At Apogee Wellness, we provide comprehensive, science-based physical therapy services designed to restore function, eliminate pain, and optimize performance. Our offerings include traditional physical therapy, dry needling, VO₂ max and resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing, and precision strength testing using cutting-edge tools. We specialize in individualized exercise programming to correct muscular imbalances, support injury recovery, improve cardiovascular health, and help clients reach their peak physical potential.

VO₂ max testing is a scientific assessment that measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It’s considered one of the most accurate indicators of cardiovascular and aerobic fitness.

In practical terms, VO₂ max tells us how efficiently your heart, lungs, and muscles work together when you're pushing your body to its limit. The higher your VO₂ max, the better your body is at delivering and using oxygen — which means greater endurance, improved performance, and better overall health.

Benefits of VO₂ Max Testing:

Provides an accurate snapshot of your current fitness level

Helps identify personalized heart rate and training zones

Tracks improvements over time with measurable data

Guides more effective and efficient training plans

Reduces the risk of overtraining or plateaus

Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize performance or someone focused on improving general health and wellness, VO₂ max testing offers valuable insight to help you train smarter and achieve your goals with confidence.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest — essentially, the energy required to keep your body functioning while you're not physically active (breathing, circulating blood, digesting, etc.). It’s the foundation of your metabolism and plays a critical role in weight management, nutrition planning, and overall health.

Knowing your RMR takes the guesswork out of how much you should be eating or burning each day. Instead of relying on general formulas or estimates, you get precise, personalized data.

Benefits of RMR Testing:

Understand your individual calorie needs for weight loss, maintenance, or gain

Create more accurate and effective nutrition and fitness plans

Avoid under-eating or over-eating based on generic guidelines

Monitor changes in metabolism due to age, training, or health conditions

Gain insight into how your metabolism supports your health and goals

It doesn’t matter if you’re working toward weight management, athletic performance, or simply better health, RMR testing provides the personalized information you need to fuel your body more effectively and reach your goals with greater confidence.

Handheld dynamometry is a reliable, science-backed method for measuring muscle strength using a compact device that captures how much force your muscles can produce during specific movements. At Apogee Wellness, we use the VALD DynaMo system — a state-of-the-art tool known for its accuracy and consistency.

The VALD DynaMo allows us to assess strength across different muscle groups with precision, identify asymmetries or weaknesses, and track progress over time. Whether you're training for performance, recovering from injury, or just wanting a clearer picture of your physical health, this data helps guide smarter, more personalized decisions.

Benefits of Strength Testing with the VALD DynaMo:

Delivers accurate, objective measurements of muscle strength

Identifies strength imbalances that could lead to injury or limit performance

Supports rehab by tracking improvements and recovery milestones

Helps tailor strength training programs to your individual needs

Offers clear progress tracking for athletes, active individuals, or those in recovery

With the VALD DynaMo system, you gain valuable insight into your body’s strength — empowering you to train more effectively, prevent injuries, and move with greater confidence.

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by trained clinicians to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points—tight bands of muscle—to release tension, improve blood flow, and restore normal muscle function. This treatment can be highly effective for reducing pain, improving range of motion, and addressing underlying muscular imbalances that contribute to chronic discomfort or limited performance.

Physical therapy is a personalized, movement-based approach to healing and performance. It focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving strength and function through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education. Whether recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or working to prevent future issues, physical therapy helps address the root cause of dysfunction, supports long-term musculoskeletal health, and enhances overall quality of life.

We can provide you with a strategic, individualized approach to improving both general fitness and athletic performance. By assessing your unique strengths, limitations, and goals, these programs target muscular imbalances, movement inefficiencies, and cardiovascular capacity to create a clear, progressive path forward. Whether you're looking to build a healthier, stronger body or gain a competitive edge in your sport, personalized programming ensures your training is purposeful, effective, and aligned with your specific needs.
