The old Way

Mobility &

Pain Rehab

You go to a therapist, they put a heating pad on the area that hurts, then a TENS unit (electrotherapy), followed by same basic stretch or band exercise that they give every one else. Hardly spending any one-on-one time with you. Conventional approaches for many disciplines are unfortunately too passive.

The New way

Specifically locate your pain-generating tissue (muscle, joint or ligament) using a systematic approach to help you find your own issues in the future. Treating it with manual hands-on soft-tissue therapy. Followed by individualized exercises directed to guide healing of that specific tissue so that the results stick long term - giving you the tools to recover on your own and rely less on us.

Pain Rehab

We aid in the recovery from a variety of injuries and health-related conditions that range from:

Neuromusculoskeletal issues

• Chronic Pain Syndromes
  
• Headaches/migraines
• TMJ dysfunction
• Disc Hernations
  
• Radicular (nerve) pain
• Joint Dysfunction of Ribs, Spine, Extremities
  
• Neuropathy (nerve) pain (e.g., sciatica)
• Scheuermann's Disease
• Scoliosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spinal Canal Stenosis
• many others...
  

Mobility &

Soft-tissue injuries

Related to injuries caused by trauma, overuse (or repetitive stress), poor posture (sustained stress), sudden uncoordinated movement, or normal activity with unnstable spine.

Compensatory movement patterns

Related to previous injuries and/or poor posture and body alignment issues

"Take a sponge and soak it in a bucket of water and you'll find it absorbs 100% of its capacity. But if you take that same sponge, tear it apart, put it together with cement, and then try to soak it in a bucket of water and you'll find it absorbs less than 100% of its capacity.

You can't just keep dumping the cement-filled sponge in a bucket and expect the capacity to improve (many treatment approaches) but instead, you have to break up the cement (improve the capacity of the tissues to do their job)."

Mobility &

Performance Training

Our focus is to build the pre-requisites for you to move and develop the capacity for you to avoid injury.

Many people believe in going to see their family physician for an annual check-up (aka a physical). What we do is perform a “physical physical” to help identify which joint may be breaking down – due to sedentary jobs or lifestyles (ie, office workers, drivers) and/or overtraining – before the inevitable injury occurs.

What are the prerequisites for movement?

1. Each joint must have active range of motion required in the movement WITHOUT load.
• If you can't bend your knees past 90 degrees while you are standing, its not a mystery as to why you cannot squat and are likely causing your tissues harm.
  
2. The tissues involved in the movement must be able to absorb the load required in the movement.
   
• If you cannot squat 200 lbs, you should not try to squat 300 lbs.
  

Skipping out on any prerequisites of movement will most likely lead to an injury and it should not be a mystery to you now when it happens. The fitness and health industry unfortunately jumps to the illogical conclusion that the 'movement' is unsafe and contraindicated. It's the lack of your tissues being prepared for the movement that causes harm, not the movement itself!

Mobility &

Performance Training

"Mobility training is a lot like 'Trail Maintenance'. Most of us may have pretty decent walking paths (joints). We can get from point A to point B without any major obstacles - no big rocks, trees or rivers along the way.

Over time, bushes and branches begin to grow in towards our path way (e.g. muscle imbalances from poor posture, injuries etc.). We can even maneuver around these obstacles if need be (poor exercise form). Eventually without proper maintenance, however, our pathway can get blocked (joint pain, performance plateau, further injuries).

By regularly cutting back the bushes and branches, four feet away from our nice gravel walking path, we can ensure we can always get from point A to point B"

"Have seen tons of heath professionals over the years such as traditional physio, chiro, RMT, acupuncture and even IMS.

Vick has been able to target my exact pains that I have been complaining about. He has better helped me understand my body and manage my pain. He has significantly improved my range of motion."

"The treatment I've received here has greatly improved my functionality and ability to train. Highly recommended."

- S.M.

"Vick will help you feel better than you ever have before. His knowledge and hands on approach has helped my body get in better shape than it has ever been in.

He found those areas on my body that were troubled, helped me heal those areas, and most importantly, gave me the knowledge that I needed to continue keeping myself healthier, stronger, and feeling more positive. My body runs much more efficiently now."
