Let re:fit guide your wellness

When traditional physical therapy is your prescription to healing, re:fit is a leader in proven and innovative techniques. Myofascial release, muscle energy, advanced joint mobilization, and taping are just some of the services offered for a variety of orthopedic and neurological conditions. Re:fit prescribes customized exercises to enhance overall well-being and athletic performance.

Re:fit also offers a unique approach to traditional physical therapy by combining it with alternative techniques such as Integrated Manual Therapy™ (IMT), Ayurvedic Medicine, Pilates, Gyrotonic®, and/or Feldenkrais® exercises.

Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) is a hands-on technique which enhances traditional physical therapy by integrating one’s entire system—mind, body, and soul—to foster complete healing at the cellular level. While traditional physical therapy focuses solely on the muscles, bones, and joints, IMT looks at all systems of the physical body (cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, lymphatic, gastrointestinal, neural, and craniosacral), along with psychosocial, emotional, and belief systems. For example, if you are experiencing pain in your neck, the source of that pain is not necessarily in the neck. The source could be a dysfunction stemming from a physical, psychosocial, emotional, or even spiritual origin. We “map” the body using light touch to determine the primary system of dysfunction, and use a combination of treatments to improve your healing potential for systems such as Craniosacral, Myofascial, Neural Tissue Tension, and Neurofascial Processing. This gentle yet effective technique releases blockages to help the body heal as a whole.

All re:fit IMT practitioners are also licensed physical therapists.

Discover how an Ayurvedic consultation can provide simple yet profound life-changing recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and routine. You will learn how your body, mind, energy, and spirit are affected by your 3 bio-energies, known as “doshas” of vata (air), pitta (fire), and kapha (earth). You will learn how much water you need daily (and at what temperature), what type and intensity of exercise is best for you, and what foods and spices are compatible for your constitution (prakriti). You will learn breathing techniques compatible with your current state, which will move you toward effective meditation. We will also teach you techniques such as self-massage for sleep issues and dry brushing for lymphatic drainage and skin rejuvenation. Based on your personal goals, we will offer the preparation and rejuvenation therapies, and if needed, we can refer you to a Pancha Karma clinic for specialized therapies. An Ayurvedic consultation can help you balance your inner-rhythms the way nature intended.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) uses muscle testing to accurately uncover emotional stressors that can negatively affect the body. Emotions such as fear, anger, and grief can linger for decades, long after the original event which caused them. When our body struggles to “let go” of these emotions, our body’s tissues may absorb them, prompting our body to “express” the emotions through physical pain, unhealthy behaviors, phobias, and destructive beliefs. NET identifies these unresolved emotional stressors through body resistance tests and uses therapeutic pulse points and breathing to rebalance the body and mind. NET is a safe, effective, and natural modality to quickly resolve chronic mind-body stresses. For more information, see https://www.netmindbody.com/more-information/what-is-net/
