Restoring Movement and Strength With Physical Therapy
Physical therapy focuses on improving how your body moves, heals, and functions. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, patients benefit from evidence-based care that addresses injuries, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. Our physical therapists in St. Louis Park, Osseo, Rosemount and Duluth, MN use exercises, manual therapy, and movement training to treat conditions like back pain, joint injuries, sports-related issues, and post-surgical recovery.
What makes physical therapy at Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy different is the way we combine it with chiropractic care under one roof. This teamwork ensures your plan is consistent, personalized, and designed to help you recover faster while preventing future setbacks.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a therapy that teaches patients to gain better control over how their body responds to stress, pain, or movement. Using safe, noninvasive sensors, our providers at Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy monitor muscle activity and guide patients in learning how to relax tight muscles and improve control. This treatment is especially helpful for conditions like chronic headaches, jaw pain, muscle tension, and stress-related disorders.
At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, biofeedback is often combined with physical therapy and chiropractic care to create a complete plan that treats both the body and the mind, helping patients recover faster and prevent future flare-ups.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a treatment that uses thin, sterile needles to target trigger points–areas of restriction in the muscles or connective tissue. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use this technique to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain. Patients often find dry needling helpful for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, and sports-related strains.
What makes Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy unique is the way our team combines dry needling with other therapies like exercise, manual therapy, and chiropractic adjustments. This integrated approach ensures that patients not only feel relief but also address the root causes of muscle dysfunction for lasting results.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation, often called e-stim, uses controlled electrical currents to help muscles contract safely. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use this therapy to reduce pain, improve circulation, and strengthen weak muscles. E-stim is often recommended for patients recovering from surgery, dealing with nerve injuries, or managing chronic pain.
What sets Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy apart is how we combine electrical stimulation with personalized physical therapy and chiropractic care. This teamwork allows us to relieve discomfort, restore function, and support faster healing, giving patients the confidence to return to daily activities with improved strength and mobility.
Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization is a hands-on technique that gently moves stiff or painful joints to restore motion and reduce discomfort. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use this treatment to help patients with arthritis, post-surgical stiffness, sports injuries, and chronic joint pain. By applying controlled pressure and movement, joint mobilization can ease tension, improve circulation, and support healthier mechanics.
At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, we combine joint mobilization with chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic exercise to create one coordinated plan. This teamwork ensures patients recover function more quickly, move with greater ease, and prevent problems from returning in the future.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping uses a specialized elastic tape applied directly to the skin to support joints, reduce swelling, and improve muscle function. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers often use taping to help patients with sports injuries, sprains, strains, and postural issues. The tape gently stabilizes the injured area without limiting motion, allowing patients to stay active while healing.
At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, wewe typically use kinesio taping as part of a larger care plan that includes chiropractic and physical therapy. This combined approach helps patients recover faster, move with confidence, and protect their bodies during daily activities.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on technique that uses specific pressure and guided movement to reduce pain, relax tight muscles, and improve mobility. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use manual therapy to treat conditions such as back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint stiffness, and post-surgical recovery. By improving circulation and easing muscle tension, this therapy helps patients regain comfort and function more quickly.
What sets Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy apart is how manual therapy is combined with chiropractic adjustments, exercise programs, and patient education. This integrated approach ensures that care is not only effective but also personalized for long-term results.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, which can become tight or restricted after injury or stress. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use gentle, sustained pressure to release restrictions, reduce pain, and improve motion. This treatment is especially effective for patients dealing with chronic pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, or lingering stiffness after injury.
The team at Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy typically incorporates myofascial release alongside chiropractic and physical therapy care. By addressing both the fascia and the muscles it supports, our team helps patients recover faster, restore mobility, and prevent recurring problems.
Neuromuscular Reeducation
Neuromuscular reeducation focuses on retraining the body’s nerves and muscles to work together after injury, surgery, or neurological conditions. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use this therapy to help patients improve balance, coordination, posture, and movement control. It is especially valuable for those recovering from strokes, sports injuries, or chronic pain. By restoring proper movement patterns, patients reduce strain and move more efficiently.
Furthermore Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy’s integrated approach means that chiropractors and physical therapists design one plan to strengthen the nervous system, restore control, and give patients tools they can use long after leaving the clinic.
Patient Education
Patient education is an essential part of care at Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy. Our providers teach patients about posture, movement, exercise, and lifestyle strategies that support recovery and prevent injuries. Education empowers patients to manage conditions like arthritis, back pain, and repetitive strain while encouraging independence outside of the clinic.
What sets Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy apart is the way education is woven into every visit. Instead of just providing treatment, our team explains the “why” behind each step, helping patients feel confident in their care. This approach creates long-lasting results by equipping patients with knowledge they can apply every day.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Soft tissue mobilization is a hands-on technique that targets muscles, ligaments, and fascia to reduce pain and restore movement. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use this therapy to treat sports injuries, chronic pain, scar tissue, and postural strain. By improving circulation and breaking down restrictions, soft tissue mobilization helps patients move more freely and recover faster.
The Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy team combines this approach with chiropractic adjustments and exercise programs, creating one comprehensive plan. Patients not only experience immediate relief but also build lasting improvements in strength, mobility, and overall function.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise uses guided, targeted movements to improve strength, mobility, and coordination. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers create personalized exercise programs to help patients recovering from injuries, surgery, or chronic pain. This therapy is effective for conditions such as back pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and mobility limitations.
What sets Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy apart is the way exercise is integrated with chiropractic care, manual therapy, and education. Each plan is designed not just to relieve symptoms but also to restore long-term function and prevent future setbacks. Patients leave with the confidence and tools to maintain progress independently.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to stimulate healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers use this treatment to reduce pain, improve circulation, and speed recovery from injuries. Our team often recommends ultrasound therapy for patients with sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, or scar tissue that limits mobility. The gentle vibrations help tissues heal more efficiently while easing inflammation.
What makes Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy unique is how we combine therapeutic ultrasound with chiropractic care and physical therapy exercises. This integrated approach ensures patients experiencer elief and regain strength and function, supporting long-lasting recovery and improved mobility.
Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems caused by inner ear or neurological issues. At Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, our providers design individualized programs that include balance training, eye–head coordination exercises, and movement strategies to improve stability. This therapy is especially helpful for patients recovering from concussions, ear disorders, or neurological conditions.
What makes Symmetry Chiropractic and Physical Therapy different is the way vestibular therapy is combined with chiropractic care and other rehabilitation techniques. Patients benefit from one coordinated plan that reduces symptoms, restores confidence in movement, and lowers the risk of future falls.
