When you’re an athlete, an injury can be devastating, but injuries to critical motions of your sport can be especially difficult. Typically, a sports-related injury can happen because of a traumatic event, muscle weakness or imbalance, fatigue, poor form (leading to overuse), or bad alignment.

Thankfully, sports-related injuries can be counteracted with rehabilitation specific to your sport. Initially, treatment is focused on reducing pain and inflammation while maintaining joint and soft-tissue mobility and muscle contractability. Various modalities are incorporated during this time (electrical stimulation, extracorporeal shockwave treatment, cryotherapy) as well as manual therapy techniques and exercises that will not promote inflammation or exacerbate symptoms. After a period of time, sport-specific strengthening and stabilization activities are incorporated to prepare an athlete to return to the sports they love without the risk of re-injury. Our expert PTs break down each movement, identify areas that require isolated help, and recreate the movement pattern in a way that prevents future injuries.
