THE ROLE PHYSICAL THERAPY PLAYS IN PREVENTING SURGERY FOR SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES
Tailored Plans After an Injury If you are trying to avoid surgery and wonder if physical therapy can prevent or delay it, the simple answer is yes! Most orthopedic-type surgeries are not urgent or emergencies. Although traumatic situations can be emergencies, most times, there is a significant period of time between diagnosis and surgery. Far too often, people mistake their symptoms for signs to rest or avoid the activities causing them pain. Even more frequent is the number of people who ignore aches and pains, thinking they will go away on their own, only to discover those early warning signs were the body’s signals to get help. Unfortunately, rest, avoidance, and trying to ignore or push through pain only lead to a bigger, often more complex, problem. At Restore Physical Therapy, our physical therapists will weed through your symptoms and identify the root cause of your particular situation. We will give you the tools to prevent, delay, or prepare yourself for surgery.
If you’re an athlete or enjoy playing sports, injuries are, unfortunately, a common occurrence. Fortunately, our Restore Physical Therapy physical therapists can help you recover after an injury and avoid the need for surgery in many cases. Our team can help guide you through the preventive steps you can take to minimize your risk of sports injuries. If you sustain an injury, we’ll identify all the factors related to your injury and address them one by one. Through our specialized programs, we can help you recover and improve your physical capabilities. We’ll take a holistic approach that fortifies your overall health and improves the skills necessary to maximize your athletic performance. If you’re an athlete looking to recover after an injury, prevent surgery, and get an edge on the field, court, or weight room, we can help. Our therapist-led programs are designed to help athletes withstand the physical demands of sports more effectively, minimizing the incidence of an injury and the need for surgery.

We’ll guide you through a gradual progression to make sure you are ready to return without any limitations or impairments standing in your way. This cautious approach ensures a safer and more effective recovery process. 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! What to Expect at Your Physical Therapy Sessions Rehabilitation should start immediately following most injuries to ensure the fastest recovery possible. One of our physical therapists with sports rehab experience 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 and restoring mobility to the injured area. Next, we will focus on progressing your strength and dynamic stability exercises to restore function and prevent injuries. We will also incorporate balance and coordination exercises to stimulate the nervous system and help ensure you can run, jump, and cut to change direction, land in the correct position, and avoid future injuries.

In the state of New Jersey, you have direct access to physical therapy! Why not use it!

“Dr. Kyle was very knowledgeable about how to help treat my condition. Migraines and muscle tightness in shoulders were the major issues, so we worked on neck and shoulder exercises three times a week. My migraines have improved and are now only once or twice a week instead of 3-4 times. My range of neck motion has improved. The facility is clean and tidy with multiple rooms and equipment for treating many conditions. Staff are friendly and helpful. Friendly conversations between staff and patients make it an enjoyable and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend.” — Vicky O. — Actual 5 Star Google Review
Looking for a break from your usual fitness routine? Dive into aquatic exercise! Exercising in water can provide a great full- body workout without some of the drawbacks of land-based exercises. 1. Walk in water. Walking in water is a good exercise to start off with as it helps you get a feeling for how you can create resistance. It targets your arms, core, and lower body. Keep your arms at your side, in the water, and move them as you walk. Engage your core and stand tall. 2. Water arm lifts. This exercise will help strengthen the muscles in your arms. Using foam dumbbells will help add more resistance. Stand in water up to your shoulders. Hold the dumbbells at your side, with your palms facing up. Draw your elbows in close to your torso as you lift your forearms to the height of the water. Rotate your wrists to turn your palms facedown. Lower your arms back to the starting position. Do 1-3 sets of 10-15 reps. 3. Lateral arm lifts. This exercise, which targets your upper body, is also best done with foam dumbbells. Stand in water up to your shoulders. Hold the dumbbells at your side. Raise your arms to the side until they’re level with the water and your shoulders. Lower your arms back down to your sides. Do 1-3 sets of 8-14 repetitions. 4. Back wall glide. This exercise helps to activate the muscles in your core and lower body. Hold onto the pool ledge, tuck your knees into your chest, and press your feet into the wall. Push off from the wall and float on your back as far as you can. Draw your knees into your chest, press your feet down to the bottom of the pool, and run back to the wall. Continue this exercise for 5-10 minutes. 5. Leg kicks. This exercise works the muscles in your core and legs. Use ankle weights to make it more challenging. Hold onto the pool ledge or hold a kickboard. Alternate flutter kicking, scissor kicking, breaststroke kicking, and dolphin kicking. Do each kick for 1-3 minutes.
