We’re not your typical physical therapy clinic

We’re on a mission to make physical therapy fun

Traditional physical therapy open means generic sessions with little sport-specific focus, limited therapist time, and no fun— keeping you sidelined from the sport you love for months.

We’re here to change that.

At West & Well, we take a unique approach to physical therapy, sports performance and recovery. We identify the root cause of your injury and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your cheer and dance needs. That’s not all, our full-circle approach continues with position-specific strength classes and recovery services.

Our fun and energetic sessions take place right inside a cheerleading gym— so therapy feels more like part of your training, not a chore. Get ready to feel stronger, move better, and get the pep back in your step faster!

Integrative Physical Therapy

physical therapy, done differently

Starting with your primary concern we will do a thorough movement assessment looking at strength, range of motion, mobility, and fascial restrictions. This assessment will utilize traditional physical therapy methods as well as the suspension based Redcord system. Findings will be discussed and a treatment will be provided as well as a personalized plan of care moving forward!

what in the world is redcord?

The Redcord suspension system we have in our clinic sets us apart from traditional physical therapy. Redcord is an innovative tool that utilizes bungees, ropes, and slings to activate the neuromuscular system, address muscular imbalances, enhance functional strength and improve flexibility. Making it a perfect tool for cheerleaders, gymnasts and dancers! To learn more about Redcord, read my blog post linked below

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    “My daughter suffered a quad injury at cheer practice a few weeks before a big competition and Karri was an absolute life saver! She used dry needling and cupping on her quad and it made a world of difference and allowed her to compete with confidence at the competition. Karri’s vast knowledge and superior communication is an asset in the wellness injury, we highly recommend her services.” – Susan N.

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    “I learned a lot by going to see Dr. Karri. She is amazing! She is great with the red rope therapy and dry needling. What a difference! He also includes helpful hints and suggests a few supplements. I wish I had known about her years ago! It is life-changing!” – Patty C.

  • KIND WORDS FROM PAST PATIENTS

    “About a month ago I was doing a workout when I accidentally tweaked my back, and it wasn’t long before it was painful to get up from a seat or walk around. Thankfully I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Karri the next day. She placed three dry needles into my back and it was like magic! After the session, I could move around pain-free and was even back to working out in two days. It was AMAZING. I never thought dry-needling could make such a difference.” – Erin W.
