If I could give 10 stars I would! I went to Sports Lab PT after months of other therapy and approaches to address my back and hip pain. Micaela Thompson was so kind as she listened to the amount of work I had put in with very little results. I had a goal of completing a big hike that I had planned to do for months and didn't want to cancel. Micaela was able to pin point the issue reduce my pain through specific movements and dry needling and I'm happy to share that I was able to accomplish my goal!! Thank you soooo much Micaela!!!

“I have visited several other places before without any success. For me, Kristin is the best thing that happened to me during my rehab phase. I’m finally able to do Crossfit again. She has so much knowledge about athletes and their bodies and she also helps to give you a good mindset. I’m very grateful!”
What to Expect in Your Dry Needling and PT Session
Comprehensive Assessment
A thorough evaluation by a physical therapist is the first step in understanding your injury. The therapist will assess your pain points and perform special testing to determine the root cause of symptoms and any contributing factors. This PERSONALIZED assessment helps develop an effective treatment plan.
Pain Management
One of the primary focuses of physical therapy is to ALLEVIATE PAIN so you can continue doing the activities you love. Techniques such as dry needling, manual therapy, and targeted exercise are all ways you can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
