Sports Rehab
Our sports rehab program prepares athletes to return to sports after an injury, reducing risk of re-injury and improving performance.
What is Sports Rehabilitation?
For athletes facing injury, the ultimate goal is to return them to their individualized sport. With traditional physical therapy, there is often a large gap between rehabilitation after an injury or surgery and returning to sports. We bridge this gap from rehabilitation to return to sport to reduce re-injury and complications after surgery, as well as to improve sports performance. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment and will be in contact with all involved while getting you back to sport.
