Sports physical therapy provides treatment to athletes and physically active people who want to return to their sport or activity with restored function and improved overall performance. Our patients with sports injuries are treated with the latest research-based approaches to athletic rehabilitation. Proper rehabilitation not only ensures better performance, but provides a safeguard against future injuries.
Sports physical therapy is a hands-on treatment approach geared to athletes and physically active people suffering from pain or injury. Physical therapy is a non-invasive form of treatment with the end goal of returning the patient to their sport or activity with enhanced performance and reduced risk of re-injury, without medications or surgery.
Sometimes, sports medicine physical therapy follows surgery, helping the athlete to regain confidence and restore functional mobility. A sports physical therapist can monitor a patient’s progress using advanced technology, to ensure the athlete is sufficiently rehabilitated to safely return to play.
Injured athletes often suffer from compensation imbalances and loss of confidence in the injured limb. We use virtual reality feedback training to build strength, agility and confidence, to reduce the risk of injury upon return to play. Our rehabilitation exercises are progressive, designed to offer greater challenges as the injury heals and the athlete grows stronger.
Sports physical therapy can provide injury prevention as well as rehab. An uninjured athlete can benefit from gait or mechanical analysis, and improve their overall performance through feedback and retraining. Recreational runners can benefit from our running gait clinic, to learn to run smarter and prevent common injuries.
