Services
Chiropractic
Our experienced chiropractic team blends chiropractic care and physical therapy to restore normal range of motion and improve your daily function. Our chiropractors utilize spinal adjustments to improve joint mobility and promote healing to help manage your pain and prevent future issues. We understand how your body moves and know that movement patterns are an important part of your patient journey.
Physical Therapy
We go beyond treating just your symptoms and identify the root cause of your discomfort. Our team walks you through in-depth movement assessments and uses manual therapy techniques to customize exercise programs tailored to your needs. We also educate you on your body mechanics, empowering you to manage pain and prevent future issues. Our goal is to improve your mobility, reduce your pain, and restore your proper movement so you move, feel, and live better.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapists know the value of working together with chiropractic care and physical therapy. Thats why we offer targeted, therapeutic massage therapy in tandem with these treatments. Our sports massage targets specific issues like muscle tightness, scar tissue, and limited range of motion, and our therapists are skilled in how physical and emotional trauma can impact your body, providing a supportive environment for your healing journey. We arent a one-size-fits-all solution. Every massage is tailored to your unique needs to actively manage pain and prevent future issues. Our focus is on function, not just relaxation.
Personal Training
We offer personalized training programs designed for all levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes. Our certified trainer creates customized plans based on your goals, limitations, and lifestyle. Our holistic approach encourages personal training with chiropractic care and nutrition coaching for a program that optimizes your entire well-being for peak performance.
Dry Needling
Dry needling utilizes thin, sterile needles inserted into specific muscles to elicit relaxation and normalize muscle tone. The needle insertion stimulates blood flow and circulation which can reduce inflammation throughout the muscle.
Running Gait Analysis
Running Performance Analysis assesses your running form to identify muscle imbalances, pain or discomfort, and areas for improvement. It can be helpful for runners of all levels, from beginners to elite athletes. The analysis will help to reduce your risk of injury, improve your performance, and enhance comfort.

Truly can not say enough great things about Resport and more specifically Sean! Not only has he been my go to chiro for almost 10 years, Ive moved away and done remote sessions and hes still managed to diagnose and give me the right exercises to get my body back right. He ensures you can continue the fitness goals you have while having a body to maintain the work. Ive tried to go to other body work places to get hands on care in new cities and nothing compares, Id fly across the globe to let Sean fix me!

By far the best chiropractor Ive been to. Adjustments + building functional strength is essential. Very hands on, professional, and very focused on helping you to not only live your best life but also help you continue doing so for the future ahead. Never felt stronger or healthier than I have since working with Resport. Fantastic for athletes or active lifestyles and can even do injury rehab

I've seen Dr. Cooney for over 5 years, and recently have started going once a week for preventive maintenance and overall wellness. Over the last few months he has helped with the mobility of my back and helped me hit new personal records in the gym. I had some foot pain problems in the fall and went to a podiatrist for it, who prescribed a walking boot and rest for a few weeks. I saw Dr. Cooney in the neighborhood and told him what the doctor said and he had me come in to take a look at it.
After examining me and watching my stride walking, he explained to me what was going on and showed me some exercises to correct it. By the time the session was over, the pain was gone and i didn't need to wear the walking boot anymore.

I've been dealing with pain and restricted motion in my left ankle for almost a decade as a result of repeated sports-related injuries - working with Sean on a regular basis has left me feeling better than I have in years. Thanks to regular adjustments and physical therapy sessions, I've been able to maintain a highly active lifestyle with much less pain. Sean also is a just a friendly person who cares about his patients. I always look forward to my appointments.

Woke up with severe neck pain and was able to get a same day appointment. After one adjustment with Dr. Sean my stiffness has been alleviated and I'm already feeling the mobility return. The entire staff were extremely nice, friendly and knowledgable. Looking forward to my next appointment!

Resport has helped me overcome my car accident injury that caused me to be less active than I wanted for many years. Now I run, play volleyball, rock climb. I highly recommend them to anyone for injuries, especially athletes. They are a great team!

Sean Cooney has work on my back multiple times. And there is no one else I trust to do so. The knowledge he posses on any injury I have ever has helped me continue to play rugby at high level. He was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable for anything I was uncertain about

I went to RESPORT after a back injury, and really enjoyed my time there! The receptionist is so kind and welcoming, along with Grizzly! Dr. Cooney and Dr. Hershey were very accommodating and understanding, their hours range widely so I was able to find time before and after work to come. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for sports medicine, physical therapy, or a chiropractor!

Dr. Sean has been a huge help working through back and hip pain/discomfort that stemmed from working from home in a less than ideal setup during the pandemic. His approach to integrating both chiropractic care and physical therapy is unique, and one that I found much more effective than other chiropractors I've gone to in the past. I will continue using the stretches and exercises that we've worked on forever as they are such a help. I cannot recommend Dr. Sean enough!

I had an amazing experience at this clinic. The care I received was top-notch and everyone is extremely professional. Not just your basic small chiro clinic, Dr. Cooney truly offers a well-rounded clinical approach for treating athletes before, during and after injuries.

Dr. Cooney is knowledgable, kind and efficient! I feel better after each visit and leave educated on my condition with exercises to complete at home to continue my treatment away from the office. Cannot recommend this practice enough!

Dr. Sean Cooney is fantastic. I've seen him for everything from herniated disks to displaced ribs; he takes a holistic approach to treatment and goes beyond just standard adjustments, including looking at the muscles and provides insight into what can be done at home to maintain.
