Performance Physical Therapy

Performance physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy services focused on enhancing an individual's physical performance and optimizing their functional abilities. It is often sought by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals looking to improve their overall physical capabilities.

Performance physical therapy is not limited to elite athletes; it can benefit anyone looking to improve their physical capabilities, whether for sports, recreational activities, or daily life. The key to success in performance physical therapy is the collaboration between the patient and therapist to achieve optimal performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall well-being.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles, which are a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis. These muscles play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including supporting the pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum), controlling bowel and bladder function, and contributing to sexual function.

Dry needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to address muscular pain and dysfunction. It involves the insertion of thin, solid needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into specific points within muscle tissues, trigger points, or myofascial bands to release tension and alleviate pain. We at Sisu PT also utilize electrical stimulation in congruence with our dry needling technique.

Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a manual therapy technique we utilize to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those related to soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments. IASTM involves the use of specialized instruments to assess and address soft tissue dysfunction and improve tissue health. Here's a description of the technique: Useful, but not limited to these conditions:

• Myofascial pain syndromes

• Tendinopathies (such as Achilles tendinopathy or tennis elbow)

• Soft tissue injuries and strains

• Post-surgical scar tissue

• Chronic pain conditions

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an alternative therapy with a long history, dating back thousands of years in various cultures, including traditional Chinese medicine and Middle Eastern traditional medicine. This therapy involves the use of special cups to create suction on the skin's surface. Cupping is believed to have several potential benefits including pain relief.

Remote Therapeutic programing

Through a specific zoom - or in person - we are able to perform an evaluation and determine the best course of care for our clients. We will then use an app where we will have multiple touch points a week with your physical therapy doctor to adjust and progress your custom program… all virtually! You don't even need to be in the South Jersey area to benefit from our services!
