Sports-Specific Exercises

It makes sense that your physical therapy should reflect those differences. Our advanced physical therapy treatment plans, include sports-specific exercises tailored to the motions and stresses of your individual sport. Our ATC works along side your therapist to develop exercises that target the muscles and joints you use most. These exercises help you rebuild strength and endurance specific to your sport.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Hands-on techniques play a significant role in advanced physical therapy treatment for sports injuries. Manual therapy involves the therapist using their hands to manipulate your muscles and joints. Techniques like massage, joint mobilization, and many others can reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve circulation. These methods help relax tight muscles and break up scar tissue, making it easier for your body to heal.
