State of the Art Care at Forever Fit Physical Therapy At our clinic we offer an innovative approach to Physical Therapy, Strength and Conditioning and Sports Enhancement to all levels of fitness. Forever Fit Physical Therapy is certified in Active Release Technique (ART) ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tendinopathies and overuse injuries are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. Our ART certified therapists help keep athletes training and healthy. What is an ART treatment? Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. Anti-Gravity Treadmill – Alter G We utilize a state of the art Anti-Gravity Treadmill called the Alter G. The Alter G is the first FDA cleared therapeutic device that allows for precise partial weight-bearing exercise. It was first developed using NASA technology for exercise programs in training astronauts. Alter G uses differential air pressure chambers to precisely lift the user from 100% to as little as 20% of the user’s calibrated body weight. Reduction in body weight can occur in 1% increments allowing for a gradual progression to full weight-bearing activities. Alter G Rehabilitation Pre and post surgical rehabilitation Continue training while healing by gradually progressing to full weight bearing Neurologic and proprioceptive training Safely build bone density and restore range of motion for improved functional capacity Prosthetic training for improved balance Weight control programs Promotes cardiovascular health Makes running possible for those not previously able to do so Minimizes joint stress and pain Alter G Sports Performance Improved aerobic conditioning while reducing ground reaction forces Sport specific conditioning Safer adaptation to increased mileage (ex. marathon training) and transitioning to minimalist running Overspeed training (run faster, longer) and hill intervals (0-15% incline) Interval training in a controlled setting Experience the Alter G difference for yourself and see why over 20 NCAA teams, over 20 professional sports teams and over 60 top performance enhancement centers, medical facilities and government facilities are using the Anti-Gravity Treadmill in their training and rehabilitation programs. The Alter G is available for use at a number of different time and rental plan options.
