At Prime Sports Med, we offer sports therapy in Meridian, ID to help athletes and active individuals recover from injuries, improve movement, and get back to doing what they love. Our experienced providers take a personalized approach to your care, customizing treatment to your specific needs, activity level, and goals.
Treatment may include hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, laser therapy, and other techniques to support recovery, improve mobility, and help you stay active.
Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on soft tissue technique that combines targeted pressure with active movement. During treatment, the provider applies pressure to a specific area while you move the affected muscle or joint through a guided range of motion. This allows the provider to address areas of soft tissue tension and restriction while working with the body’s natural movement.
ART may be used to help improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and restore normal function. It can be particularly useful for athletes and active individuals dealing with muscle tension, strains, repetitive-use issues, or other soft tissue concerns.
Dry needling is a safe and effective technique for managing certain musculoskeletal disorders. At Prime Sports Med, dry needling is performed by certified therapists and is a minimally discomforting procedure. During the treatment, a thin monofilament needle is used to penetrate the skin and target underlying muscular trigger points or knots to alleviate neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. It is called “dry” because it does not involve injecting fluid into the body.
At Prime Sports Med, we use a 20 watt Class 4 Laser from Aspen Lasers. Treatments are performed by positioning the laser handpiece approximately ½” directly above the skin and surrounding the area of injury and pain with the laser treatment beam. With a repetitive sweeping motion, photons of laser light penetrate the skin and underlying tissue and are absorbed by the cells that convert them into energy.
Many insurance plans cover sports therapy services under physical therapy or rehabilitation benefits. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm your specific benefits.
If you have questions about coverage or billing, our front desk team can also help clarify what services may be billed to insurance. Please note that RockTape and laser therapy cannot be billed to insurance and have additional charges.
At Prime Sports Med, we use the latest techniques and modalities to help our patients achieve their goals. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to improve your performance, we’re here to help.
