Place is good. They don't hold you back but also don't push you to aggravate anything, and won't let you get too stupid or hard on yourself.

Their ROM (range of motion) philosophy is self driven brute force with controlled pain and heavy repetition. They don't do much massage and don't use ultrasound (there is a single countertop machine but never seen it used). They only do scar scraping and forced bending only if not past 90 and there is a lack of progress (YouTube forced-bending torture scenes typically don't happen here).

Most clientele are current and former athletes. One patient is training with the Phoenix Rising (ACL). I ruptured my patellar tendon and am currently 8 weeks post surgery. I've taken their core concept of slow and controlled and applied them to exercises and other things I'm not supposed to do yet without aggravating the knee (I like to experiment).

Electotherapy and massage therapy is mostly focused on pain control. They do TENS mostly. They do TENS via dry needle too. If you want more hands on scar massage, interferential, ultrasound, or other forms of electrotherapy, you need to mix in another place, or buy your own machine. They are quite affordable to buy outside of insurance online. Massage machines can be bought online. Not as good as expert masssage therapist, but work.

This place makes good effective use of low or no equipment exercises which facilitates your ability to do them at home or work. The big money gear is squat racks, drag and push sleds, and lots of dumbells. They also have a few exercise bikes, weighted balls/bags, and step/jump boxes.
