Recovery and Treatment for Sports Injuries
Sports injuries are an unfortunate part of many activities that we love.

Sports injuries can be devastating and healing from them can take weeks or even months. Physical therapy can help reduce your healing time and can help ensure that you recover and rehabilitate in a smart and safe way. Our treatments are designed to not only reduce your groin and hip pain as quickly as possible, but to also ensure that you avoid re-injury once you return to your sport.
The first step in treating sports injuries is to receive a full evaluation by one of our licensed physical therapists. This evaluation helps us determine the extent of your injuries, learn about your goals in recovery and determine the best course of treatment to restore you back to your full health.
Our evaluation process covers several key steps:
- Pain consultation
- Range of motion and strength tests
- X-rays of the impacted areas
- Specialized tests to determine your potential for future injuries
Once these tests and steps are completed, we can develop a treatment plan that includes specialized exercises, recommended therapy and more on a timetable that is created to best serve your needs. Our treatments vary depending on your needs and typically include exercises designed to rebuild strength and flexibility, manual therapy to reduce inflammation and pain, and other surgical and non-surgical medical treatment options.
