Improve your strength, neuromotor control, mobility, and available active range of motion to achieve optimal performance and prevent future injury. This service is customized to address the root cause of your symptoms.

Dry needling involves using small needles placed strategically into and around the affected tissue of the body. We use this form of treatment to address impairments in mobility, improve mind-muscle connection, and reduce pain and limitations resulting from trigger points.

Hands-on techniques to address mobility impairments of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine as well as the joints of the upper and lower extremities.

Following the analysis, education and interventions are provided to address the deficits identified in the analysis. We offer the unique skill set of combining medical knowledge with high level performance training.

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization uses specific tools to break down tissue restrictions that impair soft tissue mobility and range of motion. Additional benefits from IASTM include increased blood flow and improved functional performance of the once restricted tissues. 

A common service designed to help individuals navigate their daily lives with a reduced risk of falling.

For patients who have suffered a stroke, early intervention and education to those involved in the care of the stroke patient is essential. Depending on the severity of the stroke, the types of interventions used within the sessions may vary. If you or a loved one has experienced a stroke and you are looking for information on what our stroke recovery process would look like, please reach out to our staff and Dr. Strickland will contact you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Pre and post surgical rehabilitation designed to help navigate you through the entire healing process that takes place once the surgery has occurred. The service begins before the surgery by educating you on what to expect as well as maximizing the functional capacity of the joint to be replaced prior to the surgery as research supports the fact that the recovery process is better for those who have more strength and motion in the joint prior to surgery. Following the surgery, the rehabilitation phase begins where we focus on pain/inflammation management, improving range of motion (at the appropriate time and may differ depending on the joint replaced), improving your ability to actively contract and relax the muscles around the joint replacement, and safe mobility using various assisted devices. Progressive exercises meant to improve your safety and function are build into the service and provided throughout the healing process when appropriate.

Wellness Services

Strickland Physiotherapy and Wellness is more than just rehabilitation for injuries; it’s a holistic approach to health and fitness. Whether recovering from an injury, managing chronic conditions, or striving for peak performance, our services foster a balanced, active lifestyle for long-term vitality

Wellness Screening

This service is for anyone who is looking to get ahead of the normal aches and pains that commonly occur as we age. It begins with a screening of your current movement patterns, strength, and ROM to determine if any impairments may exist. The information gathered in this assessment is then utilized to create a custom plan of action that is presented to you in an easy-to-follow format so you can stay one step ahead of common age-related issues that occur in our bodies.

Fitness Programming

Similar to exercise prescription but without the injury, we focus primarily on addressing functional movement to meet your specific fitness goals including weight loss, aesthetic muscle development, etc. Additionally, we can adjust your current training routine whenever necessary so you can be sure you’re moving towards your goals.

IASTM Therapy​

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a technique that uses tools to improve circulation, break up scar tissue and fascia restriction to promote healing. Additional benefits can include decrease edema, diminished adhesions and most importantly, allow you to move through exercises with less pain and improved activation of the muscle tissue.

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy​

BFR therapy uses regulated blood flow to bio-hack the body into believing you’re exercising at higher intensities than traditional exercise alone. The benefits include increased muscle strength, accelerated recovery, and reduced pain. This therapy is often used for those dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, tendinitis and even in recovery post-surgery.
