  • Muscle strains
  • Ligament sprains
  • Joint pain and arthritis
  • Pre- and post- surgical care
  • Balance issues and falls

Individualized plans

The first visit is designed to understand the impairments from your journey. From this visit, we will design an individualized treatment plan that can involve a multimodal approach.

Treatment strategies may include 

  • A specific exercise prescription
  • Balance exercises
  • Soft tissue mobilization
  • Joint mobilization and manipulation
  • Dry needling
  • Vestibular rehabilitation

This will ensure that your care is unique to you and where you are at within your journey.

Oncology Rehabilitation

Geaux Fight works closely with your oncologists to understand the phases of your journey. Typically, after your initial diagnosis, your care will transform into different phases.

Your oncology team may recommend possible interventions such as surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy (or some form of targeted therapy). The staff at Geaux Fight understands how each phase can affect you differently. Your side effects change based on your treatment plan.

Geaux Fight will adapt our treatment strategies to improve your quality of life throughout each phase of treatment. A significant amount of education will be provided to allay fears and improve and understanding of expectations. 

Manual Therapy

One of the dividing factors between Geaux Fight and traditional physical therapy clinics is the amount of hands-on treatments that are provided. Although this isn’t always warranted, often it’s necessary to provide additional manual therapy techniques to address restrictions.

Manual therapy techniques include soft tissue massage, scar mobilization, and myofascial techniques. The main goal is to find the source dysfunction and correct it. This also includes lymphatic massage directed at detoxifying congested tissues and improving your overall health and tissue mobility.

The founder of Geaux Fight, Gin Callais, is one of a few Fellows in the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy in Louisiana. This is extensive post-graduate training that takes many years to complete with hundreds of hours of supervision. Therapists at Geaux Fight are trained with an added skill set that provides a specific touch to help you move and feel better.
