Sports Therapy
Sports-related injuries are all too common when you play sports often. Human bodies are amazing, but sometimes the wrong movement can tweak or tear something. Luckily, with a little help, your body can also heal itself relatively quickly. Advanced Physical Therapy offers sports therapy to help you get back on the court or field as quickly as possible.
What Is Sports Therapy?
Sports therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to treat injuries and other conditions related to sports or exercise. It can be used to improve mobility, strength, flexibility, and stability for athletes of all levels.
This type of therapy includes a broad range of actual therapy services. The point of sports therapy is to help athletes through the recovery process so they heal quickly and in a healthy way. Some of the sports therapy services we offer include:
- Exercise Therapy: This is a given when you think of physical therapy. We'll create a personalized exercise plan to help you regain movement and strength.
- Aquatic Therapy: This type of therapy is meant for more serious injuries. Sometimes, after an injury, an individual may not be ready for a land based exercise approach. Working out in our specially designed Hydro Track Plus aquatic unit will keep weight off the injury and allow it to heal.
- Manual Therapy: These techniques are meant to treat musculoskeletal injuries. A trained member of our staff will manually mobilize and manipulate your body while pulling from many schools of training to see what fits you best.
- Massage Therapy: This includes different types of massages to loosen and relax muscles and joints. Retrograde massage, Graston massage, Transverse Friction Massage is included in our training.
- Sports specific: Discussion and planning are used to make sports specific drills and exercises as we approach return to athletics.
- Post-Surgical Therapy: Some injured athletes will require surgery. We are well trained and experienced with evaluation and treatment following orthopedic surgery.
Each patient is treated as an individual. Depending on the severity of your injury and your own capabilities, we will work with you to decide which therapy is right for you. We are dedicated to helping you recover in a safe and effective way.
