Perhaps you've tried...
  • Going to a chiropractor

Continuous Motion PT

A group of yellow arrows in a row.
"I can't say enough good things about Michelle and Continuous Motion PT. I've worked with Michelle for the last two years. I first sought her out because of nagging lower back and hip pain that just wouldn't go away. I saw my general practitioner, 2 separate chiropractors, an acupuncturist, and a massage therapist - they couldn't find an issue in scans, and no treatment seemed to help for more than a day or so. Michelle's blend of strength and mobility exercises, dry needling, spinal manipulation, and soft tissue work *finally* led to improvements - and I was able to compete in my sport of triathlon that summer. She saved my season. Michelle worked her magic again after I injured my achilles and shoulder this season. This time, I went immediately to Michelle, and, yet again, she saved my triathlon season for the second year in a row. I went from barely being able to walk to running again within 3 weeks. There are a lot of things that Michelle and Cam do differently that make them so special and good at what they do. They are scientists at heart and keep up with all the latest science and treatments - so you know you are getting the state-of-the-art in PT. They are amazing athletes themselves, and Michelle helped to correct many of my sub-optimal movement patterns in the gym that were actually leading to my injuries in the first place. Michelle and Cam employ a wide variety of treatment options and modalities that allow them to alleviate your pain/symptoms, heal the injury, and prevent the next injury from happening. I've never worked with more knowledgable, dedicated medical practitioners!

"Continuous Motion Physical Therapy helped me more than I could have ever imagined! I've been a competitive swimmer since I was 6 years old and always joked that I "just wanted made to go on land"! The past couple of years I've been supplementing my swimming with crossfit but have been riddled with foot, knee, and even some lower back pain. I set up an appointment with Michelle because I was frustrated with results from my podiatrist, still having trouble walking only short distances (never mind running, burpees, or box jumps!). Over 6 weeks Michelle not only helped my immediate pain but strengthened my feet and found the root of my chronic pain which, as it turns out, had been an underlying issue for over a decade! This past weekend I was able to walk 13 miles and I'm excited to continue my training with my new knowledge!"
- Lori O.
"I came to CMPT after doctors told me I was going to have to live with the pain in my neck or have a radical surgery. After 1 session with Michelle things felt a little better, after 3 things felt good, after 5 things felt great! Changed my summer. Both Michelle and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable on multiple fronts, they take the time to understand where you are having issues and then map out the best plan to get you feeling better. Strongly recommend CMPT!"
- Rick W.
