• Again, every patient is different, so this depends on the injury and the patient. Most of the time, if you are consistently doing mobility and stability work on your own, you shouldn’t need us. Many of our competitive athletes come in for care prior to events and competitions even if there is no active injury, but that all depends on the patient and the area of issue.
  • We highly recommend working with coaches and personal trainers to help keep your stability intact. Most people work out on their own and this can result in improper mechanics and movement patterns that hurt more than they help.   Working with someone who is trained to look out for, and change faulty movement is invaluable. It also helps to have people who can offer modifications for movements that might be painful or inappropriate.  We work with several fantastic trainers and coaches.  If you would like more information, please let us know.
  • We also highly recommend massage work to maintain soft tissue mobility. We feel that a more therapeutic massage is more helpful for keeping you fully mobile and pain free. While our therapists can perform relaxing massages, we offer massage therapy here at Spinal Care with a specific focus on deeper and more therapeutic work. See the “Staff” page on our website to learn more about our licensed massage therapists who have been described as “the best ever” “massage ninjas”. Try them out and see for yourself- see if you can come up with a better term than “massage ninja”.
