Welcome to SPORTS THERAPY PLUS, a clinic specializing in chronic pain & sports related injuries.

MY APPROACH To chronic pain

Hi, I’m Kevin, founder of Sports Therapy Plus. I help people in the Citrus Heights, Roseville, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Folsom and the greater Sacramento area overcome chronic pain, sports injuries, and movement dysfunctions using NeuroKinetic Therapy, advanced manual therapy, and corrective exercise. Most of my clients find me when traditional therapies have failed to resolve their pain. Rather than simply treating where it hurts, my approach focuses on identifying the underlying movement patterns and muscular imbalances that may be contributing to the problem. I have worked with everyone from world-class professional athletes to active adults, weekend warriors, and people simply trying to move through everyday life without pain. Common conditions I work with include:

  • Neck pain

  • Shoulder pain

  • Low back pain

  • Hip pain

  • Knee pain

  • Ankle & foot pain

  • Elbow, wrist, & hand pain

  • TMJ dysfunction

  • Sciatica

  • Headaches

  • Sports injuries

  • Recurring injuries

  • Chronic muscle tightness

  • Postural dysfunction

  • Sports performance & injury prevention

 

Bridging the gap between rehab and performance

As each client and condition presents with very unique symptoms and history, every session is completely customized to fit the needs of the client. While I am certified in many techniques and protocols, the primary tool I use is NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT).

NKT is an assessment system that uses manual muscle testing to identify specific dysfunctional patterns and muscular compensation patterns leading to pain. Instead of focusing only where pain is felt, the goal is to identify the root cause of why the body developed that compensation in the first place. Each appointment begins with a detailed assessment. Once specific compensation patterns are identified, treatment is directed toward restoring proper communication between the brain and muscles before reinforcing those changes with corrective exercises. Many clients notice the immediate positive changes in their pain and movement. The client can instantly tell the difference and they are always blown away with the sniper precision results. Homework is also given to the client to ensure that we are re-educating the nervous system over time to learn a new pattern, one that does not include the previous painful experience.

  • Ally Reite - Auburn, CA

    I have been an athlete my whole life and have been to many people who do body work, massage therapy, PT, etc, and Kevin is the very best. I have a history of planter fasciitis, sprained ankles, and tendon issues in my lower legs. After my first appointment I was so impressed by his knowledge and how he took the time to fully explain everything to me. No one had ever told me why the same nagging injuries continued to bug me year after year. Kevin goes above and beyond and it’s obvious how much he cares and how much he wants people to heal. I have been completely pain-free since I started seeing him and I recommend him to everyone I know.


  • Rachel Wilhite - New Smyrna Beach, FL

    You fixed my rotator cuff which prevented surgery, you fixed knee pain that I had for about six years after a trail running injury, you fixed tightness in my neck and shoulders by correcting my diaphragm, you got my nervous system in alignment so that I could lift again… you found the root cause of my dysfunction every time and corrected it from there! Everyone needs you and everyone needs NKT. THANK YOU, Kevin!

  • Brandon Bunning - Fair Oaks, CA

    I have been dealing with lower back pain for the last 20 yrs. After one session with kevin, it started to feel better. After the third session my back pain was gone. I had also been dealing with elbow pain (tennis and golfers elbow) for over a year. After the second session he figured out the root cause of the elbow pain and gave me homework to correct the issue and it was gone. I tried physical therapy and chiropractic for all of my issues with no improvement. Definitely recommend Kevin and his practice to anyone who is dealing with issues nobody else can resolve. goes here

  • Jake Cushard - Dallas, TX

    I am a 20 year old semi-pro golfer, basketball player, avid gym goer, and overall active person. I have had so many issues from low back pain, shin splints, overuse and tendonitis in my shoulders and elbow, neck issues, the list goes on. I tried regular massages, physical therapy, chiropractic, cupping, dry needling, Cryo-therapy, cold laser therapy, acupuncture, reflexology. I’ve tried needless to say, everything! All of that is a temporary fix, it helps for a little and then all the pain comes back. When I first went to see Kevin I was just trying something I had never done or heard of. Now I’ve been seeing Kevin for about 2 years now and have never been better. His advanced NKT techniques are incredible, the way he’s able to actually pinpoint the reason and problem causing all my pain is absolutely crazy. He is able to connect dots from tightness in the quad to low back and just draw connections from all over the body. Most places just focus on your pain and how to alleviate it. Kevin focuses on why you’re having the pain and how to cure it. Kevin is truly good at what he does and NKT is a very useful tool. Kevin is the only reason I can swing at 130mph without back pain anymore! If you have any kind of issues related to your body, Kevin is the man to check out. Thank you Kevin!

  • Tyler Arguello - Dallas, TX

    Effective, expert, transparent, compassionate. I cannot recommend Kevin enough to family, friends, colleagues, and anyone else. He treated two injuries; one from running and another from chronic repetitive stress. The first round for the running issue was treated and relieved immediately; I'm now back to full exercise and motion. The other issue was something I had lived with for almost two decades; had seen all the medical folks and done all the tests. Nothing treated and resolved the issue except for Kevin. He listens attentively, provides direct and honest feedback and assessment, and explains the issues and the treatments. His expertise is unsurpassed. goes here

  • Dr. Darrick L. | Sacramento, CA

    Kevin is a true one of a kind. I've been a practicing chiropractor for over 30 years. That makes me a bit of an expert in body care. I am particular when it comes to my own personal body therapist. When I'm referring my patients to Kevin, I simply tell them, you're going to someone who is very special. Kevin has devoted his life to the study of how the body works. The best metaphor I can use, is when you meet someone who knows computers really well. They start as kids, and they just get how to program and use any type of electronics. Well Kevin gets the body that way. He has all kinds of "extra" certifications in the body from personal training and massage therapy that expand his ability to "fix" things in ways I've never experienced in body practitioners be they doctors, therapists, or otherwise. That puts Kevin far above "just a massage therapist," but truly a "healer" far more valuable to what he charges. Kevin is part of my healing team and I highly recommend he be part of your healing team!

  • Karina Pyryev - Citrus Heights, CA

    This was the only thing that helped me feel better after a bad car accident that left me with a lot of neck and back pain. I have made amazing progress with the help of Kevin! He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful!
