Regenerative Dry Needling
. Dry needling is a treatment technique used to help resolve muscle, joint, and nerve dysfunction. This unique procedure is designed to specifically target and restore tissue function. It is essential to correct these issues because continued activity with poor muscle function can lead to further damage and increased pain. Dry needling increased blood flow, oxygen to the area to allow it to heal faster and naturally.
Dry needling uses a very fine needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying muscular and connective tissue trigger points. Trigger points are tight bands of skeletal muscles, or “knots,” located within a larger muscle group, and can be tender to the touch. Dry needling can reduce muscle tension and spasms, decrease inflammation, reduce tissue adhesions, and accelerate a patient’s return to active rehabilitation.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction which is used to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. Cupping therapy is often used by athletes to help recover from sports injuries. It increases blood flow to the area. This increased blood flow can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Cupping therapy can be used to treat a variety of sports injuries, including muscle strains and sprains, joint pain, and tendonitis. It can also be used to help alleviate pain and stiffness in the back, neck, and shoulders.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM)
IASTM is an innovative, patented form of soft tissue mobilization that effectively breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas that are exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation and increase blood flow to the area

Bloodflow Restriction Therapy
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy, also known as occlusion training, is a form of exercise therapy that involves restricting blood flow to the muscles during exercise. The goal of BFR therapy is to increase muscle strength and size without having to lift heavy weights or perform high-intensity exercise.
During BFR therapy, a special cuff is placed around the affected limb, such as an arm or leg, and tightened to restrict blood flow. This causes the muscles to work harder and stimulates the release of hormones that promote muscle growth and repair.
BFR therapy is often used by athletes to help recover from sports injuries, particularly when they are unable to perform high-intensity exercises due to pain or limited mobility. BFR therapy can help to improve muscle strength, endurance, and function without putting additional stress on the injured area.
I spent several weeks at a different PT location and decided to give Pursue PT a visit. I accomplished more in the first session at Pursue than weeks at the other place. Immediately, you can tell you are in good hands when you walk through the door. A personable and professional staff that takes the time to listen to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan specifically for you. The communication within the office is second to none which translates to consistent treatment and faster results. Whatever your injury, whatever your motivation: Pursue PT is a must.
Great experience all around! Went in with an Crossfit induced injury, and after treatment was able to return to my regular routine!
I do powerlifting and came to Dr. Cruz with both a knee issue and a partially torn labrum in my shoulder. Right away I was struck by the fact that instead of most physical therapists who just mindlessly give you exercises to do, he took time to troubleshoot what hurt and find what things fixed the pain.
I've struggled with shoulder pain for years and actually gave up on it and gave up recovering my ability to weight lift and be active especially after i had a bad experience with one Physical therapist who basically didn't care and only wanted to be paid. I saw no reason to trust physical therapists anymore until one day Pursue Physical Therapy was recommended to me by my brother. I trust my brother's judgement in fitness couches and trainers since we are both physically active and I started at Pursue Physical Therapy 3 weeks ago.
Brandon (PT) took the time necessary to get me to a better place than I have been in years. I'm getting more mobility in my arm, I'm not in pain everyday and I am pleasantly surprised with how far I have come already. I still need more work, but Brandon has earned my trust. If I ask a question he will give me all the information related to it and even teach the science behind what he is doing. Most physical therapists take you in, collect your co-pay, have you move some things around for 30 minutes to an hour and that's it. Brandon is not like that at all. When he works on you, you're his main priority and focus. He doesn't just train you, he works WITH you and makes sure you understand what your doing and why you're doing it.
Brandon has a passion for doing what he does and it shows. I'm seeing that with his training and guidance I'm going to be back to what I love doing before I know it.
I came to Dr. Cruz a few months ago with constant headaches, neck pain, and TMJ. He was optimistic that in a few sessions I would start feeling the tension and aches subside. He did not disappoint! In those sessions Dr. Cruz was extremely knowledgable and thorough as well as took his time explaining why certain exercises were done and the benefit from them. Through his precision using dry needling and manipulation techniques, I recommend him to all !!
