Nicole is the best!! So knowledgeable, supportive and thorough. Her office is convenient and comfortable, and I loved chatting with her through the session. She got me back on the road with no pain. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

The Recovery Process

Click on a step to learn more.

- Pain Relief
  
  Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation are common goals in this phase of recovery. Injury protection, elevation, appropriate medications, compression, and patient education are important.
- Introduce Movement
  
  Pain-free passive, manual therapy, active range of motion, and cardiorespiratory exercises, are indicated here. Education about pain and a positive attitude may help.
- Strengthening
  
  Progressive loading of healing soft tissues, the reintroduction of low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities are part of this rehabilitation phase.
- Functional Retraining
  
  Progressing strengthening exercises, improving flexibility, and advanced balance exercises are part of phase 4. Resuming functional movement (e.g. sports movements) occurs in this phase.
- Recovery & Prevention
  
  Functional movements are progressed, a controlled re-introduction to sports or challenging environments is initiated. Continued strengthening, flexibility, balance, endurance, and goal-specific training occurs during this phase. Education and future injury prevention are discussed.
