Freedom Starts With The Fascia!

What is myofascial?
As an aging athlete (owner Sandi Salazar, MSPT), it is what keeps me on the court competing. Traditional MFR elicits more pain in the already tight, painful and dysfunctional tissue causing patients to tense up and protectively guard the very tissue you are trying to lengthen and stretch. The John Barnes approach, on the contrary, utilizes light, sustained pressure eliciting the principles of the piezoelectric phenomena and mechanotransduction, affecting a biochemical response at the cellular level of the tissue, ultimately releasing the restrictions in the fascial system. Patients’ tolerate it well, structure and posture are improved (sometimes dramatically), and pain is alleviated.

Small Needle Big Results!

What is dry needling?
Dry needling is an intervention where a thin, flexible needle is inserted into a myofascial trigger point, or “muscle knot,” to elicit a twitch response, release muscular tension, and reduce pain.

How can dry needling help me?
Dry needling has the potential to facilitate a quick reduction in pain, tenderness, and improvement in mobility and function. Dry needling may be appropriate to incorporate into treatment for many conditions such as sciatica, tennis elbow, low back pain/tightness, knee pain, hip pain, calf pain/tightness, and more. Dry needling is a useful intervention to incorporate along with other areas of treatment such a myofascial release, cupping therapy, stretching, or targeted exercise to promote a long-lasting improvement.
60 minute intro service sessions $89 Combine needling with stretch therapy? Check out our website for options https://www.fyzical.com/phoenix/physical-therapy-services/fitness-wellness

"Nick was wonderful. He clearly explained what was causing the pain in my knee and what we were going to do to fix it. Now I am painless, even when running, jumping, or climbing. I highly recommend FYZICAL for any PT needs."

One Nation Under God!

The 4th of July is a symbol of freedom, liberty, and democracy for the United States. It represents the values of individual rights, the pursuit of happiness, and the ability to shape one's own destiny.

The 4th of July also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for American independence and the ongoing efforts to uphold its ideals.

"I have been going to Fyzical for the past three months due to the fact that I broke my left foot last year with required surgery, splint and cast for many months and was unable to put any weight on that foot.
This past year I had to have surgery on my right foot that required a revision. Again, I was immobile for several months.
In March I started physical therapy with Allison two times a week for the past three months.
Allison was very knowledgeable and patient.
I have now regained strength , mobility and balance.
I am now able to do everything I did prior to injuries.
I can now walk my large dog 4-5 miles a day and have returned to full work out at the gym.
I couldn't say enough good things about Fyzical and its nice clean facility!
Many thanks to them!"

June is National Migraine & Headache Awareness Month!
Did you know HEADACHES are one of the most common complaints, along with neck pain, we hear from our patients? Cervicogenic (muscle spasm) headaches tend to be the most common, and in many cases caused by issues with the neck, TMJ & poor posture. Sound familiar? Call us here at FYZICAL – Phoenix/Desert Ridge™. Our Physical therapist’s (Sandi, Allison & Nick) will look/listen to any previous injuries you may have had to the neck, head (concussion) and jaw as well as assess range of motion and postural issues. With this information, a treatment plan will be determined, typically consisting of manual therapy, exercise and instruction on things such as proper posture at a desk while working on a computer. Our goal is to get each person we see here out of pain and loving their life. north
