Karly Decker Physical Therapy, PLLC
Providing one on one individualized hands-on, functional manual therapy.
My focus is wellness and prevention. As your physical therapist, my goal is to look at your entire movement system - your body - and identify movement pattern dysfunction throughout your kinetic chain. So if you have a chronic back issue that is still unresolved after attempts at other treatment options, don't be surprised if we take a look at mobility issue in your neck or ankle/foot and treat your back pain in the process. Even if you don't have an acute or chronic pain complaint, I will evaluate how your body functions during your day to day tasks, identify muscular imbalances that lead to faulty posture; and will develop a treatment plan that will help you alleviate the tensions that have built up from poor postural habits and strain from overuse.
Clients will generally be taught::
How to identify efficient, healthy, functional movement patterns in their bodies vs. the restrictive, "holding" patterns the body is often stuck in..
Efficient breathing
Postural Training
Core Efficiency Training
Gait Training
I want YOU to be independent with managing your body and your posture so you can prevent further injury and additional movement dysfunction.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Myofascial Release
Acupressure/Meridian Balancing
Strain Counterstrain
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
Passive and Active Assistive Stretching
Functional Mobilization
Manual facilitation of correct sitting and standing posture.
Using the SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment), and a series of other functional mobility and motor control tests, your licensed physical therapist will perform a 90 minute comprehensive functional movement and postural assessment.
The SFMA assesses 10 functional movement patterns of your body from your head to your feet, and the quantity and quality of your movement is observed and noted. Your therapist will break down the patterns and determine if your movement patterns are normal or limited. They will then identify if your limitation is due to lack of mobility (mechanical joint/tissue restrictions) or decreased stability (lack of strength)
A treatment plan will be developed to address the patient's primary complaint of pain, discomfort, restriction or weakness; however your entire body/system will be addressed as part of the evaluation and treatment. Our goal is to restore more efficient movement patterns in your body, which have often been altered due to muscles imbalances and structural misalignment. These issues have often resulted from poor postural awareness and repetitive strain on the body from sports, work, raising children, or just life!
