What We Do

Our Four-Step Protocol:

Step 1: Find Imbalances

This is were we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your muscular, nervous and skeletal systems. At CCT we not only assess your upper and body strength, flexibility and joint mobility but also your overall proximal stability, neural tissue tension and ability to coordinate all these components and systems during functional movements. This allows us to best identify what your imbalances are and determine the root causes of your limitations.

Step 2: Patient Education

This is where we help you understand your muscle imbalances and where to go from here. We go over general anatomy, explain why your situation is happening, and dig into the appropriate modifications and performance of exercises. This knowledge empowers you to comprehend the rationale behind the treatments and exercises prescribed to you, and to make informed decisions that will aid you in achieving your wellness goals. With our guidance, you can confidently expand your knowledge and progress towards optimal health.

Step 3: Tackle Imbalances

This crucial phase involves crafting a personalized exercise regimen that incorporates targeted training and mobility techniques to alleviate discomfort and restore full function. This is the part that will help you get out of pain and back to consistently doing what you love.

Step 4: Physical Resilience

During this phase, we have already gotten you out of your initial pain and back on your fitness journey; now we work towards making continuous improvements and preventing the reoccurrence of your injury.

This is where we excel beyond other physical therapists - we are here for the long run, making sure you not only reach your goals but are able to maintain them. Incorporating soft tissue work, joint mobilizations, and/or dry needling are all ways we ensure your body is functioning optimally and able to withstand the demands of your workouts.

Our focus is on injury prevention, so you can continue to make progress without setbacks. With our expert guidance, you'll be able to maintain your gains and achieve your fitness goals for the long term.

Our Services

Together, we'll create a personalized plan to address your unique needs. We'll draw from the techniques below, combining them in a way that's most effective for your specific situation. Our goal is to maximize your results and help you feel your best.

Initial Evaluation - Injury Recovery

This evaluation is for individuals experiencing pain and involves a thorough assessment using special tests to diagnose the issue. We assess the area of pain and the surrounding body parts to understand the problem fully. During the assessment, we provide mobility interventions and a personalized home exercise program to address your pain and support your recovery, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and effective rehabilitation plan. All clients must complete an IE to continue PT services >30 days.

Dynamic Cupping

Cupping a therapeutic technique involving the application of suction cups in motion over the skin. This technique aims to enhance circulation, release muscle tension, and promote tissue mobility by creating a controlled gliding movement with the cups, facilitating a unique and effective form of myofascial release.

Dry Needling

Involves inserting a thin filiform “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, into areas of the skin and soft tissue structures to normalize and maintain muscle and tendon function. Dry needling helps improve ROM, muscle activation patterns, reduces inflammation, local and referred pain. Helps ease muscle strain due to injury.

Initial Evaluation - Full body assessment

Our wellness-focused assessment is a full-body evaluation that checks your range of motion (ROM), strength, joint mobility, and endurance. This comprehensive assessment is designed to give you a complete understanding of your physical health and identify any areas that may need improvement. Whether you’re looking to enhance your performance, prevent injury, or simply maintain your overall well-being, this assessment provides valuable insights to help you achieve your fitness and health goals.

Deep Tissue Mobilization

This deep-tissue technique addresses knots and adhesions by applying sustained pressure to the deeper layers of muscles and tissues. It releases chronic tension, alleviates muscle discomfort, enhances flexibility, and promotes faster recovery. It's a primary method used in our treatment sessions to address sports-related injuries and improve performance.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

IASTM involves the use of specialized tools to scrape over the skin's surface. This technique helps detect and treat areas of fascial restriction or scar tissue. By applying controlled pressure, scraping aims to stimulate healing, improve blood flow, and enhance flexibility, promoting overall soft tissue health.

Exercise Training

We help you improve how you move and coordinate your body through exercises and training. As you progress, we continually adjust and customize your routine to fit your needs, including mobility treatments if necessary, all aimed at getting you back to a level of movement that matters most to your daily life. Includes working on more higher level fitness components of fitness including coordination, speed, balance, and accuracy.

Passive Stretching & PROM

**Passive Stretching and Passive Range of Motion (PROM)** are hands-on physical therapy techniques where the therapist moves the patient’s muscles and joints without any active effort from the patient. Passive Stretching focuses on improving flexibility and alleviating muscle tightness by manually stretching the muscles to their full range, making it ideal for post-injury or post-surgery recovery. PROM involves the therapist gently moving the patient’s joints through their full range of motion,

Joint Mobilizations (Grades I-V)

Joint mobilizations are techniques used in manual therapy to improve joint function and decrease pain. The grading system, often referred to as Grades I to V, describes the intensity or force applied during the mobilization.

CrossFit Movement Assessment

This assessment is a comprehensive analysis of the key functional movements in CrossFit, designed to reduce injury risk and enhance performance. We evaluate 9-12 essential CrossFit movements, including air squats, push jerks, thrusters, snatches, pull-ups, and muscle-ups. The specific movements we assess will depend on your skill level. This assessment is based on the core components, common faults, and performance points outlined in the CrossFit Level One Handbook, combined with our expertise i

Positional Trigger Point Release

Positional trigger point release is a therapeutic technique used to alleviate muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves applying sustained pressure to specific points in muscles, known as trigger points, to release tension and improve muscle function. The goal is to reset the neuromuscular system, allowing the muscles to relax and promoting pain relief.

Cross-Friction Massage

This therapeutic technique is used to address soft tissue injuries and promote healing. It involves crosswise pressure to the fibers of muscles, tendons, or ligaments. The goal is to break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and stimulate the healing process.
