Our physical therapists are highly experienced in both diagnosing and treating muscle strains. When treating a strain, 3 steps are typically followed: 1. Your physical therapist will focus on pain relief. This is done with passive physical therapy methods, including manual therapy, ice and heat therapies, light stretches, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation. 2. Once your pain is managed, your physical therapist will focus on promoting the healing process of your muscle strain. This will include strengthening and range of motion exercises, in order to help regain optimal function of the affected area. 3. After your muscle strain is healed, your physical therapist will focus on preventing injury from occurring in the affected area again in the future. This will be done with targeted strengthening exercises, in order to build muscle around the affected area and reduce your risk of injuring it again in the future. We can also help you prevent injuries before they even occur with our sports training programs. The goal of these programs is to create a pre-season environment where young athletes can enhance their skills and techniques, in order to ensure a safe and successful sports season. These programs prioritize important aspects of athletic training, such as:
