Dry Needling – Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

IMS uses fine gauge monofilament needles to release trigger points in the muscle and connective tissue. In short, IMS increases blood flow to restore tissue health, which reduces tension and pain.

Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)

SFMA is a comprehensive system of assessment used to classify movement patterns and direct manual therapy and other therapeutic interventions. It takes into account an individual’s unique movement patterns and deficiencies for the purpose of restoring normal function.

CoreAlign at Valley Physical Therapy

The CoreAlign is an exciting piece of equipment being used in all three Valley Physical Therapy locations. It was developed in 2005 by a physical therapist as a way to strengthen core and limb musculature while maintaining ideal alignment in the standing position. The CoreAlign has 2 independent tracks and a workout ladder. The independent moving tracks can provide equal or separate resistance allowing free-flowing exercise. Strengthening occurs in the spine, arms and legs simulating functional movement patterns that can be simplified or progressed.

With proper instruction in ideal alignment during the exercise, the exercise itself can carry over into ideal function. Retraining pain free movement is the ultimate goal in physical therapy for everyone who comes through our door.
