What is sports physical therapy?

For athletes facing injury, the ultimate goal of sports rehab is to return them to their individualized sport. Unfortunately, with traditional physical therapy, there is often a large gap between rehabilitation after an injury or surgery and returning to sports. We bridge this gap with sports physical therapy to reduce re-injury and complications after surgery and improve sports performance.

Benefits of sports physical therapy

While your particular injury and level of activity you’re working toward will dictate the specific sports physical therapy techniques used, you can expect benefits like decreased inflammation, relief of spasms, improved tissue healing, better balance and coordination, and regained strength. We’ll provide a personalized, sport-specific physical therapy program designed to improve mobility and return you to pre-injury function.
