Redefining Rehab and Performance
Julie Sergent, PT, DPT is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and specializes in disorders of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Dr. Sergent takes a special interest in pain management through use of manual therapy techniques to normalize joint motion and muscle tissue. Even those with chronic and often times debilitating diagnoses such as spinal stenosis, disc bulges/herniations, & ligamentous instability, can achieve relief and remain physically active.
1:1 treatment sessions focus on decreasing active trigger points and working through specific strength imbalances. Dr. Sergent prescribes individualized exercise and recovery programs and provides adequate guidance on exercise modification to keep you moving. In most cases, patients may continue with their desired exercise or training programs with the addition of corrective exercises and soft tissue management strategies. Dr. Sergent guides patients throughout their recovery and equips them to recognize differences in pain so they may take the proper steps next time an injury strikes. Once the initial complaint is resolved, Dr. Sergent encourages wellness or routine visits (usually every 4-6 wks) to maintain good soft tissue health and keep you performing at your maximum potential.
