Specialized Sports Rehab Services
Experienced providers guide you through a program to build sport-specific skills that enable you to return to the game safely.
Your care may include sophisticated sports rehab services, such as:
- Assessments: We perform focused evaluations to determine where you are in your recovery and how we can help. These may include functional movement assessments, balance tests and jumping and landing analysis.
- Balance training: Therapists use various methods, including resistance training and Tai Chi, to improve stability. Your program may include coordination drills, posture assessments and progressive exercises that enhance your ability to stay on your feet.
- Concussion (mild brain injury) management: Therapists work with sports medicine doctors or neurologists to help you slowly return to physical activity after a concussion. We carefully monitor your progress to keep your recovery on track.
- Gait analysis: We evaluate posture and body mechanics, such as how your foot hits the ground while you run on a treadmill. Examining your gait helps us tailor care for running and lower extremity injuries.
Athletic Performance Classes
Athletic performance classes can help you build strength and power toimprove your flexibility, endurance and balance. You work one-on-one with licensed athletic trainers to continue building skills that help you perform at your highest level. These services may also reduce the risk of future injury. Classes can help you feel your best during daily activities, even if you do not consider yourself an athlete.
Trainers guide you through exercises that help you get stronger, faster, leaner and more agile. Athletic performance classes are a cash-based service, meaning they are not covered by insurance.
