Understanding Chronic Conditions
Chronic conditions often result from repetitive stress or injury, leading to swelling, pain, and difficulty performing movements such as walking, running, or jumping.
Symptoms and Their Impact
The symptoms of chronic conditions can significantly affect your quality of life:
- Persistent pain or discomfort in the affected area
- Swelling and tenderness: around the affected area, which may worsen with activity
- Tingling or numbness
- Weakness or loss of strength
- Reduced or limited range of motion
- Difficulty performing tasks that require fine motor skills
Early screening and intervention are essential to prevent symptom progression and achieve optimal recovery outcomes.
What Causes Chronic Injuries?
Chronic injuries can be triggered by several factors, including:
Overuse and Repetitive Activities: Repetitive motions can lead to the overuse and strain of specific muscle groups.
Insufficient Recovery: Previous muscle injuries can weaken affected areas, increasing vulnerability.
Past Injuries: Older injuries may lead to scar tissue formation or compensation patterns.
Biomechanical Irregularities: Abnormal mechanics or structure can raise the risk of injury.
Degenerative Changes: Wear and tear from aging or arthritis can affect joints and tissues.
Lack of Conditioning: Weak or underdeveloped muscles are more prone to injury.
Poor Posture or Technique: In both daily activities and sports, incorrect form can contribute to injury.
Comprehensive Evaluation
At ActivAxion, our personalized care plans focus not only on relieving symptoms but also on addressing the root cause of your condition—unlike many therapies that target symptoms alone.
Our evaluation process includes a thorough examination of the injured area, an assessment of your movement patterns to identify compensations, and a review of your medical history to accurately evaluate and understand the extent of your injury. We take a holistic approach and combine it with lifestyle guidance. It’s essential to identify what’s contributing to your pain and why progress may have stalled.

Not only do you get active treatment during your sessions, but follow-up content that includes stretches and exercises that are tailored to your needs, which incorporates both written and visual instructions. I have been getting treated by Mario for chronic pain in my hip and shoulder, and by the third visit those ailments were gone. I was truly impressed by his level of knowledge and the rapidity with which he is able to identify and treat the source of the problem. I cannot recommend both Activ Axion and Mario enough!Posted on Christina StalloneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had an amazing experience with Gabrielle Khreiche. She has been helping me with some postpartum issues after having had a c section. She’s attentive, caring and always willing to try something new with our treatments. I’m grateful to have met her. She gives me hope that things will get better. You won’t regret a session with her. She actually genuinely cares for her patients.Posted on Norman ArsenyanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Treatment options are tailored but not before doing a full body mapping to find the issues to tackle. Activ Axion is my go-to.Posted on Anoush GundjianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Mario to anyone looking to clear up their physical ailments. My daughter was suffering from long-standing shin splints. Mario was very detailed and conscientious throughout his investigation and manipulations which not only healed her injury but also pin pointed weaknesses to be worked on. He sent us graphical and video demonstrations assisting her with at-home exercises. He did not force more treatment sessions than she actually needed. We feel very lucky to have found Mario as an Athletic Therapist!Posted on susan mouradTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't thank my athletic therapist Mario enough for the incredible care and expertise. After struggling with shoulder pain, he not only helped relieve my pain but guided me through a full recovery. His knowledge, attention to detail, and tailored treatment plan made all the difference. I'm now back to doing what I love, pain-free. Highly recommend Mario to anyone looking for real results and long-term healing!Posted on Jamie ElaloufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
