Our Services
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy assists individuals by developing, maintaining, and restoring body movement and physical function. As physical therapists, we can help you recover from injury, relieve pain, restore function, prevent further injury and manage chronic conditions. Our ultimate goal is to improve your health and quality of life so you can thrive.
Functional Exercise
Functional exercises train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common activities you do at home, work, or in sports. While using various muscles in your upper and lower extremities at the same time, the movements emphasize core stability, coordination and balance.
Integrated Manual Therapy (IMT)
Thrive Integrative Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab incorporates Integrated Manual Therapy (IMT), a complementary, holistic approach which serves as another tool for treatment in orthopedic physical therapy. The treatment method focuses on structure and function of the patient’s injured area but also takes into consideration the multiple system of the body which need to work together efficiently to allow the body to heal.
IMT consists of gentle, non-invasive hands-on techniques used to correct dysfunctional movement patterns. Trauma or injury can cause tissue damage and the body will protect that area through reflexive pain mechanisms that reduce ranges of motion and function. By addressing the protective mechanisms, the source of the problem can be addressed. This philosophy allows us to effectively treat complicated orthopedic patients that may not have gotten better with other therapy techniques, such as modalities. IMT techniques address structural dysfunction using specific directional forces or torques on tissue, similar to strain-counterstrain (SCS), which creates an environment for healing. The therapist manipulates the tissue to create a fulcrum in which the structure can elongate, decompress, and normalize. By addressing the protective mechanisms and correcting the structural problems, patients are better able to tolerate other treatments, such as exercise and joint mobilizations. Patients are then able to strengthen and move in a pain free functional pattern, one they may not have been previously able to do.
IMT techniques can be used to address a wide range of patient problems including post-surgical, chronic and acute pain, orthopedic and neurological conditions. The experienced therapists at Thrive Integrative Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab utilize IMT techniques to provide a comprehensive treatment plan through problem solving and one-on-one care. Our approach has been successful and we look forward to helping our patients reach their goals for rehabilitation.

Dry needling is a procedure that involves puncturing the skin with thin filiform needles for therapeutic purposes. The physical therapist uses this needle to stimulate myofascial trigger points, which are areas of tension within the muscle tissue. The aim of this treatment is to manage musculoskeletal pain and movement issues. Benefits include ease of joint and muscle pain, loosen stiff muscles which allow quicker recovery, increase in range of motion and flexibility, promotes healthy blood flow, improve oxygen circulation.

If your doctor recommends aquatic therapy for arthritis, post-surgical rehab, back pain, chronic pain, etc.; we can help. Performing physical therapy in the water can be beneficial for a variety of individuals with neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disorders. Aquatic therapy differs from land therapy because of the specific properties of water. These unique properties decrease joint compression forces, may reduce inflammation and provide feedback for improving posture. The resistance of the water during therapy provides a safe environment for addressing balance, strength and postural deficits. For those who may have difficulty exercising on land, aquatic therapy provides a comfortable and therapeutic medium in which to gain strength and endurance. The initial physical therapy evaluation takes place in the physical therapy gym, where you’re evaluated and your treatment goals and plan of care are established. If aquatic therapy is right for you, your therapist will recommend follow-up physical therapy sessions in the water. It’s not necessary to know how to swim before starting an aquatic therapy program. A physical therapist will direct your treatment session from the side of the pool. Once your aquatic goals are achieved, the program progresses to land-based focus as needed.

The Trager Approach is a gentle, mindful movement and touch therapy that helps release deep-seated tension and rediscover ease in the body and mind. Developed by Dr. Milton Trager, this method blends rhythmic, wave-like movement and conscious awareness to create lasting changes in how you feel and move. The Trager Approach is recognized as a form of Somatic Movement Education and Therapy, valuable in support of trauma recovery. Benefits include deep relaxation and reduced stress, improved mobility and posture, relief from chronic tension or pain, enhanced body awareness and balance, and freer sense of movement.
