Diagnosing the Problem: How We Figure Out What’s Really Going On

Start with Awareness — Then Get the Right Help

You may already have a hunch. Maybe you feel a sharp pull every time you lift something, or your knee gives out when you jog. That’s your body signaling something needs attention.

In-Person Evaluations at DPT Lubbock

Our evaluations are not rushed. We dig deep with:

• Full-body movement analysis

• Range of motion and strength testing

• Functional mobility assessments

• Joint and soft tissue evaluation

• Detailed discussion of your pain history and goals

We take a full-picture approach. You’d be surprised how many times someone comes in for hip pain, and it turns out their core and ankle mechanics are contributing to the issue.

Know the Red Flags

Some situations need a faster response. If you’re noticing:

• Sudden, sharp weakness

• Loss of sensation

• Swelling or instability after a fall

• Shooting pain down your limbs

• Pain that wakes you up at night

…it’s time to stop waiting and book a professional assessment. We’ll either get you started or refer you to the right specialist.

What Physical Therapy Looks Like in Our Lubbock Clinic

You won’t be sitting around doing the same exercises as the person next to you. Our plans are built for your body and your goals.

Hands-On Manual Therapy

This includes soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and joint work to reduce restrictions and improve movement.

Strength & Mobility Training

We don’t just strengthen muscles — we retrain patterns. This is where pain reduction meets performance. We’ll work on:

• Core stability

• Hip/shoulder mobility

• Glute activation

• Proper lifting mechanics

• Balance and coordination drills

Dry Needling (If It’s Right for You)

If you’ve got deep muscle tension, spasms, or trigger points, dry needling can be an effective addition to treatment.

Return to Sport or Activity Training

Once you’re out of pain, we shift focus toward reconditioning and sport-specific drills to prevent re-injury and optimize performance.

Education and Long-Term Strategy

We make sure you walk out understanding what caused the issue and how to keep it from coming back. That includes at-home exercises, mobility tips, and ongoing strategies.

Keeping the Pain From Coming Back: Prevention Starts Now

We’re big on prevention. Most injuries don’t come out of nowhere — they build over time. That’s why, even after you feel better, we equip you with the tools to stay that way.

Here’s What We Focus On Post-Rehab:

• Lifestyle awareness – Desk setup, lifting mechanics, sleep posture

• Strength progression – Not just lifting, but lifting well

• Mobility routines – Short, consistent drills for key joints

• Sport/Job-specific mechanics – If you do it every day, we train it safely

• Recovery protocols – Foam rolling, rest days, and active recovery work

You won’t just leave our Lubbock clinic feeling better. You’ll leave with a blueprint for staying better.

The Next Step Is Yours — Schedule with DPT Physical Therapy and Performance in Lubbock

We get it — reaching out for help can feel like a hassle, especially if you’ve been dealing with the same issue for a while. But here’s the truth:

If you’re hurting, limited, or stuck, the only thing that changes if you wait… is time. The pain doesn’t solve itself. The stiffness doesn’t work itself out. And avoiding movement just leads to more restrictions down the line.

You don’t need to live like this.

At DPT Physical Therapy and Performance in Lubbock, we’re here to get you unstuck — with a plan that’s clear, effective, and tailored to you.
