With diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative approaches geared at returning tissues/bodies/patients back to an original or enhanced state, moreso than merely the relief of pain, Dr. Morgan's 'Sports Therapy' philosophy was adopted with the needs of athletes in mind.

​

As noted within 'The Athlete Difference'  page of the this site, non-athletes respond and benefit from the applications of these principles equally well. In this light, Dr. Morgan's practice is for athletes and non-athlete's alike, even if the theme appears athlete-centric.

 

Dr. Morgan considers the neuromotor function of the human body as a biomechanically modifiable machine. An in-depth knowledge of biological material mechanics (i.e. parameters of loading on tissues such as connective tissues, muscular tissue, bone, nerve, etc.) allows Dr. Morgan to induce the intended tissue and/or functional adaptations in a targeted, controlled and intuitive manner. The protocols and parameters used to induce such modifications can ultimately draw from the same set of foundational principles in athletes vs non-athletes alike, however, the baseline abilities and performance goals of the individual need to be integrated into the therapeutic and/or performance enhancing decision making tree. 

 

'Sports Therapy' is a philosophy of practice that addresses physical and physiological roadblocks to performance, whether performance is high end athletics, weekend warrior, or of the 'mom & pop' living life level.

 

'Sports Therapy' is a collection of 'stimulus and response' treatment methodologies that progressively advances a patient/athlete functional capacities via the 'overload principle'.

 

'Sports Therapy' is a meritocracy of sorts, in that one cannot progress to a higher level of therapy or training until they have earned such a right, as marked and measured by the occurence of sufficient adaptations at lesser, foundational levels. Otherwise, we are building castles in the air.
