Deep Dive Assessment and Diagnosis to Find the Root Cause

A thorough physical assessment & diagnosis forms an integral part of BWPT's approach to treating the whole body, not just a complaint in isolation.

This service is fundamental to ensuring our patients’ long-term health and wellness rather than providing short-term fixes that keep coming back.

Sports-Specific Treatment and Training

BWPT provides rehab specific to your sport!

You won't find cookie cutter PT here. We are athletes ourselves, and we know how important it is to stay in the game and to be able to perform at your best. Following an injury, it is important to not only rehab to a baseline level of function, but to be confident that you can perform at the best of your ability without fear of re-injury. We got you!

Dry Needling Abilene Physical Therapy - BODY WORX PT

Dry Needling

All of the therapists at BWPT are Dry Needling certified and we utilize this form of treatment frequently in conjunction with other interventions to address muscle spasms and myofascial trigger points.

​Dry needling uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying trigger points in muscle and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain, tightness, and movement impairments.

Blood Flow Restriction Training

Personalized blood flow restriction training (BFR) is a game-changing therapy that utilizes specialized tourniquets to safely regulate & control limb occlusion pressure for some pretty amazing training outcomes! 

In short, PBFR allows you to exercise & lift at lower loads with similar results you would achieve when lifting 65% or greater of your 1 rep max.

BFR is a great application for those overcoming injuries or those who may have just had surgery and are under lifting precautions.

At BODY WORX PT, we use BFR to help our athletes/patients:

  • Diminish atrophy and loss of strength from disuse after injuries

  • Increase strength with only 20-30% loads

  • Increase hypertrophy with only 20-30% loads

  • Improve muscle endurance in 1/3 the time

  • Improve muscle protein synthesis in the elderly

  • Improve strength and hypertrophy after surgery

  • Improve muscle activation

  • Increase growth hormone responses
