Which sports medicine treatment is right for me?

Your personalized treatment plan for a sports injury depends on the type and severity of your injury. Your Physical Therapist lets you know which Physical Therapy treatment best matches your needs. Your personalized treatment plan might include:

Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation

If you’ve recently undergone surgery or are planning on having surgery, your therapist will work with you to optimize range of motion and strength, reduce pain, restore gait, improve your functional abilities, and improve your movement in order to give you the best possible outcome.

Manual therapy

Hands-on techniques are often used to help alleviate pain and improve flexibility or range of motion. We may use soft tissue mobilization techniques, joint mobilization, massage, or other types of manual therapy techniques to assist in your recovery.

Augmented soft tissue mobilization

Augmented soft tissue mobilization, including ASTYM® and Graston Technique®, is a manual therapy technique in which your therapist uses instruments to reduce unwanted scar tissue and promote tissue healing.

Exercise prescriptions

Each person’s injury is unique depending on your body and health history. You will be given specific exercises to perform during your Physical Therapy session and at home to improve muscle balance and function.
