Our Services
Here are the services that TSL offers in order to get you back and better than ever as quickly as possible!
Dry Needling
Physical therapists can reduce pain and enhance function with the use of dry needling. To help release muscle tension and trigger points, your TSL therapist inserts a small needle into the muscle. Dry needling can help reduce discomfort, increase range of motion, and strengthen muscles. Acupuncture, a type of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is not the same as dry needling. In the hands of your TSL therapist, dry needling is a complete game changer! To learn more about how you can benefit from dry needling, please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics.
Functional Movement Analysis
Your TSL therapist can perform functional movement analysis as a service to you to help you perform better in particular sports or activities. This service entails evaluating a patient's movement patterns to identify any that might need special attention. Muscle imbalances brought on by improper movement patterns could possibly develop into pain and/or injury. Patients can optimize their overall movement and function and possibly avert an injury by having any underlying problems corrected. Those who desire to enhance their performance in a particular sport or activity and increase their chances of avoiding injuries or pain might benefit the most from this. To learn more about how you can benefit from Functional Movement Analysis, please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment
For patients that are in pain, therapists may employ the Selective Functional Movement Assessment, or SFMA, to assess a patient's movement patterns. Your TSL therapist can then relate how an aberrant movement pattern may be contributing to your pain or injury once it has been recognized. This service can assist in identifying the source of a patient's pain and the best course of treatment (Spoiler Alert: the body part that complains the most isn't usually the problem). SFMA is frequently employed to assist people with chronic pain since it can be utilized to identify the cause of the pain and create a plan of care to deal with it. To learn more about how you can benefit from this service, please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics.
Cupping
Cupping is a type of therapy that has been utilized for ages by ancient societies. In order to produce suction, your TSL therapist will place cups on your skin, and the skin and underlying tissue are gently drawn up into the cup via the suction. The cups may be moved around the designated area or kept in position for up to a few minutes. By increasing blood flow and relaxing tight muscles, cupping is used to prepare the body for therapeutic exercise, additional manual therapy or to improve recovery. Although it is frequently used to treat pain, it can also be used to treat other problems like migraine headaches, exhaustion, and anxiety. To learn more about how cupping may help your condition, please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
At TSL Sport Therapeutics, we also provide instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) which is a type of massage therapy. IASTM can be used to treat several ailments, including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon issues, and other soft tissue injuries. IASTM includes mobilizing soft tissue with specialized tools to assist in the healing process via increased blood flow to the affected area. IASTM can also help the body to repair tissues, which can help to improve range of motion and reduce pain.
Sports Rehabilitation
Here at TSL Sport Therapeutics, we offer sports rehabilitation to help you recover from sports related injuries and improve your physical performance. This typically entails creating a specialized rehabilitation plan that fosters mobility, stability, strength, and endurance-all while collaborating with your coaches and trainers to enhance athletic performance. Following an injury, sports rehabilitation can help you resume your prior level of sport activity and help you become better equipped to address potential future issues.

Pre-Surgical Rehabilitation
Pre-surgical rehabilitation can help you get stronger and be better prepared for your day to day following your surgery. At TSL, we can create a program for you including manual therapy, strength training, endurance training, and range-of-motion exercises that will enhance the results of your surgery, and improve your outcome-the stronger you go into surgery, the quicker you can bounce back! According to studies, patients who receive pre-surgical rehabilitation experience less discomfort and recover from surgery more quickly. To learn more about how pre-surgical rehabilitation can benefit you, please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics.
Blood Flow Restriction
BFR training is frequently used with clients at TSL Sport Therapeutics who want to get stronger and heal quickly. BFR can be utilized as a stand-alone modality or in conjunction with conventional resistive exercise routines. There is evidence to suggest that blood flow restriction (BFR) training can be a highly effective strategy for enhancing muscle strength and growth as well as increasing tissue regeneration and recovery after injury. The advantages of BFR training have been extensively studied in recent years. A favorable environment for muscle growth and repair is created by BFR via the occlusion (restriction) of blood flow to the active and adjacent muscles. To learn if BFR is right for you, please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics.
Concussion Treatment
As physical therapists, we can help with concussion management. Concussion treatment is a service that we provide to clients that helps them recover from a concussion. A concussion is a type of brain injury that can occur after a blow to the head. Symptoms of a concussion can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. At TSL we can help a client recover from a concussion by helping to reduce the symptoms associated with mild traumatic brain injury.
Athletic Venue/Team Coverage
Athletic venue and/or team coverage typically refers to time spent assisting athletes with injury care and consulting in settings where athletes train and compete, such as intramural, collegiate, Olympic, and professional contests. It can also pertain to assisting in a pre-participation physical, providing support to medical personnel during organized marathons, triathlons, and cycle races as well as holiday 5Ks, and/or timed-obstacle course races.
At TSL we are also able to help with managing injuries and providing care for tactical athletes or military personnel during exercises like combative training, evolutions of group physical training, and obstacle courses.
Active Release Technique
COMING SOON!!!! Active Release Technique (ART) is a type of manual therapy that is often used to treat soft tissue injuries. Your TSL therapist will apply pressure and stretch the tissue in a specific way to release adhesions and restore normal movement. This treatment can be effective for many different types of injuries, including repetitive strain injuries, sports injuries, and back pain. To learn more about when ART will be available please contact us here at TSL Sport Therapeutics for more information.
