Conditions

What we treat

Every condition below gets the same deal: a measured assessment, a plain-language explanation, a plan with a timeline, and a finish line. Jump to yours — or book and let the assessment sort it out.

Running injuries

Shin splints, ITB syndrome, runner's knee, plantar fasciitis — most running injuries are load problems, not doom. We find the mismatch between your training and your tissue capacity, then fix both.

How we approach it

Gait analysis on the treadmill, strength and capacity testing, a modified running plan (almost never full rest), and progressive loading of whatever's under-built.

Typical timeline: Most runners keep running, modified, from week one; full training typically resumes in 6–12 weeks.

Sounds like this?

Pain that shows up at a predictable distance
Aches that warm up mid-run, then bite afterwards
A niggle that's survived three pairs of shoes

Low-back pain

The most common thing we treat — and the most over-catastrophized. Most back pain is mechanical, changeable, and does best with early movement plus a graded plan.

How we approach it

Movement classification, hands-on treatment for the acute window, then the part most clinics skip: building the strength and hinge mechanics that stop the repeat flare-ups.

Typical timeline: Acute episodes often settle in 2–6 weeks; the strength phase is what protects the next six months.

Sounds like this?

Stiffness that's worst in the morning or after sitting
Pain with bending, lifting, or standing up
Flare-ups that keep repeating every few months

Neck pain & headaches

Cervicogenic headaches, tech-neck, and the knot between the shoulder blades that never leaves. The neck responds fast to the right combination of manual work and specific strengthening.

How we approach it

Cervical assessment, manual therapy or mobilization, deep-neck-flexor and scapular strengthening, plus workstation coaching that's actually realistic.

Typical timeline: Headache frequency usually drops within 3–4 weeks; strength work runs 6–8.

Sounds like this?

Headaches that start at the base of the skull
Pain turning your head to shoulder-check
Tension that rises with screen hours

Post-surgical rehab

ACL reconstruction, rotator-cuff repair, hip and knee replacement — surgery is the start line. What decides your result is the nine months after, and we treat that like a program, not a series of appointments.

How we approach it

Protocol-coordinated phases: protect, restore range, rebuild strength, then objective return-to-activity testing on the strength floor. We report progress back to your surgeon.

Typical timeline: Procedure-dependent — ACL programs run 9–12 months; joint replacements typically 3–6.

Sounds like this?

A surgery date on the calendar (prehab counts)
A protocol sheet from your surgeon
The gap between 'cleared' and 'confident'

Shoulder injuries

Rotator-cuff strains, impingement, frozen shoulder, instability. The shoulder trades stability for mobility, so rehab is about rebuilding control through range — patiently and progressively.

How we approach it

Differential assessment first (not every sore shoulder is a 'cuff tear'), then staged loading from isometrics to overhead strength, with manual therapy to keep range honest.

Typical timeline: Most rotator-cuff-related pain improves substantially in 8–12 weeks of loading.

Sounds like this?

Pain reaching overhead or behind your back
Night pain when you lie on that side
A shoulder that clicks, catches, or feels loose

Tendinopathy

Achilles, patellar, gluteal, tennis elbow — tendons hate two things: sudden spikes in load and total rest. Rehab is a loading program with a schedule, and it works.

How we approach it

Isometrics for pain relief, then a progressive heavy-slow-resistance program, calibrated weekly. Massage and needling support the plan; the loading is the plan.

Typical timeline: Tendons adapt slowly — expect a structured 12-week program with milestones at 4 and 8.

Sounds like this?

Pain that's worst first thing in the morning
Stiffness that eases as you warm up
A tender, sometimes thickened spot on the tendon

Ankle sprains

The most under-rehabbed injury in sport. 'Walk it off' is why one sprain becomes six — proper rehab restores the balance and reaction time the sprain erased.

How we approach it

Early protected movement, then balance and proprioception rebuilding, then hop and agility testing before you're cleared for court, trail, or pitch.

Typical timeline: Simple sprains: 2–6 weeks. Repeat offenders need the full 8-week stability build.

Sounds like this?

A rolled ankle, swollen and bruised
An ankle that gives way on uneven ground
Repeat sprains on the same side

Concussion

A hit to the head — or a whiplash without one — followed by fog, headache, dizziness, or light sensitivity. Modern care is active and system-by-system, not a dark room.

How we approach it

Full assessment of the vestibular, visual, cervical, and exertional systems, then graded rehab of each — with stepwise return-to-learn, work, and sport.

Typical timeline: Most recover in 2–4 weeks with active care; lingering cases respond well but need structure.

Sounds like this?

Headache, fog, or fatigue after an impact
Dizziness in busy visual environments
Symptoms lingering past two weeks

Desk-worker strain

Eight hours of stillness is a load your body wasn't built for. Neck, mid-back, wrist, and hip complaints from desk work respond fast to targeted strength plus realistic habit changes.

How we approach it

Find the tissues doing all the work, treat them, then build the two-minute movement habits and strength buffer that make the workday cheap again. No one is told to buy a $2,000 chair.

Typical timeline: Most desk-strain patterns turn around in 4–6 weeks.

Sounds like this?

Stiffness that builds through the workday
Headaches by late afternoon
A hip flexor pull when you finally stand up
