There isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment plan here. Your care is built around your body, your goals and your life.
Physical Therapy Services We Offer for Plano TX Patients
No two people move exactly the same way, so we don't believe their physical therapy should look exactly the same either.
AAPT offers a range of physical therapy services and specialty care, including sports physical therapy, dance physical therapy, POINT RESET® physical therapy services, aquatic therapy, dry needling, manual therapy, movement assessment and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Your physical therapist will determine which treatments make sense for you based on your evaluation, symptoms and goals.
Our clinic works with patients recovering from orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical restrictions, building hands-on treatment around the specific demands of your daily life or activity level.
Our Aquatic Therapy program pairs pool-based sessions with resistance jets and real-time movement monitoring, often working alongside land-based physical therapy as strength and weight-bearing tolerance improve over the course of treatment.
POINT RESET®
Developed by Dr. Cody Johnson, DPT, ATC, POINT RESET® is Athletic Advantage Physical Therapy's own approach to addressing nerve communication and restoring movement in patients.
Dry needling is often used for muscle tightness, trigger points, and areas of chronic tension that haven't fully responded to manual therapy or exercise alone.
Our team addresses technique-related strain, overuse injuries, and traumatic dance injuries with a functional, whole-body assessment.
The program is designed to complement a dancer's regular training and rehearsal schedule, addressing the small mobility and strength gaps that don't yet show up as pain but tend to become injuries under enough repetition.
Using a movement-first evaluation, our team identifies the faulty patterns behind an injury and addresses them directly, helping athletes return to competition stronger and more resilient.
A dance screening identifies the strength, mobility, and control gaps most likely to lead to an injury.
A sports screening evaluates athletes' movement, strength, and mobility to catch imbalances that can lead to injury.
Pre & Post-Surgical Rehab
Preparing for surgery, or recovering from it, is easier with a structured plan behind you. We work with patients before and after procedures to rebuild strength, restore movement, and support a smoother, more confident recovery.
Recovery & Performance
Recovery is about building the strength and movement quality that keeps you performing at your best. We help patients move past the point where pain resolves, focusing on the underlying strength, mobility, and movement patterns that support long-term resilience.
Signs You Need Physical Therapy
Pain or stiffness doesn't have to be severe to be worth addressing. These patterns are a good reason to schedule an evaluation rather than wait it out:
-
Pain or stiffness that lingers more than a few days or keeps coming back
-
Discomfort that changes how you sit at your desk, sleep or get through your commute
-
Pain, tingling or weakness that travels into an arm or leg
-
Reduced range of motion in your neck, shoulder, back, hip or knee
-
Pain that flares with specific activities, like running Plano's trails, lifting at the gym or a repetitive motion at work
-
An old injury that never fully resolved, or one that's changed how you move without you fully noticing
If any of this sounds familiar, a physical therapist can evaluate what's contributing to your symptoms and start building a plan around it.
How We Treat: The Reset Method
At AAPT, treatment starts with a thorough evaluation. We look at mobility, strength and movement patterns, along with the demands you place on your body through work, sports, dance and everyday life.
From there, treatment is guided by The Reset Method:
1. Reset the Nerve
We first address areas that may be interfering with movement or normal muscle function. Depending on your needs, this may include POINT RESET® physical therapy services, mechanical pressure, joint movement, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, percussion therapy or other techniques.
2. Reeducate the Muscle
Next, we work on strength and control with exercises selected specifically for your body, movement patterns and goals.
3. Reinforce with Movement
The goal isn't simply to feel better in the clinic. We want those improvements to carry over into your everyday life, sport or activity through targeted movement and an individualized home program.
It's not about following a generic protocol. It's about figuring out what your body needs to move better.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Plano patients come to AAPT for everything from new injuries to pain they've been dealing with for years.
Common conditions we treat include:
Rather than treating a diagnosis alone, we look at how the condition is affecting your movement and what may be contributing to it.

Sports Physical Therapy for Plano Athletes
Getting back to your sport takes more than getting out of pain.
AAPT works with athletes across a wide range of ages, sports and ability levels. We look at strength, mobility, mechanics and movement patterns to understand what may have contributed to an injury and what you need to safely return to activity.
Whether you're returning to the field, court, gym, trail or your weekend sport, your rehabilitation is built around the demands of what you actually need to do.
Sports screenings and movement assessments can also help identify areas of weakness, mobility limitations or compensation before they become bigger problems.
Dance Physical Therapy & Screening Near Plano
Dancers place very different demands on their bodies, and their physical therapy should reflect that.
AAPT has specialized experience working with dancers, from young competitive dancers to pre-professional and professional performers. Our dance physical therapy services and screenings look at mobility, strength, control and dance-specific movement patterns that can affect both performance and injury risk.
The goal isn't simply getting a dancer back into the studio. It's helping them return with the strength, mobility and confidence their movement requires.
Aquatic Therapy Near Plano
For some patients, the best place to start moving again is in the water.
AAPT offers aquatic physical therapy using a HydroWorx underwater treadmill at our Allen clinic. The aquatic environment allows patients to work on walking, mobility, strength and conditioning while reducing the load placed on painful or healing joints.
Aquatic therapy may be helpful during certain stages of post-surgical rehabilitation, joint-related recovery, mobility training or when full weight-bearing exercise is uncomfortable.
Your physical therapist will determine whether aquatic therapy makes sense as part of your individual treatment plan.
