We are a private one on one, Athletic Therapy and Performance Enhancement Studio. We specialize in Injury Assessment, Rehabilitation, 3D Gait Analysis and Functional Movement Evaluation.
O
Optimal Assessment - Our belief is that muscle and joint pain is most often caused by muscular imbalances or asymmetries within our body. Therefore, our initial assessment is an extensive 1.25 hour one-on-one evaluation that focuses on all four pieces of your injury puzzle; biomechanics, strength, flexibility, and alignment.
P
Performance Evaluation - The human body is a sum of it’s parts and they all must work in harmony. We use a comprehensive functional movement evaluation to identify your subtle imbalances during movement.
T
Treat the Imbalances - OPTM’s holistic approach to treatment focuses on the root cause of the injury or condition, rather than treating it’s symptoms. Once we have identified the imbalances, correcting them requires our indepth understanding of joint motion, muscle function, and the neurology that controls the musculoskeletal system. We achieve this by using a combination of Manual Therapy Techniques (muscle energy, Active Release Techniques®) and Exercise Therapy Techniques.
M
Movement Enhancement - It is not about how much or how far we move, but how well we move. Upon completion of the treatment we will have successfully taught the body to move properly, and enhanced it’s ability to maintain proper alignment. The final step is to incorporate the body’s ability to generate strength and power without compromising biomechanics. We accomplish this by designing a muscle reconditioning program, based on Scott and Jamie Livingston's reconditioning methods. This is how OPTM will achieve it’s primary goal of injury prevention as we want all of our clients to participate in the activities they love, free from pain and injury.
