Test don’t Guess 🧠

At Revival, we ensure that we are testing impairments objectively to

• Establish a true baseline for strength
• Find true impairments vs perceived limitations

This guides our treatment decision making process to ensure we are providing the stimulus to the target tissue vs prescribing generic exercise. This allows us to track progress to ensure we are breaking through plateaus 


We are performance driven Physical Therapy ‼️

If you’re hung up with pain or limitation and are tired of guessing, give us a call 💪

Did you know that we typically use E-stim with dry needling?

Check out some of the benefits ⬇️

1.) Enhanced Pain Modulation
    •    E-stim activates the body’s descending inhibitory pathways, helping block pain signals at the spinal cord level (Gate Control Theory).
    •    Increases endogenous opioid release (endorphins, enkephalins), leading to longer-lasting pain relief than dry needling alone.

2.) Improved Muscle Activation & Relaxation
    •    Can either activate inhibited muscles (low-frequency stimulation) or relax overactive muscles (high-frequency stimulation).
    •    This dual effect makes it versatile for both tight, spasmed muscles and those suffering from weakness or delayed firing patterns.

3.) Increased Local Blood Flow & Tissue Healing
    •    Stim promotes vasodilation, boosting oxygen and nutrient delivery to the targeted area.
    •    Helps flush out inflammatory byproducts like substance P and cytokines, which can reduce post-treatment soreness and accelerate healing.

4.) Greater Trigger Point Deactivation
    •    Needling disrupts dysfunctional motor endplates; adding e-stim prolongs and intensifies this effect.

4.) Neuromodulation for Chronic Pain
    •    Repeated electrical pulses can “reset” altered pain processing patterns in the central nervous system.
    •    Particularly beneficial for patients with central sensitization or persistent pain states.

We have been getting wonderful results in the clinic using this therapy. Ready to try it out for yourself? Let us know!

We had a blast participating in the CACJ’s Inaugural Pickle Ball Tournament! The good guys finished second place (🙁) and learned a lot. A fun night supporting a great cause!
