Atlas PT & Sports Medicine_The Role PT Plays

RECOVERY WITH NO SURGERY! Rather than a “one-size-fits-all approach,” we believe every patient is unique and deserves a program tailored to their specific situation and goals. You are not merely treated but are guided towards a pathway of enhanced performance and overall well-being. We will ensure you don’t just return to your sport or activity, but that you return better than before! WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSIONS Rehabilitation for an athlete should start immediately following most injuries to ensure the fastest recovery possible. One of our clinicians will thoroughly evaluate the athlete to determine the injury’s severity and identify any other weaknesses or limitations that may affect the athlete’s recovery, stability, or strength. Next, your therapist will create a targeted, individualized plan of care for you to promote accelerated recovery and future injury prevention. Our goal is to minimize the risk of needing surgery, so you get back to training and competing in the sport you love. For example, your physical therapist will start with pain management, restoring mobility to the injured area, and preventing any unneccesary strength loss. Next, we will focus on progressing your strength, power, and dynamic stability to prepare us for sport-specific progressions. Lastly, we will incorporate your specific sport’s demands to ensure there is no gap between what you have tested in rehab and what you will experience on the field, court, or in the gym. Physical therapy at Atlas Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine will provide the foundation for successful training while reducing future injuries and avoiding surgery! CONSIDERING PHYSICAL THERAPY?
