Services

Functional trigger point dry needling (TDN) can be a stand-alone treatment session or add-on modality to any evaluation or follow-up treatment session at a reduced rate.

What is TDN?

• Insertion of thin filament needles into irritated muscles (trigger points) to help improve blood flow and reduce pain.

• Can be connected to electrical stimulation for enhanced pain relief and muscle-relaxing effects.

If you would like TDN as an add-on to a physical therapy treatment session, discuss this with your therapist in session.

Hands-on or instrumented-assisted deep tissue work to help relieve tension or discomfort from tight or irritated muscles, tendons, and fascia. While this service is already included in traditional PT sessions offered at Tempo, it can also be a standalone option in between sessions to enhance recovery and accelerate tissue healing.

• Deep Tissue Mobilization

• Superficial/Light Pressure Tissue Mobilization

• Fascial Release

• Instrumented Assisted Myofascial Release

“Flush” Sessions for Lower Extremities

• Passive Recovery: on/off cycles of 50-80% occlusion to help clear metabolic byproducts (like lactate) and inflammatory markers that accumulate during intense physical activity. BFR also triggers a release of Growth Hormone (GH), which aids in tissue repair.

• Active Recovery: continuous flow paired with light activity (e.g. cycling) for 10-15 min.

• Early Rehab: BFR used in physical therapy sessions when the individual cannot load fully with external weight. The cuffs occlude at 50-80% on the lower extremities to help bring about muscle hypertrophy when paired with targeted interventions. Can be done with or without external weight for benefit.
