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.

Functional Movement Screen with Heather(FMS)
The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used
to identify imbalances and asymmetries in your movement pattern which
can predispose you to injury. This scoring system is directly linked to the
most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound
movement patterns.
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is the product of an exercise
philosophy known as Functional Movement Systems. This exercise
philosophy and corresponding set of resources are based on sound
science, years of innovation and current research. The Functional
Movement screen can add to your personal performance.
Widespread Benefits
The FMS simplifies the concept of movement and its impact on the body.
Its streamlined system has benefits for everyone involved – individuals,
exercise professionals, and physicians.

Communication – The FMS utilizes simple language, making it easy for
individuals, exercise professionals, and physicians to communicate
clearly about progress and treatment.
Evaluation – The screen effortlessly identifies asymmetries and
limitations, diminishing the need for extensive testing and analysis.
Standardization – The FMS creates a functional baseline to mark progress
and provides a means to measure performance.
Safety – The FMS quickly identifies dysfunctional movement patterns so
that they can be addressed. It also indicates an individual’s readiness to
perform exercise so that realistic goals can be set and achieved.
Corrective Strategies – The FMS can be applied at any fitness level,
simplifying corrective strategies of a wide array of movement issues. It
identifies specific exercises based on individual FMS scores to instantly
create customized treatment plans.
Functional Movement Screen website »
Put simply, the FMS is a grading system that documents movement
patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns,
the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These
are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical
conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the
Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and
track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most
beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement
patterns.
Our Facility offers all the equipment to meet your needs.
