SR’s sports medicine PTs focus on injury prevention and rehabilitation for amateur, professional, and recreational athletes. Recovery can take several weeks from common injuries like sprains, strains and overuse to several months for serious injuries, such as ACL, rotator cuff, and labral tears.

Our therapists help athletes return to competition sooner and at a higher level.
 
Treatment Phases

• The Acute Phase:  SR’s sports-medicine-based physical therapist will use modalities such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, cryotherapy, and pneumatic compression to help control swelling and inflammation, and to promote a healing environment.

• The Settled Phase: During this phase, the emphasis will be on gaining full range of motion, and building strength around the affected joint(s), as well as increasing core stability.

• The Return-To-Sport Phase: Sport-specific exercises and neuromuscular reeducation are designed to build speed, power, and balance. Plyometrics and throwing programs are just two examples of activities that may be used.

Some sports for which SR provides rehabilitation / performance enhancement include:

• Golf
• Tennis
• Soccer
• Baseball
• Football
• Basketball

Our all-inclusive approach incorporates preventive care, rehabilitation timelines, and exercise guidelines. SR maintains timely communication with all referring physicians.

Above all, we educate athletes, parents, and coaches about preventive care and rehabilitation timelines. Coordinating the efforts of everyone involved in an athlete’s care enhances recovery and reduces the risk of future injuries.
