Our Methods

What Is Sports PT?

Manual Therapy
Method 1

Manual Therapy

Our hands-on approach goes beyond stretching and massage. Manual therapy at Herlong includes joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and dry needling with electrical stimulation — all designed to restore full range of motion and eliminate pain at the source.

  • Joint mobilization to restore normal arthrokinematics
  • Dry needling with electrical stimulation for deep muscle release
  • Soft tissue mobilization targeting fascial restrictions
  • Instrument-assisted techniques for chronic tendon issues
Sports Performance Rehab
Method 2

Sports Performance Rehab

Rehabilitation should prepare you for the demands of your sport — not just daily life. Our sports performance rehab bridges the gap between traditional PT and return to play with progressive, sport-specific programming designed for your position and competition level.

  • Sport-specific loading and plyometric progressions
  • Position-specific movement demands and conditioning
  • Objective return-to-play testing and clearance protocols
  • Collaboration with strength coaches for seamless transitions
Movement Retraining
Method 3

Movement Retraining

Most injuries aren't random — they're the result of faulty movement patterns developed over years of training. Movement retraining identifies and corrects these patterns so you move better, perform better, and stay healthy for the long run.

  • Comprehensive movement screening and assessment
  • Neuromuscular re-education for efficient movement
  • Running gait analysis and correction
  • Progressive corrective exercise programming
