Are injuries keeping you out of the game?
Are you struggling to recover after a mild injury?
At Loudoun Sports Therapy Center in Sterling, VA we offer a Return To Play Program for athletes & weekend warriors. This program is for athletes recovering from injury or surgery and was designed by our Certified Athletic Trainers.
Injury prevention is our goal but recovering from injury is essential.
Athletes who suffer injuries are generally more prone to repeat injuries due to prior weakness and muscle imbalances. Some injuries allow for a quicker recovery, while other injuries may take significantly longer and require a few weeks of physical therapy. At LSTC, we offer our return to play program as a post physical therapy option.
What is a return to play program?
Physical therapy focuses on helping an athlete improve strength, range of motion, balance and mobility while relieving pain and inflammation. Once those have been handled, our return to play program offers the athlete a sport-specific personalized program. This program works to safely, effectively and quickly return the athlete back to playing their sport at full intensity. During your sessions, the athletic trainers constantly assess your needs related to joint proprioception, drive, power, agility and ability to change direction quickly.
Do I need to have physical therapy before starting a return to play program?
Yes. It is our professional opinion that an injury should be treated with physical therapy first. This allows us to manage pain, inflammation, and assess you for more acute needs before working on higher level programs. Once the physical therapist has cleared you to return to play, we will start the program.
If you’re suffering from a recent or long standing injury, call now to schedule a personal physical therapy evaluation. We will help you recover from your injury and get you back to playing on the court or field.
We offer physical therapy centrally located to Fairfax and Loudoun County. LIVE LIFE Pain Free with Physical Therapy!
