Joint Therapy

The purpose of this sports rehabilitation treatment is to decrease pain and improve and restore joint mobility as quickly and fully as possible.

Sports Exercise
Sports exercise is a controlled physical stress applied to the body to help increase and maximize strength and range of motion. Sports exercise can be performed using machines, free weights and sometimes just good old body weight. Our sports physical therapists are highly specialized in administering the proper “dose” of sport specific exercise to prevent athletes from flare-ups and re-injury. Proper and complete strengthening is a critical aspect of each sports rehabilitation treatment program both in the clinic and in the training room.

Muscle Stretching
Stretching is an important part of almost every sports rehabilitation program because pain stops motion. In order to recover, we must restore an athlete’s motion in order to have 100% recovery. Sport specific stretching occurs when either you or the sports physical therapist applies sustained pressure over a joint to elongate the muscles and tendons around the joint to increase flexibility. Our progressive sports rehabilitation team will help athletes gain maximum flexibility to enhance performance.

Balance Training
Balance Training as a sports rehabilitation technique is highly specialized and high functioning. Sport specific balance disorders are specific to each player, position and sport. The most important aspect of sports rehabilitation balance training is to determine the specific reason for the loss of balance and then to design a progressive physical therapy program to restore balance completely to return to sport without re-injury.

Neuromuscular Training
This type of sports rehabilitation treatment is used very frequently for many conditions and injuries because almost all sports injuries involve loss of muscular control which is regulated by the nerves. This is a highly specialized form of therapeutic exercise and movement re-training that involves retraining of movement, balance, coordination, strength and posture. Athletes must have higher levels of sport specific neuromuscular re-education in order to return to sports participation without re-injury or flare-ups.

Postural Training
Posture training in sports is the position of the body in the athlete’s main starting position(s). Proper athletic posture prepares the body to be in its optimal position for performance and injury prevention. Our skilled sports physical therapists will assess an athlete’s posture and make changes to correct for improper alignment that can place excessive load on muscles and joints to help relive pain and prevent further or future sports injuries due to poor posture.

Weight Training
Weight Training and Lifting Techniques are the way athletes strengthen and condition their bodies for sports. Our sports physical therapists are trained to assess proper lifting and weight training techniques and identify incorrect techniques that lead to poor performance and injury.

Compression Techniques
Compression is a sports rehabilitation treatment technique that uses sequential extremity compression to enhance an athlete’s recovery following a strenuous activity. A sleeve is placed over the injured extremity and pressure is applied to the body part pushing blood toxins such as lactic acid out of the muscles and towards the gut. This type of sports physical therapy treatment can also be used to reduce recent swelling from an injury or surgery.
