We’re not your typical physical therapy clinic

We’re on a mission to make physical therapy fun

Physical therapy usually means that you are hurt or injured and are about to endure weeks of pain, all while sitting out on what you love to do.

General PT will normally be provided by someone who has no knowledge of the physical needs of a high-level competitive cheerleader. Cheerleading has been associated with some of the highest level of injuries for young females and yet, cheerleading receives no specific care and PT training.

We’re here to change that.

Our unique, personalized approach to physical therapy at West & Well is unlike any other. We look beyond the surface to the root of the injury and dysfunction. We want to personalize your treatment plan to your specific needs and incorporate methods that are unique to your sport and body. This can even start before injury occurs in your recovery and wellness.

Oh and did I mention we do it in a super fun and energetic manner located conveniently inside of the cheer gym? Long gone are the days where you dread going to therapy!

Integrative Physical Therapy

physical therapy, done differently

Starting with your primary concern we will do a thorough movement assessment looking at strength, range of motion, mobility, and fascial restrictions. This assessment will utilize traditional physical therapy methods as well as the suspension based Redcord system. Findings will be discussed and a treatment will be provided as well as a personalized plan of care moving forward!

what in the world is redcord?

The Redcord suspension system we have in our clinic sets us apart from traditional physical therapy. Redcord is an innovative tool that utilizes bungees, ropes, and slings to activate the neuromuscular system, address muscular imbalances, enhance functional strength and improve flexibility. Making it a perfect tool for cheerleaders, gymnasts and dancers! To learn more about Redcord, read my blog post linked below

Proper recovery is vital to success as an athlete. It has been shown to prevent injury, optimize performance, enhance muscle repair and growth, and aid in overall long-term development and well being.

We are really excited about this service and hope it is a place to socialize and take care of yourself!

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    “My daughter suffered a quad injury at cheer practice a few weeks before a big competition and Karri was an absolute life saver! She used dry needling and cupping on her quad and it made a world of difference and allowed her to compete with confidence at the competition. Karri’s vast knowledge and superior communication is an asset in the wellness injury, we highly recommend her services.” – Susan N.
