of your initial “Discovery Visit” with us!

In step two, we identify the “root causes” of your pain through our full-body movement analysis. This allows us to focus on the KEY areas of YOUR body that we believe to be causing your pain or injury.

In step 3, our goal is to then reduce, and eliminate your pain with movement BEFORE you start to move or exercise.

Sadly, I hear of too many people suffering from pain for much longer than they should because they are told to “stretch” or “exercise” to get rid of the pain.

But that similar to having a broken car that will just fix itself by “driving it around a little”…

Which is why step 3, it is critical to first ELIMINATE your pain with movement, and “fix” the parts of your body that may not be working properly.

How do we do this?

Through something we call “Manual Therapy”

At Balance and Body, our therapists are like “body mechanics” where we either use our hands, or our tools to help loosen, or unlock joints, muscles, or other areas of your body that are stiff, achy or cranky.

You see, when chronic stiffness, or injuries occur, your body will develop problems such as:

These types of problems make it very difficult for your body the way it was intended, and end up causing problems in other parts of your body.

But through our manual therapy techniques, we are able to quickly locate, and “loosen” or “fix” these parts of the body so it can start to move the way it was intended.

Some of these techniques include:

Will these techniques hurt?

A common question that gets asked is whether these types of treatments “hurt” or will cause “more pain” or will make your “bones crack”.

I want to assure you that is NOT the case here.

While these techniques may sometimes cause a small bit of pain, and a bit of soreness, it usually comes in that form of “good pain” in that you know something positive is happening inside your body.

But I also want you to know that YOU will be in control of what happens to your body.

Before we perform ANY treatment, we will take the time to thoroughly explain every single technique or treatment to you, and how you will benefit from it, to make sure you understand and feel comfortable with our methods.

Our manual therapy techniques separate us from other clinics that may be more “exercise” based, because it will help you restore mobility, and get rid of pain QUICKLY without having to do a ton of stretching or exercise.

Many people aged 45+ who struggle with pain or injury may be told:

“just start exercising”

“You need to strengthen your muscles”

“do some more walking and some light stretches”

However, if you are in pain, or have been injured, exercise is not something that should be taken for granted.

Yes, exercise IS an important aspect of healing from injury, but we often see, and hear of people that do the “wrong exercise” or don’t understand how to exercise with “proper form” which often leads to more pain and injury down the line.

Which is why at balance and body our ‘exercise’ programs are specifically catered to your needs.

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy bring advanced knowledge of biomechanics, exercise physiology, kinesiology and neuroscience into designing your program.

What does that mean for you?

The goal of exercising is not only to make you “stronger” but so you can feel confident, and comfortable with your movement again.

After performing our evaluation, getting rid of your pain with movement, and helping you restore your mobility through exercise, we also want to make sure we have helped you achieve the goals you wanted in the first place!

So the last step is to make sure you have received the transformation you’ve been looking for.

The body, mind, and human spirit is not something that should be underestimated. There is potential for improvement at every step of the way, despite even in the worst of conditions.

We have been witness to people who have avoided back surgeries, even when doctors have said nothing else can be done…

We have seen people diagnosed with severe arthritis of their knees be able to hike Maccu Piccu WITHOUT needing a knee replacement

We have seen grandmothers go back to playing with their grandkids at the park without ANY worry of their body going out, even though months before they were bed-bound, or in tears just trying to stand up straight.

We promise that there will be NO quick fix, magic pill, or silver bullet to complex problems.

But what we DO promise is to use every single tool, resource and ounce of knowledge that we possess, in order to make improvements in how you move, how you feel, so that you can achieve the outcome you are looking for.

We are NOT a clinic that uses a few machines, or gives out sheets of exercises.

We ARE a clinic that specializes in doing everything and anything possible within our scope of practice to help people make significant transformations within their confidence, mobility, and quality of life…Without needing to take pills or have unnecessary surgery…even if all other conservative options have failed.
