Physical Therapy at AITC with Brian Looney, DPT, DC, CSCS

Unlike traditional physical therapy, which is often focused merely on relieving symptoms, our approach goes beyond temporary fixes and passive treatments to correct the cause of your problem. Our approach looks at the body as a whole rather than in isolation to get to the root of the problem along with addressing compensatory issues that have developed as a result of poor body mechanics.

Unlike the large chain therapy clinics with multiple locations and therapists, AITC specializes in personal, one-on-one therapy.

Muscular Therapy:  What's It All About?

Well, a good way to learn specifics about how Muscular Therapy could enhance your personal physical experience (sports, daily activities, stamina) would be to attend the AITC Monthly Seminar Series on Thursday, July 20 at 7 pm right here at the office.  My associate, Michele Buckley, and I will be speaking on just this subject. 

Let's face it, a good daily physical experience is not about one component of a healthy lifestyle.  It's about all the pieces of your wellness puzzle fitting together in balance and harmony.  You back up exercise routines with good nutrition, proper hydration and muscle care.  You take into consideration sun exposure, use of chemical based products on your body and in your home, what you drink when hanging out, food choices (organic, grass-fed, whole food) and wellness checkups (annual physical, mammography, dental care, etc.).  A lot goes into it.

The definition of "therapy" is the attempted remediation of a health problem usually after a diagnosis.  Well, a doctor doesn't have to tell you when your body is not moving right or doesn't feel great.  You can make that diagnosis on your own.  So to help mediate that problem, we view massage through a muscular therapy lens.  A lot goes into how we approach your body to improve muscle function.

You might be thinking, "Muscular therapy can improve muscle function?  I thought that's why I was paying my personal trainer."  On every scale there are two sides.  The personal trainer, exercise routines, physical activity, competitions, your job, yard work, childcare--they all go on the side of the scale for "body stressing activities".  Gentle yoga, good food, water, minerals, vitamins, chiropractic care, spiritual time/meditation and, yes, muscular therapy all go on the side of the scale for "body restoring activities".  When you receive muscular therapy, the therapist should be considering what you do, how often, with what ease or what discomfort.  They should be thinking about the relationship between where you experience discomfort and the source of that discomfort.  Finally, they should be working to keep that problem from returning (and educating you on self-care).  We actually want to treat you as infrequently as possible.  It's our goal for you to have tools to keep your muscles in great shape after training, events and life and for us to help you as needed on maintenance visits.  

Want more information?  Come to the talk, we would love to meet you.
