Rehabilitation Therapy for Sports Injuries

We understand the drive to return to sport after an injury and how nagging pain can keep you from enjoying it. With a proper diagnosis and rehabilitation plan, many sports injuries can heal without surgery. Whether you have a muscle strain or chronic pain, we offer therapies to reduce inflammation and promote healing, while helping you increase activity gradually and safely.

How We Help

Our rehabilitation therapists treat both children and adults and are trained and board-certified in a variety of specialties, including sports and orthopaedics. This advanced training encompasses everything from acute and emergency care to treatment of chronic sports-related conditions.

  • Diagnosis of sports-related conditions: We pin-point the source of your pain through comprehensive testing and examination grounded in current research 
  • Rehabilitation therapy plan: Your custom plan will include physical or occupational therapy in one of our care locations. Our therapists may use specialized equipment to help in your recovery, as well as teach you exercises for your injury that you can do at home.
  • We also offer specialized programs for performing artists, runners and golfers.
  • Injury prevention
    • Pre-participation screening before starting a sports season
    • Screening for body mechanics and movement patterns that may lead to pain or injury
    • Tailored education and training programs to help you adjust your technique to avoid injury
  • Maximizing your performance: Assessment of your athletic form and mechanics to identify areas for improvement
  • Return to sport evaluation: Sport- and injury-specific evaluation to assess your readiness to return to a particular competition or activity.

Olympian Taylor Knibb holding up a world marathon championship series.

They were able to tailor physical therapy not only specific to what I needed to do as an athlete, but also for me as a healthy 22-year-old female. They have some pretty unique tools at the center and were able to analyze my gait in addition to doing traditional physical therapy.”
