How Physical Therapy Helps You Get You Back in the Game
When recovering from a sports injury, the expertise of a skilled physical therapist can make a world of difference. Our physical therapists comprehensively evaluate each patient to develop a tailored, evidence-based treatment plan that optimizes recovery time and ensures you can confidently return to your favorite sports and activities, feeling stronger than ever.
During your initial evaluation, we will thoroughly assess your medical history to gain a deep understanding of your injury and any pre-existing conditions. They will then evaluate your range of motion and strength, using precise measurements to identify areas requiring improvement.
Next, our specialists will perform functional movement screens to identify any biomechanical imbalances or movement dysfunctions that may have contributed to your injury or could hinder your recovery. Specialized sports testing, tailored to your sport, allows our physical therapists to analyze your performance and establish baselines for improvement.

- Manual therapy
- Therapeutic exercise
- Functional strengthening
- Agility and coordination training
- Sport-specific skills
The effectiveness of each treatment depends on the specific injury, individual factors, and adherence to the prescribed rehabilitation program. These results-oriented treatments are utilized in the clinic and as part of a home exercise program, ensuring consistent progress throughout your recovery.
