How Sports Rehab Works

1. Sport-focused evaluation. Your therapist assesses your injury, strength, mobility and movement patterns, and the specific demands of your sport.

2. A plan with a clear goal. We build a treatment plan around getting you back to your sport, with milestones along the way.

3. Progressive training. Treatment moves from pain relief and mobility to strength, balance, agility and sport-specific drills as you heal.

4. Return to sport. Before you’re cleared to return, we check that you’ve regained the strength and control your sport demands. For post-surgical patients, this happens in coordination with your surgeon.

5. Injury prevention. We give you exercises and guidance to reduce your risk of getting hurt again.

Our Approach to Sports Rehab

Strength and conditioning. Rebuild the power and endurance your sport requires.
Manual therapy. Hands-on techniques to reduce pain and restore movement.
Balance and agility training. Improve stability and control to protect your joints.
Sport-specific drills. Practice the movements you’ll need on the field or court.
Coordinated care. Chiropractic care is available under one practice when your recovery needs it.
