ProMet Physical Therapy

IASTM Technique is a type of instrument-assisted, soft tissue mobilization that is designed to aid in the healing response from the body to the affected area. This is accomplished through breakdown of the capillary beds inducing nutrition to the tissues of the injured area.

What can you notice?

• Improved range of motion
• Soft tissue mobility
• Decreased pain
• Restoration of functional movement patterns

We have used IASTM on strains and sprains, arthritic joints, chronically painful tissues, post operative areas, and myofascial dysfunction- just to name a few. Side effects of the treatment may include mild bruising along the lines of treatment, and delayed onset muscle soreness, although completely normal! Often times, the patients describe a general warming feeling, or even some tingling in the treated areas for up to 24 hours.

Therapeutic cupping is a form of alternative medicine dating back to ancient Egyptian, Asian, and European cultures. Treatment consists of cups placed on the skin wherein negative air pressure creates a suction force.

Cupping is used for a variety of purposes:

• Pain relief
• Inflammation reduction
• Relaxation
• Increased blood flow

The suction created by cupping therapy can also be used to:

• Drain excess body toxins
• Stimulate the peripheral nervous system
• Direct blood flow to tight, stagnant muscles and skin

By lifting the skin from the muscle, the cupping action facilitates improved tissue extensibility, decreases pain perception, and allows more efficient movement patterns.

Here at ProMet, we have the privilege of working with many sports teams from all over the tri-state area. These range from youth intramural to the professional level. Our mission is to cater to your individual needs, and to customize a strength-and-conditioning program that will launch you to your next level of success.

At ProMet, we have a three-part system to our strength-and-conditioning program:

• Decrease the Risk of Injury.
• Maximize Sport Performance.
• Maximize Efficiency in Movement.

Given our commitment to these goals, our team will educate and empower patients to manage their own keys to success.

At ProMet we will combine our intensive knowledge of the human body and your goals to ensure that you are on the most optimal path to full recovery!

We Treat The Individual

ProMet understands that all individuals are different and therefore no two injuries alike. We don’t just treat pain or injured joints. WE TREAT PEOPLE.
With our individualized approach to each patient, our Doctors of Physical Therapy help develop a treatment plan designed specifically to meet your needs.

Kinesio Tape® (other brand names we also use include Rock Tape®, KT Tape® and Strength Tape®) are elastic tapes that supplement the body’s natural healing process. Traditional, white athletic tape limits movement, but Kinesio tape allows for full movement of the taped area and can help distribute forces to other nearby areas and the underlying tissues.

Posture is a reflection of the “position” of many bodily systems that are regulated, determined, and created through limited functional patterns. These patterns reflect our ability and inability to breathe, rotate, and rest symmetrically.

‘“Limited functional pattern” refers to movement that is restricted in directions, planes, or normal boundaries of functional range, as a result of improper joint, muscle, and mediastinum rest position. Function is therefore limited because soft tissue and osseous restrictions prevent one from using muscles and joints in their normal range. Adaptation and compensation for these limitations require neuromotor encoding and hyperactivity of muscle that is placed in improper positions.

NormaTec Recovery System is the leader in rapid recovery—our systems provide a competitive edge to:

• Elite athletes
• Patients with a physically demanding lifestyle
• Patients suffering from a variety of circulatory disorders
• Patients who experience swollen legs from traveling frequently
• Patients who stand for long hours on the job

The NormaTec PULSE Recovery Systems are dynamic compression devices that utilize our patented NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern to help athletes and patients rehab and recover faster. Our systems include a control unit and attachments that go on the legs, arms, and/or hips. They use compressed air to massage the limbs, mobilize fluid, and improve recovery time.

The ProMet Performance Golf program combines our elite knowledge of human movement with the industry-leading Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) approach to the body-swing connection™️ to help improve your mechanics, swing plane and ultimate performance of your game.
