At PRO SPORT we believe in correcting the underlying cause of the injury or functional restriction as well as learning how to care for your injury at home is essential to achieving a successful long-term outcome. Based on your current injury and the results of your movement screen our board certified doctors will provide instruction on proper biomechanics to avoid irritating the affected tissues as well as prescribe therapeutic exercises to restore normal function to the injured soft-tissue and joints. The initial focus of the corrective program is on improving movement quality by restoring soft tissue tone, increasing joint mobility, promoting balance and core stability, and activating inhibited or weak muscles. Self-myofascial release utilizing a foam roll and/or trigger point ball can release dense and fibrotic adaptations that occur in muscles, tendons, and fascial tissue from acute injury or cumulative trauma. Gentle stretching and mobilization exercises will restore proper muscle length and flexibility. Neuromuscular re-activation exercises are used to regain conscious control over muscles that have become inhibited due to pain or disuse. Simple floor exercises are then implemented to engrain the muscle activation patterns while increasing strength, endurance, and core stability. As you improve, the program will progress to include more complex movements tailored to the demands of your work, sport, and everyday activities. At PRO SPORT in Gig Harbor the end goal of the rehab program is to achieve a state in which your functional capacity exceeds the demands that you place on your body in order to avoid re-injury.

What our patients are saying
-
A friend of mine from the Sounders referred me to Dr. Sampatacos and his team after I injured my knee. Great guy and surgeon. The entire process from surgery to rehab has been significantly easier thanks to the expertise of this doctor and his team. More places should consider building a business that incorporates so many specialists under one roof.
-
Couldn’t be happier. Dr. Sampatacos spent more time with me than any doctor I’ve ever met, and the rest of the staff was amazing too. So glad I was referred to them.
-
The treatment I have received from Dr. Sean Spaulding has been nothing less than life changing! Sean has provided me with the perfect combination of Chiropractic, Tissue Manipulation and Physical Therapeutic care. I suffered decades with chronic problems and endlessly searching for the right team of chiropractors, massage therapists and personal trainers to alleviate my physical problems. I never thought I would be able to receive this amount of successful treatment from one person. I am looking forward to continuing my treatment with Dr. Sean Spaulding. You should too!

I started seeing Dr. Hartford after going to a physiotherapist for 4 months with no change. I was skeptical at first after being frustrated with my previous care. Dr. Hartford is very knowledgeable and caring. And I am now better! I can’t recommend him and Dr. Spaulding enough. I was sure my next step was surgery. So even though their office is an hour away from my house, I decided to give them a try. One of the main reasons was that Dr. Hartford works with the Sounders. I figure if a pro sports team trusts him, then that’s where I want to go. Dr. Hartford is worth every penny, and he’s super funny too! If you need a chiropractor go here! I am through with my current problem, but will return in a second if I am in need of any chiropractic care.

Best place I’ve ever been to and I highly recommend Pro Sport and Spine to anyone that wants to heal, strengthen and maintain their body. They are better and unlike any other chiropractor I’ve seen. With hour long appointments, dedicated solely on me, I receive soft tissue work, adjustments stretches and exercises. Both doctors, Sean and Forest, are equally great, knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and truly care about my experience. I have gone to chiropractors, physical therapists, masseuses and orthopedic surgeons, but Pro Sport and Spine has made the biggest difference with my injuries and pain. I completely trust them and will be forever grateful and loyal. Every visit I learn new things and always leave happy!

I love this place! After about 9 months of struggling with hip pain, I decided to try Pro Sport and Spine. I have not been a fan of chiropractors in the past, however had read about their Active Release Technique and sports-minded approach and decided to give them a try. Their office has always been very friendly and helpful. Dr. Spaulding has combined his expertise along with teaching and encouraging me to work hard on home exercises. I am so thrilled with the progress he has helped me to achieve and am so excited to run and ski again!

Dr Hartford is Amazing! I stated seeing him as a last resort. I tried Everything to help my back pain! I was in so much pain with 2 herniated discs and intense nerve pain. He worked with me and never gave up on me. To this day I have no sciatic nerve issues. I believe so much in what he does through ART. This is no ordinary Chiropractor he spends time with you and really cares for his patients. I could honestly go on and on how much I believe in his treatment.
