PREHAB

 

Prevention is the best remedy! 

Injury Prevention is your first line of support for pain-free "Pickle-balling" for life!

  • Do you worry about falling on the court?
  • Are your joints stiff or aching after you play?
  • Do you know someone who had to stop playing due to;
    • Foot Pain
    • Knee Pain
    • Hip or Back Pain?
Improving your Mobility, Balance and Deep Core Strength is the answer.
You must be able to move well before moving often. Moving poorly and often causes our bodies to break down. We notice tightness becoming chronic so we try stretching which doesn't really work. Then we experience unusual discomfort and pain doing certain things. Then, one day something "just goes".
You are only strong and resilient in ranges of motion you move in with integrity. Stretching is not always the answer to tightness. Actually, tightness is often a sign of weakness and instability. In this case, stretching makes the condition worse.
Fortify your body from the inside out and get strong in ranges of motion required to do what you love... play ball!

Post-REHAB

 

Let's Finish the Job!

Previous injury is a leading indicator of future injury!

Complete rehabilitation is required to restore proper movement patterns for life and sport.

  • Have you every injured a joint; Ankle, Back, or Knee? 
  • Are your joints stiff or inflamed after you play?  
  • Have you noticed one side of your body is significantly stronger or more flexible than the other?
 Often, after surgery or other injury, you do the right thing and go through physical therapy. Even if you were the exception, and did all of your exercises at home in perfect form and frequency, there will still be gaps in your strength and kinetic integration. Asymmetry in mobility and strength (due to over or under use, or previous injury, and our sedentary lifestyle) is a key risk factor predicting injury. 

 

Let us help you improve integrated function and bring your body more into balance!

PERFORMANCE

 

Hip mobility and power required for reacting to a Dink-is a thing. 

Segmental stability needed when reaching into the kitchen is a thing.

And tracking an over-head lob is a skill.

 

Complete rehabilitation is required to restore proper movement patterns for life and sport.

  • Have you noticed it's hard to stop and change direction quickly? Maybe you even stumble or have to catch yourself and are developing foot or shin discomfort?
  • Do you find it challenging to look up and get your body under control when following a lob? Maybe you end up on your heels and almost fall backward?   
  • Do you find it hard to get low enough to return some balls? Maybe your low back or shoulder gets sore after playing or your have just settled for not being able to return the low ones?
 To move quickly, even a few steps requires power. If all contributing muscles, joints (tendons, ligaments and fascia) are not equipped to generate or manage that power, you will experience disfunction and eventually, pain.
Every athlete needs to train for their sport. Whether it's a friendly game of Pickleball or even if it's "just" the Sport of Life; it's the smartest move you can make for your longevity in this one body we get.

Let's ingrain motor skills and sure up your deficits so you can play this amazing game for the rest of your life!

What clients are saying...

“I was having back problems & going to a chiropractor and in one visit with Takiyah my pain went away and I understood the root of my problem.

She has a gift of doing healing energetic “therapeutic touch“ while visualizing and helping you visualize with precise metaphors what is happening in your body. Her knowledge & precision helps you know exactly where you’re working and how to work with that part of your body. I had parts of my body that had become unknown to me as I had compensated with other parts to avoid pain.

She is smart, quick in her knowledge, able to communicate it in a very deliberate, thoughtful manner. She is a joy to work with. My working with her feels like a cross between a physical therapist, a body worker, a life coach and body trainer. Anyone that is lucky enough to work with Takiyah will feel the same gratitude that I do.” 

~Diane Greene LCSW

"I’ve been working with Takiyah for over 2 months now and really appreciate how she makes me focus on my form. I’ve seen a big increase in my flexibility and core strength. In just a short amount of time she has developed a better understanding of my body than any trainer or physical therapist I’ve ever worked with."

~Thomas A. Peel, Ph.D
