THERAPY

Integrated Sports Therapy, as practiced at our clinic, blends the principles of sports medicine and rehabilitation with the precision of manual therapy and acupuncture to provide a targeted treatment for chronic pain, sports injuries, and athletic performance. By combining advanced sports therapy techniques, such as: sports massage, corrective exercise, stretch therapy, dry needling, biomechanical assessment, and cupping, we offer a holistic and individualized treatment plan. Our goal is to promote recovery, prevent injury, and optimize your physical capabilities by addressing each client’s unique needs and health objectives. Whether you’re an athlete or simply dealing with chronic pain, our Integrated Sports Therapy approach supports your journey to improve strength, function, and athletic achievement.

Compared to physical therapy, our practice emphasizes specialized techniques like sports massage, dry needling, cupping, biomechanical assessment, and corrective exercise strategies to relieve chronic pain, optimize muscle function, prevent injury, and improve overall performance. We differ from Traditional Acupuncture by blending elements of sports medicine for a unique tailed treatment. Unlike Traditional Acupuncture, which often focuses on energy flow and ancient pathophysiological models, our method is rooted in anatomical science. This allows us to pinpoint precise trigger points and soft tissue directly affecting your recovery. This holistic and integrated approach ensures that treatment is customized to your individual anatomy and specific needs, offering a more comprehensive and effective path to recovery and peak performance.

We offer a combination of Stretch Therapy, Sports Massage, Biomechanical Assessment, Corrective Exercise, Cupping, Gua Sha/Scraping, Sports Acupuncture, Athletic Periodization Coaching, and Nutritional Counseling.

Our principal clinician Domenick Barbo is a Licensed Acupuncturist with additional post-graduate training in Sports Medicine and a long history in orthopedic therapy. Our other associates have either licenses in Massage Therapy, or certifications in Personal Training or both.

After your Integrated Sports Therapy treatment, follow-up care is crucial to maintain the benefits and continue improving. We recommend incorporating prescribed corrective exercises into your daily routine to build strength, enhance flexibility, and correct movement patterns. Gentle stretching can also help maintain muscle elasticity. Hydration and a balanced diet will support muscle recovery and reduce inflammation. Additionally, scheduling periodic maintenance sessions for sports massage or some of our other services can keep muscle tone where we want it. For optimal results, it’s essential to continue any lifestyle or time management recommendations given during your sessions, ensuring that your recovery and performance goals align with your daily activities. Our team is always available for guidance and to adjust your care plan as your needs evolve.

Frequency of treatment depends on the severity of your condition or performance goals. The wider the gap, the more frequent therapy will be beneficial. Commonly, we see clients on a bi-weekly, weekly, or twice weekly basis, with many deciding to regularly maintain their progress after treatment on a monthly or more frequent schedule.

To determine if your progress is on track, we’ll work together to set clear, measurable goals based on your individual needs and fitness objectives.
