We are are a sports medicine and rehabilitation clinic located in the Carillon area of St. Petersburg.

We work with athletes AND active individuals who are:

  • 1.  struggling with chronic pain that limits their activities and reduces their function and performance, or are
  • 2.  frustrated that other treatments and procedures they've tried just don't seem to work, or are
  • 3.  concerned that surgery may be the only option because they're just not aware of other possible treatments

At Tri-Core Performance Therapy, we put people in pain back in the game.

Referring Healthcare Providers

What types of patients or conditions would warrant a referral to Tri-Core Performance Therapy?

  1. Those patients you suspect of having a soft tissue injury that is not responding to your care.

  2. Patients who have failed to make a complete functional recovery with conservative care. They are still not 100% or as well or strong as they would like to be. Many of these patients have residual biomechanical faults resultant from dysfunctional periarticular soft tissues. The very muscles that are integral to the articular lesion have very often not been treated properly. They likely have soft tissue issues in the surrounding tissues that were not addressed during rehab/PT. Often a patient will have several problems and specific soft tissue work may be needed to complete the job.

        3.  Symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling, aching, burning,  pulling, and decreased range of motion.

       4. When all conventional tests (MRI, CT, EMG, blood work) are negative, yet the symptoms persist. There are no technological tests for soft tissue problems. Usually, they must be determined by physical examination by a practitioner skilled at detecting altered tissue texture, tension, and movement.
