Our Process
At Performance Therapy, we pride ourselves on finding the right solution for your chronic pain. As the first Adhesion Release provider in the Carolinas, we offer advanced assessment and treatment solutions. Most of our patients have seen multiple providers before finding the real cause and solution for their pain. Not everyone is right for our care, but patients leave our office knowing what is wrong and what needs to be done moving forward!
How our process works
This visit typically lasts 30 minutes. We begin with a thorough case history and functional exam to determine the root cause of your pain. This assessment allows us to establish your prognosis and lay out a treatment plan. It is our aim to include you in your care through communication and education.
Over a series of visits, we apply the most effective, hands-on treatment using Manual Adhesion Release and Instrument Adhesion Release to help resolve your muscle and joint problems by increasing ranges of motion and improving strength. Our goal is to get you better as quickly as possible.
Assess treatment changes, manage load, and increase strength to reduce and eliminate symptoms to the maximum conservative care allows!
Testimonial
"I began competing in 1973. Covering more than 80,000 miles in training and competing in five US Olympic Trials, such long-term wear and tear means I now require a lot of recovery support to remain competitive. I stretch. I ice. I use a foam roller; however, the single biggest factor I have found in avoiding chronic injuries is regular body work with Brad McKay at Performance Therapy SC. He is diligent in understanding my biomechanical needs as a racewalker and has solved a long-term hamstring problem I developed from the constant turns in track races. This allowed me to set a US Master's indoor (50-54) record for the Mile racewalk in March, 2013 at 7:09. Whether you are injured or simply need to maintain supple muscles to excel in your event, I recommend a series of sessions with Brad."
