Sports Medicine

Schedule An Appointment With Us

Sports medicine involves a comprehensive team of health care professionals trained in a variety of backgrounds, including physicians, exercise physiologists, athletic trainers, and physical therapists. Sports physical therapy emphasizes the prevention, identification, assessment, minimization, and correction of pain and disability associated with injuries sustained in athletic activities and problems that affect sport performance. The goal of treatment is to maximize participation and performance.

A physical therapist may use a variety of interventions to prevent and treat sports-related injuries, including but not limited to: pre-participation screening, cardiovascular, resistance, endurance and neuromuscular re-education exercise programs, taping and bracing, sport-specific ergonomic and training regimens, and orthopedic manual therapy. In addition to prevention and recovery, intervention to maximize performance includes a focus on improving speed, agility, explosiveness, balance, and coordination.

Who Will Benefit?

Although football and basketball athletes immediately come to mind and are frequently seen, many other types of athletes also benefit tremendously — golfers, tennis players, bikers, performing artists (music and dance), and soccer players among them. Whether it’s gardening, running, or golf, we can help you get to the top of your game!
