Performance Evaluations
30 min and 60 minute performance EVALs for competitive athletes and adults – goal is to prevent injury, identify potential injuries (ticking time bombs), energy “leaks” and areas to improve biomechanics and performance.
- 30 Min Performance Evaluation (vary based on sport, age and injury history): $75
- Quick Review of Injury History and any current issues
- Mobility for Sport (sport specific joint range of motion and muscle length assessment)
- Rating: Good/fair/poor
- Examples
- GIRD shoulder test for overhead athletes
- Hip flexor length for runners
- Functional strength/biomechanical tests based: sport specific
- Examples:
- Single limb squat
- Single limb hop
- Isolated and functional hip strength test for agility sport (soccer, basketball, etc)
- Examples:
- Summary provided to coaches on what movements to avoid and which movements to focus on in the early stage of program to prevent injury and improve stability and R:L symmetry.
- 60-Min Performance Evaluation (vary based on sport, age and injury
history): $150

Other Services
- Run Gait Analysis: $195. Our run gait analysis program provides
comprehensive analysis of the runner and their gait performed by one of our expert physical therapists. This includes:
-
-
- Review of injury and training history
- Detailed physical examination of the athlete (posture, flexibility, strength, injury specific testing, functional and core testing)
- Video Analysis of running gait
- Review of run gait findings
- Instruction in a specifically designed program to address inefficiency in running form, potential or current injury and to address footwear and orthotics. The program is designed by your PT. An Exercise Specialist will take you through the entire program at this visit to insure that your techinque is correct.
Time Commitment: 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.
What to bring: shorts, t-shirt, running shoes and orthotics.
Some of the questions that can be answered through run gait analysis are:

- Normatec Recovery boots (www.normatecrecovery.com). What is
NormaTec?
- NormaTec is the leader in rapid recovery—our systems give a competitive edge to the world’s elite athletes, coaches, and trainers. Our goal is to establish recovery as an integral part of every athlete’s training, and we feel NormaTec systems are the best way to accomplish that. The NormaTec PULSE Recovery Systems are dynamic compression devices designed for recovery and rehab. All of our systems use NormaTec’s patented PULSE technology to help athletes recover faster between trainings and after performance.
- Our systems include a control unit and attachments which go on the legs, arms, or hips. They use compressed air to massage your limbs, mobilize fluid, and speed recovery with our patented NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern. When you use our systems, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, hands, or upper quad (depending on which attachment you are using). Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb.

- 20-30 minute session: $15
- Package of 10 sessions: $100

The NormaTec Pulse Message Pattern
The NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern starts in the foot, hand, or lower hip and moves upwards zone-by-zone massaging the limb and mobilizing fluid out of the extremities.
Created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern employs three key techniques to maximize your recovery:
Pulsing: Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). Our patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
Gradient: Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, the PULSE and PULSE PRO can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.
Distal Release: Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.
