Developmental Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization is a manual and rehabilitative approach to optimize the movement system based upon the scientific principles of developmental kinesiology. DNS is rapidly gaining attention and acceptance in the sports rehabilitation and performance arena for both the recovery from musculoskeletal overuse injuries and in injury prevention. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization demonstrates applications in rehabilitation, recovery from overuse injuries, and role in return to athletic performance. A key premise of the DNS approach is that every joint position depends on stabilizing muscle function and coordination of both the local and distant muscles in order to ensure neutral or centered position of joints in the kinetic chain.

Muscle Release Soft Tissue Therapy
A manual muscle release technique used to treat and relieve pain associated with dysfunctions of soft-tissue injuries. Soft tissue refers to a muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, and or nerves, and the premise is that tissue density builds up at the injury site that can trap nerves, reduced frictionless movement of tendons, ligaments, and muscles thus making them work less efficient. Treatment has been shown to minimize time away from work, return you to an optimal state, and help resolve symptoms in about 2-4 weeks.
Electrotherapy / IFC / TENS
There are various forms of electric therapy that have been shown to have effects on pain relief, muscle activation and re-strengthening, promoting the reduction of inflammation within injured tissue, and being used as an aid in rehabilitation to help regain optimal muscle strength. Types of electrotherapy include: Interferential Current, Transcutaneous ElectroNeural Stimulation (TENS), Microcurrent Threapy and Russian stimulation.
