Advanced Treatment Options Available Locally
Modern bgoes far beyond basic physical therapy. Sports medicine now focuses on helping athletes perform their best, not just on treating injuries. Experts create programs to help athletes reach their full potential through comprehensive, evidence-based approaches.
Orthopedic PT Specialization
Our orthopedic physical therapy programs target the root causes of your injury while building the strength and mobility needed for athletic performance. Orthopedic PT forms the foundation of effective sports injury treatment, focusing on restoring proper joint mechanics, muscle function, and movement patterns.
Our orthopedic specialists address:
- Joint mobility restrictions that limit performance
- Muscle strength imbalances causing compensation patterns
- Movement dysfunctions that increase injury risk
- Pain management through proven techniques
Manual Therapy Techniques
Manual therapy techniques improve biomechanics and muscle pain, which may include Dry Needling (DN), as part of a personalized comprehensive program. These hands-on approaches work alongside exercise therapy for faster, more complete recovery.
Manual therapy services include:
- Joint mobilization for improved range of motion
- Soft tissue techniques for muscle recovery
- Dry needling for trigger point release
- Cupping therapy for enhanced blood flow
The True Sports Recovery Process
Phase 1: Immediate Care
When you first sustain a sports injury, the RICE approach is the most effective and will provide you with immediate relief. Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation are the acronyms for RICE. Our team guides you through proper acute injury management to minimize damage and set the stage for optimal healing.
Phase 2: Active Recovery
Early resistance exercise is prescribed for a number of reasons, including the restoration of balance, the development of reflex control, the redevelopment of neuromuscular control and function. We begin targeted exercises as soon as it's safe to promote healing and prevent muscle loss.
Phase 3: Sport-Specific Training
This is where True Sports excels. We don't just get you back to normal—we get you back to athletic performance. Our programs include position-specific training, sport-specific movement patterns, and performance testing to ensure you're truly ready to compete.
Phase 4: Return to Play
Return to play is defined as the process of deciding when an injured or ill athlete may safely return to practice or competition. We use objective criteria and functional testing to clear you for full participation, reducing the risk of re-injury.
