News: BioMechanic Physical Therapy Becomes Newest Sponsor of VivaLoudoun.com

By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor

(Feb. 23, 2011) - VivaLoudoun.com announced today that BioMechanic Physical Therapy has become the newest sponsor of the growing website's coverage of high school sports and education news in Loudoun County, Va.

BioMechanic Physical Therapy (BMPT), located in Lansdowne, has seven manual therapists on staff. In addition to a foot and ankle specialist and a spine specialist, BMPT also treats the entire body with therapists who treat hands, shoulders, scoliosis, migraines, pre and post surgery and even pediatrics.

"At VivaLoudoun we are always looking for sponsors that offer a valuable service to our fans and the healthcare professionals at BioMechanic Physical Therapy can help everybody from the high school athlete to their grandparents," said VivaLoudoun editor Dan Sousa.

The idea behind the name BioMechanic Physical Therapy has to do with the mechanics of how the body works. BMPT believes that in order to solve a physical ailment, you must analyze why it happened, and correct the mechanical problem that created it. Of course, not all problems fit in this category, such as injury due to accident or disease. BMPT treats those as well.

BioMechanic Physical Therapy offers a hard-to-find method, called muscle energy technique, for treating back and neck pain that has been very successful.

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) was developed by Dr. Fred Mitchell, and the technique aims at relaxing muscle spasms and helping to restore proper joint alignment. MET is basically an electro-physiological trick that encourages muscles to relax more quickly than normal. MET is a non-invasive direct hands-on therapy. MET can be used to treat almost all joints in the body.

BioMechanic Physical Therapy is located at 19441 Golf Vista Plaza, Suite 340, in Lansdowne, VA 20176. Contact them by phone at (703)-723-7726 or by fax (703)-723-9587. Their hours are Monday to Friday 7-7 and Saturdays 8-2.
