What is Sports Physical Therapy?
Treating sports injuries takes a lot more knowledge and experience than most people realize. Not all injuries are the same and not all sports have the same types of injuries.
Sports physical therapy is a specialized type of therapy specific to the athlete as a person, their sport, and type of injury. Whether you're still in middle school, high school, a college athlete, or still playing the sport you love in any venue, a sports therapist can help when injury or pain arise.
Do you need a Sports Therapist?
You would benefit from a sports specialized physical therapist if:
- You have pain that started during or after physical activity or sport and hasn't gone away.
- You were told to rest, it didn't help, and you still don't know what's wrong.
- You've returned to sport after an injury but something still isn't right.
- Your performance has declined and you can't identify why.
- You have a recurring injury that keeps coming back in the same place.
- You were cleared to play but your body doesn't feel cleared.
- You want to know exactly what is wrong before you decide how to treat it.
- You are a COACH and are not sure if you should rest or play your athlete.
- You want to learn how to self manage your aches and pains and know when to seek help.
