Personalized physical therapy treatment

No matter your level of pain, at Excel Sports & Physical Therapy in St. Louis, we can use a variety of tools to treat you. We specialize in everything from manual therapy, to aquatic therapy, hand therapy, massage therapy, trigger point therapy and more.

Here is information on some of those treatment options.

Aquatic therapy

Aquatic therapy is done in water, whether it’s a lap pool, or a pool with a current meant for physical therapy treatment. With this approach, you will work with one of our team members to heal your body and get you back to the life you love through these treatments in the water. It’s great for treatment because of the hydrostatic pressure, which supports you while you exercise. The water also has a natural buoyancy that reduces gravity on your sore and aching muscles and joints.  

Manual therapy

Manual therapy is a type of physical therapy treatment that works with a literal hands-on approach. One of our team members will work with your area of pain by massaging it, getting the blood to flow through the area properly in order to encourage the healing process. It is a very crucial and effective part of physical therapy treatment.

Trigger point therapy

Otherwise known as a pressure point massage, trigger point therapy is a useful and effective form of pain treatment. Your physical therapist at Excel Sports & Physical Therapy in St. Louis will work with you by applying gentle yet firm pressure to target areas along the body. This will help release and relax your tense muscles and provide you with relief.
