Sports Rehabilitation

We deliver comprehensive sports injury care and have experience treating athletes at every level of play. Most patients get better with physical therapy. When surgery is necessary, we often use minimally invasive techniques that involve small incisions and help you recover quickly.

Patients typically achieve their recovery goals with the help of outpatient physical therapy. If more intensive sports rehabilitation is necessary, we are here for you with advanced therapies. Offerings also include training services that optimize athletic performance and lower re-injury risk. Get more information about how we treat sports injuries.
