We start with identifying the root cause of your symptoms. Oftentimes our symptoms can develop and progress because of an underlying problem elsewhere. In order to get you better, we have to find the root cause.
In this stage, we treat the underlying issue to get your symptoms better. This can involve strengthening weak muscles, relaxing tight muscles, improving joint movement and coordination, and retraining how you move.
After identifying the root cause and alleviating your symptoms, we are ready to progress to the final phase. We want to keep you healthy and prevent your symptoms from returning.
This phase involves progressing safely back to exercise that you love, whether that's running a marathon or running after your kids! Feel yourself flourish through this stage of life.
