This specialized area of physical therapy focuses on preventing, evaluating, and treating injuries related to athletic activities. It aims to help athletes of all levels recover from injuries, enhance performance, and safely return to their sport.

A detailed evaluation of a runner’s form, mechanics, and movement patterns to identify inefficiencies or potential injury risks. It typically includes video analysis, strength and flexibility testing, and gait analysis, helping guide personalized recommendations to improve performance and reduce pain or injury.

The process of studying the biomechanics of how a person moves in order to identify abnormal patterns, imbalances, or limitations that may contribute to pain or injury. This movement can be a squat, overhead reach, a lifting task, etc. This information helps guide personalized treatment plans to improve movement quality, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall performance.

Its purpose is to assess, treat and improve, well, posture. It seeks to identify muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, and movement habits that contribute to poor posture or discomfort. Through targeted exercises, stretching, and manual techniques, a postural tune-up helps realign the body, improve posture awareness, reduce strain, and prevent injury, which in turn promotes better movement and overall function.

A wide array of hands-on techniques used by physical therapists to assess and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It includes methods like joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and stretching to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function. Click here for more info.

Consists of a customized exercise program, designed and tailored to an individual’s goals, fitness level, and needs. The exercises may focus on increasing mobility, strength, muscular hypertrophy, power or endurance.

Focuses on improving stability, mobility, coordination, and body awareness to correct any asymmetries that can cause future injury. It is a form of preventative care, nipping problems in the bud before they become even bigger issues.

Used to support muscles and joints, reduce pain, and improve movement without restricting mobility. It can help guide proper motion and enhance body awareness during activity and recovery.

Pre-op rehab focuses on gaining as much strength and mobility as possible prior to surgery to ensure that post-op recovery goes as smoothly as possible. Post-op rehab focuses on regaining lost mobility and strength from the surgery, and continues until the patient’s goals are met. Examples of surgeries include ACL reconstruction, Bankart repair, ORIF of fractured bone, lumbar microdiscectomy, etc.

A phase of rehabilitation focused on safely transitioning an athlete back to their sport after injury. It involves sport-specific training, strength and mobility work, and functional testing to ensure the athlete is physically and mentally ready to perform at their best while minimizing the risk of re-injury.

A specialized form of physical therapy designed to treat balance and dizziness problems caused by inner ear disorders. It involves exercises and techniques to improve the brain’s ability to process signals from the vestibular system, helping patients regain balance, reduce dizziness, and improve coordination.
