Sports Physical Therapy

Our sports physical therapy service addresses the needs of athletes across a wide range of sports and activities. It encompasses the following processes:

  • Improving strength and mobility for specific sports
  • Recovering from sports-related injuries
  • Relieving pain and swelling in the injured area
  • Correcting maladaptive movement patterns to prevent future injuries

Despite its name, sports physical therapy isn’t only for people who play sports or those recovering from sports-related injuries. It can also help non-athletes recover from certain injuries, such as:

  • Knee injuries
  • Shin splints
  • Muscle strains or pulled muscles
  • Sprains 

Once you experience any of these injuries, you are more likely to experience them again. Sports injury rehabilitation can help you strengthen injured areas and learn the proper movement patterns to avoid repeating the injury. 

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation 

One of the major goals of sports injury rehabilitation is to heal the injury without surgery. But some severe sports injuries require surgical intervention to achieve complete healing. 

Our post-surgical rehabilitation service can set you up for smooth rehabilitation after surgery. We’ll work with you before your surgical procedure to develop a post-surgical plan that details the steps and expected timeline for recovery. This treatment plan may include any of the following restorative therapies:

  • Exercise programs
  • Aquatic therapy
  • Electrical stimulation
  • Neuromuscular activation treatment

We’re committed to helping you regain control of your physical fitness after surgery so that you can get back to living an active life.
