Muscle Pain and Tightness Won't Fix Itself

Without targeted treatment, trigger points build up, movement suffers, and pain becomes a pattern that's hard to break.

Tight, knotted muscles limit your movement and performance.

Stretching and rest alone rarely release deep trigger points.

sad

Untreated muscle dysfunction often leads to bigger injuries down the road.

"Dr. Colin took the time to really evaluate what was going on and created a plan that focused not just on the pain, but on the underlying movement issues contributing to it. I appreciated how thoughtful and targeted the exercises were. Everything felt purposeful and designed to help me move better overall, not just temporarily relieve symptoms."

"Gabby was amazing to work with! I had severe abdominal separation from my second pregnancy and Gabby made sure I was set up with the right program and resources to heal my diastatis recti. I have seen significant progress in 3 months and can now maintain and improve my progress on my own. Gabby and Grit are amazing, all postpartum mamas should see her!!"

"Cannot say enough good things about Grit PT! I had the pleasure of working with Colin, who, from day one, made me feel comfortable and heard. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient during our sessions, always taking an extra beat to explain the ‘why’ behind an exercise. I also loved that they offered other therapy methods like dry needling, which really helped me. Overall, my sessions and interactions with various clinicians at Grit were wonderful and you can tell they truly care and put their patients needs and recovery first."

"Dr. Gabe saved my daughter’s gymnastics career. My daughter had constant pain in her lumbar pack due to excessive training , and the pain set her back from getting skills for a whole year, she was about to quit because the constant pain kept bothering her and stopped her from making progress. We are so grateful we got to know Dr Gabe. After 8 sessions of PT, the pain was magically gone and has not come back. Absolutely recommend Grit PT for their professional services and amazing results.”

"I want to say thank you to GRIT physical therapy and Dr. Collin for helping with my adductor and back pain. I came in a few weeks ago and was thinking I may have to sit out of some of my games this season, however the pain is getting more tolerable each session! Highly recommend!”
