Specializations

At Mountain West Sport & Spine, we provide specialized physical therapy services designed to address complex and often overlooked conditions. These focused programs combine clinical expertise, targeted manual therapy, and movement-based rehabilitation to restore function and improve quality of life.

TMJ Therapy

Jaw pain, clicking, tension, headaches, and difficulty chewing are often linked to TMJ dysfunction. Our TMJ therapy focuses on restoring proper joint mechanics while addressing muscular tension and postural habits that contribute to symptoms.

  • Includes strengthening and stretching exercises for the jaw and neck

  • Addresses posture and movement habits that stress the TMJ

Dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance can significantly affect daily life. Our vestibular rehabilitation programs are designed to retrain the brain and nervous system to properly process balance and visual input.

TPI Golf Performance Therapy

Our TPI-certified approach is based on the principles of the Titleist Performance Institute — the gold standard in golf-specific movement assessment.

TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) physical therapy is designed to evaluate how strength, mobility, balance, and movement mechanics affect your golf swing.

TPI Therapy Benefits:
  • Identifies physical limitations contributing to pain or swing faults

  • Evaluates how mobility and stability impact swing mechanics

  • Uses targeted exercises to improve mobility, stability, and power

  • Reduces injury risk

  • Improves swing efficiency and consistency
