Sports Physical Therapy

Sports physical therapy is a specialty within physical therapy that supports athletes as they return from injury to reach their pre-injury level of performance. It involves conditioning, sport-specific movements, and understanding the high loads needed for proper strength and speed progressions. Sports physical therapists design personalized treatment plans using exercises, manual therapy, and other techniques to help athletes recover from injuries like strains, sprains, and fractures. They collaborate with coaches and trainers to develop injury prevention strategies and optimize athletic performance.
