The clinic specializes in physical therapy services with an emphasis on orthopedic and sports related injuries. Peak Action Physical Therapy is committed to helping people improve their quality of life, eliminate pain, improve function, and return to their sport as quickly as possible. Our treatment approach consists of combining manual therapy techniques (Active Release Techniques, Graston) with specific rehab exercises designed specifically for each individual's needs.

Active Release Techniques:
A.R.T is a patented treatment technique used to diagnose and treat soft tissue injuries to muscles, tendons, fascia, and nerves. Injuries often occur due to repetitive strains, adhesions, tissue hypoxia, and joint dysfunction. Headaches, sciatica, back and neck pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, and tennis elbow are just a few of the diagnoses that can be treated with A.R.T. These conditions are often a result of overused muscles. Overuse syndromes can result in acute injuries (tears), repetitive motion injuries (accumulation of small tears), and tissue hypoxia (tissue does not get enough oxygen).
All of these lead to your body developing scar tissue which ties down tissue that needs to move freely to function properly. As scar tissue builds up muscles become weaker and shorter and nerves can become trapped. This can lead to decreased range of motion, pain, and decreased strength.
A.R.T treatments combine examination and treatment. The provider uses his or her hands to assess the texture, tightness, and mobility of muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Dysfunctional tissue is then treated using specific patient movements along with precisely generated tension by the practitioner.
Graston and S.A.S.T.M (sound assisted soft tissue mobilization):
Patented forms of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. Instruments are used to detect and break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Scar tissue develops as a result of surgery, immobilization, trauma, repetitive trauma, among other causes. These methods can be used to treat both acute and chronic conditions that lead to pain, reduced range of motion, and decreased strength. These methods work by inducing controlled microtrauma to the tissue as the scar tissue is broken down. This then creates a local inflammatory process that stimulates the healing process. Once the adhesions are broken down function of the involved tissue returns.
