Injury Prevention

We carefully check how you move, your muscle strength, and joint stability to spot any potential weak spots or imbalances that could lead to injuries. Once we identify these areas, we work with you to create a plan. This plan includes exercises and strategies to strengthen those weak spots and make sure your body moves smoothly and efficiently. It’s like giving your body a shield against possible injuries, especially if you’re an athlete or just want to stay active and healthy.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Soft tissue mobilization is like a targeted, soothing massage for your muscles. Our expert therapists use this to work directly on your muscles, joints, and tissues. It’s like a personalized massage, but with a specific focus on improving your joint movement, reducing pain, and enhancing your overall mobility. This hands-on care is designed to help you recover better, move more freely, and feel stronger.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique where very thin needles are gently inserted into tight muscles or trigger points. It might sound a bit like acupuncture, but the goal here is to release tension in specific areas, reduce pain, and improve your muscle function. It’s like giving your muscles a little reset button, helping them relax and work better. Don’t worry, we ensure it’s a comfortable and effective experience to support your recovery journey.

Performance Training

We create a customized fitness plan designed to boost your abilities. We tailor exercises to enhance your strength, endurance, and overall performance, whether you’re an athlete or aiming for peak fitness. It’s a personalized journey to help you reach your performance goals and become your best self.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a physician in private practice and am always searching for great specialists to help care for my patients medical issues.  I decided to “try out” Brian to see if he would be a good fit for my patients.  I have had a chronic back condition/pain that I as an internist was unable to work out for myself.  Brian’s skills of listening, examining, and treating far exceeded my expectations…and I expected a lot!  Within the first hour appointment he diagnosed, treated, and set me on a more healthy and less painful path for my future.  Thoughtful, pragmatic and caring.  Because he is independent and not billing insurance, he unencumbered by the documentation hassle, and ALL the the time was spent on me and helping me understand and work on my problem.  I have already referred three of my patients to Brian…he is a good find!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ishola is excellent! He has been working with my daughter for the last several months, focusing on knee and elbow strengthening after injuries/surgeries. She participates in track and gymnastics and he has been so helpful in keeping her active and strong. We've been most impressed by the following things: he is proactive--he reached out to her surgeon pre-op to make sure he formulated the best post-op rehab plan; he has helped adjust her training plans in each sport to prevent overuse/further injury; and he is really personable and connects well with her--she enjoys working with him and trusts him. Great sports PT--would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Brian is fantastic!!! My daughter is a competitive gymnast, and we were looking for PT options to help with her nagging hip flexor. After just a few sessions, she has had significant pain relief. I highly recommend Dr. Brian if you are looking for PT options.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I very happily recommend Brian Ishola to anyone who is ready to put pain or an injury behind them and get back to the activities they love to do. Brian was quickly able to assess my shoulder pain and in over just a few weeks helped get me back to where I wanted to be. I especially appreciated Brian's knowledge, constant encouragement, and ability to provide just enough challenge to keep progress moving quickly.

He’s knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated, and he proactively follows up with you after appointments with other providers. He’s invested in your recovery, and it shows. No notes!
