A pressure is applied to these structures and lengthened through movement with the help of a therapist. This helps to relieve tension and adhesions in soft tissue. ART is also commonly referred to as a pine and release mechanism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605467154114-Y427I823GFMG0RFPABYG/IMG_3683.JPG Services - Blood Flow Restriction Training Blood Flow Restriction is a newer technology in the therapy world that uses a personal tourniquet system to reduce blood flow to muscles. When combines with low intensity exercise, BFR training creates an anaerobic state for the muscles to work in that produces similar results to high intensity training. When joints cannot tolerate weight, such as after surgery, BFR allows patients to exercise with maximum effect and minimal stress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605468200615-3K6OVP9BO8OKE5DPVO67/IMG_3743.JPG Services - Comprehensive Spine and Neck Rehabilitation Our specialized, trained therapists are qualified spine and neck diagnosticians.

Trigger points can be painful and can lead to difficulty with functional movement. Dry needling involves the insertion of a thin needle directly into a trigger point. This helps to realign muscle fibers, decreasing pain and restoring natural movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605467413069-EPRMVGEF9JNXBSRFZR2D/IMG_3642.JPG Services - Electrical Stimulation Electrical Stimulation uses electrical current to alleviate pain and improve healing. The current mimics the actions of signals coming from ones neurons, which increases contraction and blood flow to repair injured muscles. In addition, e-stim increases the conduction speed of signals sent to our brain. This lessens one’s perception of pain by overpowering the receptors that send pain signals to our brain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605468267482-LOFEVWEX40SO9PTA1KRD/IMG_3701.JPG Services - Functional Movement Systems Functional Movement Systems is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations, asymmetries, and target problem areas. A therapist will generate corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns and build strength specific to each individual. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605467738662-0W1367YQ6QOVG3H9BU35/IMG_3705.JPG Services - Graston Technique Graston Technique involves the use of stainless steel instruments to breakdown soft tissue lesions and restrictions to restore pain-free range of motion and function. This type of manual therapy helps to breakdown collagen cross links and increased blood flow in problem areas. The technique effectively rehabilitates chronic and actue conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605467843902-DW99INL67KF6LT3VAHVG/IMG_3722.JPG Services - Manual Therapy Manual Therapy involves hands on treatment. This incorporates mobilization of joints, moving joints through anatomical ranges of motion, soft tissue mobilization, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to restore natural movement. When recovering from surgery, manual therapy is the primary technique to enhance functional abilities and prevent the progression of impairments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605568058754-4C5QJS9I0Y3361SIMUR9/IMG_3674.JPG Services - Pilates Pilates is a system of low-impact exercise with the following basic principles: control, concentration, flow, centering, breath, and precision. Movements are functional, whole body exercises with a particular emphasis on core stabilization. Pilates is an effective method to improve fitness and wellness. When combined with physical therapy, pilates can be a powerful modality for injury and post surgical rehabilitation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605467962033-0SLC0N70GBZALHCUYXRK/IMG_3687.JPG Services - Return To Sport Testing Through scientific research, our practice has been able to narrow down certain movement patterns in order to predict susceptibility to injury. With specific tests—such as single leg squats, hopping, and landing—it is possible to reduce the risk of injury. The goal is to test these patterns to assure that a patient is able to perform activities with the least risk of injury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605468085910-GMVWQUPF60C950MND96G/IMG_3710.JPG Services - Sports Performance Training Sports Performance Training is the combination of physical and mental exercises to prepare an athlete for the rigors of their sport. It is a clinic approach that uses the latest advancements in sport science and kinesiology to condition an athlete. Sport Performance Training also identifies musculoskeletal and neuromuscular deficits in an injured athlete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1605468164826-L2QCQH9BAB4LCBDN91NW/IMG_3626.JPG Services - Vestibular Rehabilitation The vestibular system is an intricate design involving the inner ear and nerves within the spinal column and brain that result in overall balance and spatial awareness. This allows us to walk and perform daily activities with coordinated movement. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) addresses many vestibular disorders including vertigo, dizziness and imbalance and concussion. VRT uses a variety of hands-on techniques and exercises to improve vertigo symptoms, enhance postural stability and improve tolerance to and performance of activities of daily living. https://www.aspensportsmedicine.com/asm-lens daily 0.75 2020-12-09 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/t/5fd131badca06040102fcde2/1607545250072/ ASM Lens - Reduce Pain We utilize a variety of treatment methods to help you reduce pain and resume your active lifestyle. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/5fbd850a85b85430859e08df/5fbd851be34b496f1a907f29/1607545250072/art-0.jpg ASM Lens - Reduce Pain We utilize a variety of treatment methods to help you reduce pain and resume your active lifestyle. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/5fbd850a85b85430859e08df/5fbd852ee4dfb249b0b8bba2/1607545274941/vestibular-0.jpg ASM Lens - Prevent Injury We will help you learn to move better, balance your body, and prevent future injuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606494908152-KHVG0YKH8P97O0Q0NEZV/fms-0.jpg ASM Lens - Enhance Performance  Our therapy goes beyond recovery from injury to make you faster, stronger and more competitive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606494936752-PF7FE9EDJE5QWVWDENS7/pilates-0.jpg ASM Lens - Established Medical Connections We work with top doctors to provide a team approach to healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606495030498-BHIODD7E543PLSHWN610/Aspen%2BSports%2BMedicine.jpg ASM Lens - Quality Practitioners We represent the highest standard of quality practitioners with years of experience and a commitment to lifelong learning. https://www.aspensportsmedicine.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2020-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606513576425-F130SMRTIFCIY7CY93SS/IMG_0551.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606513576425-F130SMRTIFCIY7CY93SS/IMG_0551.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606513540424-YBATP6SMC4CCB0NOVM28/liza-2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606513558114-HHFB0NAY78EDZ33TNBEF/sean-2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1607465577823-KA9JYCKG53FXW17RNSJP/ash-2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1a932a64e5fb0001e93718/1606515455819-NQ9VQO21YZO1KRUIT0UZ/sean-3.jpg About https://www.aspensportsmedicine.com/services-gallery daily 0.75 2020-11-15 https://www.aspensportsmedicine.com/team-test daily 0.75 2020-11-24
