ADVANTAGE THERAPY
Dry Needling
(with e-stimulation)
Dry needling is a targeted treatment used to address muscle tightness, trigger points, pain, and movement restrictions. A thin, sterile needle is inserted directly into specific muscles and areas of tension to help reduce muscle guarding, improve blood flow, restore normal muscle function, and decrease pain.
At Advantage Therapy, dry needling is not used as a stand-alone, one-size-fits-all treatment. We first assess what may be contributing to your symptoms and use dry needling when appropriate as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It may be combined with manual therapy, joint mobilization, muscle activation, mobility work, and corrective exercises to address both your symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to your pain.
Nuero/Myo-fascial Release
Neuro/myofascial release is a hands-on treatment approach designed to improve the mobility of nerves, muscles, fascia, and surrounding soft tissues. Restrictions or irritation along a nerve pathway can contribute to pain, numbness, tingling, tightness, weakness, or symptoms that travel into the arms or legs.
​
At Advantage Therapy, we assess the entire pathway of your symptoms to identify areas where a nerve or surrounding tissue may not be moving normally. Using targeted manual techniques, we work to reduce soft-tissue restrictions, improve nerve mobility, decrease irritation, and restore more comfortable movement. This approach can be especially helpful for conditions involving sciatica, nerve entrapments, radiating pain, and persistent arm or leg symptoms.
Dynamic cupping is a soft-tissue treatment that uses specialized suction cups combined with movement and hands-on techniques to help improve tissue mobility, decrease muscle tightness, and reduce restrictions between layers of muscle and fascia.
Unlike traditional cupping, where cups may remain stationary, dynamic cupping involves moving the cups across the skin or having you actively move while the cups are applied. This allows us to target areas that feel restricted during specific movements.
At Advantage Therapy, dynamic cupping may be incorporated into treatment alongside manual therapy, stretching, mobility work, and corrective exercise to improve movement and help you return to activity with less pain and restriction.
DYNAMIC CUPPING
Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization is a hands-on technique used to improve joint mobility, decrease stiffness, and reduce pain. Gentle, controlled movements are applied to restricted joints to help restore normal motion and improve overall movement.
​
At Advantage Therapy, joint mobilization is targeted to your specific limitations and may be combined with other manual techniques and corrective exercises for longer-lasting results.
For Alignment and Pain Reduction
Joint Manipulation
Joint manipulation is a hands-on technique using a quick, controlled movement to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and decrease pain. It may produce a “pop” or “crack,” which is a normal release of pressure within the joint.
Benefits may include improved range of motion, decreased pain and stiffness, improved movement, and immediate relief in restricted joints. At Advantage Therapy, manipulations are used selectively when appropriate and combined with other treatments and exercises for longer-lasting results.
Radial shockwave therapy uses high-energy pressure waves to treat painful muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Treatment can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, decrease muscle tightness, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
It can be especially beneficial for chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions that have not responded well to traditional treatment. At Advantage Therapy, radial shockwave is targeted to the specific tissues contributing to your pain and combined with hands-on treatment and exercise when appropriate.
Radial Shockwave
Focused Shockwave
Focused shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves deeper and more precisely into targeted tissues to stimulate healing and reduce pain. Unlike radial shockwave, focused shockwave can reach deeper structures, making it especially useful for deep or stubborn areas such as the low back, hip, and ligaments surrounding the SI joint.
Benefits may include reduced pain, increased blood flow, stimulation of tissue repair, and improved healing of tendons, ligaments, and other injured tissues. Focused shockwave can be a valuable option for chronic conditions that have not responded well to traditional treatments.
Neuromuscular Re-Education
Neuromuscular re-education focuses on retraining how your muscles and nervous system work together to improve movement, stability, coordination, and muscle activation. Pain and injury can cause certain muscles to become weak or inhibited while other muscles compensate.
Treatment uses targeted exercises and hands-on techniques to activate underperforming muscles, improve movement patterns, and restore better control. This is especially helpful for improving core, shoulder, hip, and joint stabilityand helping prevent pain from repeatedly returning.
Lumbar Traction
Lumbar traction uses gentle, controlled decompression of the lower back to reduce pressure and improve mobility through the lumbar spine. It may be beneficial for certain types of low back pain, disc-related pain, sciatica, and nerve irritation.
Traction can help temporarily reduce spinal compression, relieve pressure on sensitive structures, decrease pain, and improve movement, allowing it to be combined with hands-on treatment and corrective exercise for more lasting improvement.
Cervical Traction
Cervical traction uses gentle, controlled decompression of the neck to reduce pressure and improve mobility through the cervical spine. It may be beneficial for certain types of neck pain, disc-related symptoms, pinched or irritated nerves, and pain or tingling into the arm.
Traction can help reduce compression, relieve nerve irritation, decrease pain and stiffness, and improve neck mobility, especially when combined with hands-on treatment and corrective exercise.
Kinesiology tape is a flexible adhesive tape applied to the skin to provide support, stability, and pain relief to muscles and joints. Unlike traditional athletic tape, kinesiology tape is designed to mimic the elasticity of human skin, allowing for a full range of motion. It can be applied in various patterns to achieve different therapeutic effects, such as reducing swelling, improving muscle function, and providing proprioceptive feedback.

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, commonly called scraping, uses specialized tools to treat tight, painful, or restricted muscles and connective tissue. The tools allow us to target specific areas and improve mobility within the tissue.
Benefits may include decreased muscle tightness and pain, improved blood flow, reduced soft-tissue restrictions, and improved range of motion. Scraping is often combined with manual therapy, mobility work, and exercise for longer-lasting results.

PRICING & INSURANCE
Initial Evaluation
$250
Your first visit is where real progress begins — not just paperwork and stretches.
When we meet at SVG3 Fitness, this 60-minute session is focused entirely on you. I’ll take a deep dive into how your body moves, identify the root cause of your pain, and begin hands-on treatment immediately.
​
You’ll leave with a personalized plan that includes manual therapy, targeted techniques, and a simple at-home exercise routine — so you can start seeing results and working toward your goals from day one.
Follow Up Session

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No — and that’s on purpose.
I’ve chosen to stay out of the insurance system because I’m here to get you better not treat you like a number.Insurance-based care often means rushed sessions, minimal hands-on time, and plans drawn out over weeks due to ineffective treatment. That’s not how I work.
Instead, you get:
60 full minutes, one-on-one, with a specialist
Hands-on treatment that actually makes a difference
An at-home exercise plan and in-person treatment tailored to get results FAST — not just what insurances will "cover"
Many patients say it ends up costing less in the long run — because they actually get results in a few sessions instead of 10-20+ visits with little change.
You’re welcome to use your HSA/FSA card, and I can provide a superbill if your plan offers out-of-network reimbursement.
