NorthFIT Wellness Services

Standard Physical Therapy care, improved upon by Dr. North’s expertise in strength/conditioning, sport physiology, and sport nutrition.  Corrective exercise, hands-on interventions, and functional training, all backed by research and years of professional experience.  You’ll get 1 hour of one-on-one time with Dr. North, every time.  No PT Assistants, no PT Techs, no murky copays or coinsurance fees, no referrals needed, no treatment restrictions or denials, no visit limits, no surprise bills, and no administrative hassle.  You’ll develop a personal relationship with Dr. North built on honesty and trust to confront the behavioral aspects of injury and recovery, and you will leave your course of care with a better understanding of how to treat your injuries more independently, and prevent them from reoccurring in the future. 

The definition of preventative care; let Dr. North spot problems before you know you have them!  The Annual Exam is a bird’s-eye yearly assessment to screen for issues that may need to be addressed with future visits.  The Annual Exam includes a screen of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness, as well as assessments of pain, posture, body composition, strength, flexibility, functional movement, balance, walking gait, and a wellness dialogue.  As the name suggests, it’s a good idea to schedule this check-up once per year. 

Whether you need deep tissue mobilization to help you prepare for an upcoming event, or a cleansing post-event effleurage to clear your tissues of metabolites and cellular debris, look no further.  You can request percussive massage to take care of pesky trigger points, specific deep-tissue release for chronic tension, or a light, relaxing flush at the end of a long training week. Private treatment, aromatherapy, therapeutic lighting, and your choice of music are also options to help you relax when you book your visit.  

Sometimes stiff joints need extra attention to get back into working order.  Prior injuries/surgeries can lay down scar tissue, osteoarthritis can bring joint swelling and joint capsule tension, and adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) can cause years of disability if left untreated.  That’s not to mention how good it can feel to have the occasional spinal cavitation release.  You’re in good hands on Dr. North’s table with targeted, hands-on treatment and mobility interventions. 

With video analysis, functional strengthening, task-specific practice, and mechanical compensation, this package can help you break through your limitations and help you overcome the impossible.  Do you suffer from a chronic condition that impacts your ability to vacuum the floors?  Or has aging perhaps affected your safety while hiking?  Maybe you just want to move up in weight on your 5 rep power clean max?  Whether at home, in the workplace, on the athletic field, or out in nature, if you’re having difficulty with a certain task or movement in your life, this service is geared towards your needs.
