HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP?
Sports injuries can typically be placed into two categories: acute or overuse. Acute injuries are caused by a single specific incident, such as:
• Manual therapy. This may include massage or joint mobilizations. • Modalities. This may include specialized treatments that your physical therapist has been certified to perform, such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation. • Therapeutic exercises. This may include any targeted movement to help you find relief, including, but not limited to: area-specific exercises, balance and coordination exercises, muscle performance exercises, range of motion exercises, posture exercises, and relaxation exercises. Physical therapy has been proven to be successful in treating both acute and chronic injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis, and more. Your physical therapist will teach you about what your body is experiencing and the recovery process it will go through. You and your physical therapist will work together to help you reach your physical goals, allowing you to be engaged and active in your rehabilitation. Physical therapy offers so much more than current symptom relief - it offers sports injury prevention and natural performance enhancement. If you are an athlete suffering from a sports-related injury, don’t waste any more time on the sidelines. Take your recovery to the next level with our physical therapy team.

“My ACL recovery had been progressing at another PT facility but had stopped progressing in more improvements. Here, within 2 weeks my quad strength had improved and also the tightness within my knee. Also, my quad had increased in size. That has been very exciting to see the improvements in such a quick turn around. I am excited to continue to see more growth and healing in my ACL recovery to get this lifetime skier back on the mountain slopes where she belongs. Thank You.” - T.H.
