WHY CHOOSE US?

Traditional Physical Therapy consists of spending $20-$75 on co-pays, 2-3 times a week, for 4-12 weeks with initial treatment by a physical therapist, and follow-ups from either another physical therapy, a physical therapist assistant or even a technician after that, who is seeing 2 or more other patients at the same time. This model leads to poor care, an extended time spent attending sessions, and more money spent by the client to achieve the same positive outcomes, if they are ever reached.
At Body WoRx, we do not accept insurance. Insurance is responsible for the restrictions that limit the quality of care traditionally given in our inefficient health care system. After an initial evaluation, clients can receive treatment without a Physician’s referral regardless of the body part of parts. This means you won’t have to wait to see your Physician, or pay additional co-pays to get treatment.
Treatment times range from 30-90 minutes to accommodate the needs of the client and can be flexibly scheduled during early morning, evening, or on weekends to work with your schedule.

Brian Fox“Talayna has been there, done that, probably broke that and had to fix it for herself! She is a premier athlete that truly understands how the body works!! That translates to personal care for you from an unmatched knowledge base. She’s straight forward and gets to the point. If you can listen and follow through she never gives up until your performing in better balance than ever! Can’t recommend her and her work highly enough.”

TREATMENT TECHNIQUES

Myofascial Release

A select group of manual therapy techniques used
for lessening myofascial restrictions in the body which may cause movement impairment, decreased muscular strength/endurance, poor range
of motion, and referral pain patterns.

Cupping

Derived from ancient Chinese medicine, a cup is used to create local suction on the skin for the purpose of increasing blood flow, improving lymph flow, decreasing fascial restrictions, decreasing stiffness, and improving mobility.

Graston Technique

The use of a beveled edge metal tool to eliminate
the limitations caused by fascial restrictions and/or scar tissue. This allows for greater increases in range of motion, elimination of pain, and faster restoration of function.

Muscle Energy

A broad class of manual therapy techniques
directed at improving musculoskeletal function or joint function, and improving pain. They are typically done with the client moving through or resisting a range of motion while the therapist performs a joint mobilization or provides resistance.

Neuromuscular Reeducation

A series of therapeutic techniques chosen
to restore normal function of nerves and muscles. This includes restoration of proper motor control, balance, coordination, increased kinesthetic sense, and improved proprioception.

Corrective Exercise

A movement or exercise chosen to correct a
specific dysfunction. This can range from weakness, postural imbalance, to poor movement patterning in general. The goal being for the client to function pain free at their highest level through utilization of better movement.

Joint Mobilizations

The manual mobilization of a joint without the
patient’s volitional movement to encourage improved arthrokinematics (mobility patterning and range of motion) within the joint.

Stretching

Taking joints through their full ranges of motion both passively with the help of the therapist and actively with guidedinstruction.

Massage

Swedish, deep tissue, sports, trigger point, relaxation, all customizable.
Treatment techniques are selected on an individual basis and performed to restore optimal motion and decrease pain. More adequate motion is restored through neurologic adaptation, the removal of soft tissue adhesions and mobilization of restricted joints. With the joints and soft tissue movement restored, pain can be eliminated and the body able to excel at the demands placed upon it.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASER TOOLS

The Myofascial Releaser instrument enables the treatment of fascial restrictions and scar tissue thereby eliminating the limitations they cause. This allows for greater increases in range of motion, elimination of pain, and faster restoration of function.

CUPPING

Chinese cupping therapy is another form of myofascial release involving the decompression of restricted tissue to eliminate fascial adhesions and increase circulation, thereby promoting healing. The suction imposed, creates a negative pressure that is used to restore proper fascial and muscle tone, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue allowing greater flow of lymph and other circulatory fluids, bring hydration and blood flow to ischemic tissues, and help eliminate toxins and excess fluid by encouraging lymphatic drainage. Cupping can is versatile to most body parts and can be done with or without movement to accommodate for individual tolerance and comfort.

HYPERVOLT

Hypervolt massager uses advanced percussive frequency modulation therapy to decrease musculoskeletal pain. The Hypervolt has 3 settings making it adaptable to the client and a noise buffer for auditory comfort during treatment. It is extremely effective in utilizing neural pathways of vibration to allow the body to move without pain through greater ranges of motion following treatment.

KINESIOTAPE

Kinesiotape is a stretchable, breathable tape that can have positive affects on movement and the body during athletics and at rest. It provides the body with biomechanical feedback throughout movement that can be used to encourage the correction of faulty movement patterns, serve as a reminder for better postural habits, and alter mechanics enough to allow for greater pain free movement. Kinesiotape also lifts the skin lightly, providing less resistance to lymphatic flow and aiding in the body’s ability to heal through the clearance of inflammation and retained fluid/edema.
