Atlanta Physical Therapy Services
Ready to thrive again? We provide one-on-one individualized orthopedic physical therapy services to help you improve your function, minimize your pain, and find joy in movement again.
Physical Therapy Evaluation
At Thrive Physio, you can expect every visit to be 55 minutes of one-on-one attention. In the initial evaluation, you will first discuss what made you decide to come in for your visit, the history of your condition, and your general medical history. We will then take you through a series of objective measures including assessments of range of motion, strength, motor control, balance, functional mobility and sport or work specific movements. We will manually assess your area of concern to determine any soft tissue or joint restrictions impacting your current symptoms. If appropriate, we can utilize her training in Selective Functional Movement Assessments, ergonomic assessments and postural assessments to provide further insight into your symptoms. We will discuss with our findings, as well as what you can do together to address your concerns. Then, we will lay out our recommended plan of care and ensure that you determine together the best path forward to meet your goals. You will leave this session with a thorough understanding of what is going on, why and how you ended up here, and what we can do at Thrive Physio to get you back to doing what you love.
We will continue to re-evaluate throughout your plan of care to ensure we are making progress toward your goals and adjusting our plan as needed. Each session provides a chance for a mini evaluation to assess your current state, how that relates to where we started, and where we need to go from there.

Physical Therapy Follow Up
At each follow-up visit, you will spend 55 minutes of one-on-one time. We will utilize a variety of treatment techniques including manual therapy (dry needling, soft tissue and joint mobilization, cupping and kinesiotaping), therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, blood flow restriction training, functional mobility and strength to address your pain points and improve your movement patterns. We will provide an individualized home exercise program that will be progressed as appropriate in each visit. In addition, we prioritize education on posture, ergonomics, lifestyle modifications and other movement habits to make sure you develop an understanding of what you can do between sessions to maintain and add to the progress made in each individual session. The power of change is within each of us, but it is Thrive Physio’s job to help guide you at every step of this process!

The same as an in-person evaluation, we will discuss your history and what made you seek out physical therapy services. We will complete a visual assessment of your range of motion, motor control, balance, and functional movement patterns. We will have you complete relevant self-assessments that will be used to better understand your current symptoms, as well used in follow up sessions to reassess progress achieved. We will explain our diagnosis and propose an individualized treatment plan to work toward your specific goals. We will teach you self mobilization strategies to decrease pain, provide education on needed lifestyle modifications and training recommendations, and create a tailored home exercise program to address your needs.

Treatment tools used:
Dry needling
Insertion of a solid filament needle into dysfunctional muscles to release them, reset them to decrease tightness and improve coordination- Want more information? Read Elizabeth’s blog “What is Dry Needling?”
Redcord suspension training
A system of bungees and cords used to help identify neuromuscular imbalances and improve muscle coordination and balance
Soft tissue mobilization
Manually working on muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia to reset the nervous system and decrease pain
Joint mobilization and manipulation
Address joint restriction with hands-on techniques to improve mobility, reset nervous system and decrease pain
Cupping
Glass cups are applied to the skin to lift skin and fascia away from underlying muscle tissue, improving blood and lymphatic flow for expedited healing and pain relief
Kinesiotaping
Application of light, stretchy tape to body regions to improve proprioception in the area, provide support and decrease swelling or bruising
Blood Flow Restriction training
Brief, intermittent occlusion of venous blood flow using a tourniquet while exercising. The patient can get the strength benefits of a higher load but actually using a lower load to avoid tissue strain- Want more information? Read Elizabeth’s blog “Why Blood Flow Restriction training?”
