Sports and orthopedic physical therapy involves evaluation, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
to help people develop, restore and maintain movement and functional ability. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to enable your recovery after an injury.
Performance enhancement is another goal of our sports physical therapists. A therapist may spend time teaching preventive techniques to athletes, families, coaches and even other physical therapists. Sports physical therapists work with orthopedic and sports medicine doctors to develop programs to help athletes manage pain and recuperate from injuries. They also play a role in assessing when someone is ready to return to physical activity.
