At Fusion we don't chase pain. We find and treat the source.
One of the many things that sets Fusion Physical Therapy apart from other area physical therapy clinics is our unique approach to the evaluation and treatment of our patients. Our goal is to transform each of our patients into the best possible version of themselves . From young competitive athletes to active seniors, our goal is optimal performance to allow each of our patients to get back to life, work, sports, or whatever their individual goals may be.
We apply the phrase "Move Well....Get Strong.....Kick Butt" to each and every patient we care for.
Move Well.....
Unlike many rehab approaches which simply address a patients symptoms, we begin the evaluation and treatment process by ensuring that our patients "Move Well". All of our patient evaluations include a functional movement assessment. We don't just poke and prod at the painful area, but actually analyze the way each patient moves. Movement assessment is key, because pain that a patient is experiencing in one area may actually be the end result of a lack of mobility or strength in an area other than where the pain is experienced. Movement riddled with compensation and inefficiency can over time result in tissue irritation, joint degradation, and persistent pain. To treat the symptom without addressing the source is to simply apply a bandaid to the problem. The patient may feel better temporarily, but the problem is never truly resolved. The clinicians at Fusion Physical Therapy will apply any number of different techniques, from hands on manual therapy, to dynamic taping, and corrective exercise prescription, in order to eliminate compensation and resolve movement deficiencies.
Get Strong.....
Once we have assured that a patient is able to "Move Well", our focus becomes to help that patient "Get Strong". Strengthening patterns of movement that have been restored to optimal quality, through resistance exercise, is a key to ensuring great performance. Performance is a variable that can differ dramatically from patient to patient. For some of our patients, performance is being able to return to competitive sports in high school or college, while for others it means being able to rise from a chair independently. Whatever the goal, strength applied to proper movement is key.
KICK BUTT
With our strong background in Strength and Conditioning and performance training, our last goal is to help each and every patient "Kick Butt". What it means to "Kick Butt", can vary widely from patient to patient. We're not happy unless our athletes leave our facility feeling stronger and better conditioned than they felt even prior to injury. We'll work tirelessly to help our active senior patients get back onto the golf course to play 18 holes instead of 9. Whatever the goal, whether grand or small, it is our mission to help each of our patients "Kick Butt" in whatever passion or personal goal they strive for.
