Repetitive Use Injuries
Sports involving repeated motions often strain muscles and tendons, leading to:
- Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Runner’s Knee
Our tailored treatment plans address your specific condition through targeted exercises, therapeutic modalities, and movement adjustments. These strategies reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote faster healing—helping you return to the sport you love safely and confidently.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries affect muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other non-bony structures. Common symptoms include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Heat and tenderness
- Limited mobility
We use a combination of hands-on therapy, movement-based treatments, and functional retraining to reduce pain and restore range of motion and strength for a full recovery.
Traumatic Injuries
Contact sports or high-impact activity can result in more severe injuries, such as:
- Sprains and strains
- Fractures
- Head or spinal injuries
- Deep bruises and wounds
Our physical therapists create custom recovery regimens based on the type and severity of the injury. By promoting circulation, minimizing pain and swelling, and restoring muscle and joint function, we help you heal faster and get back in the game.
