What Is Sports Physical Therapy?

Sports physical therapy is a specialized branch of rehabilitation medicine that focuses on the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to sports and athletic activities. Our sports physical therapists combine advanced clinical expertise with a deep understanding of sport-specific movement patterns, training demands, and performance requirements.

Unlike general physical therapy, sports PT addresses the unique challenges athletes face, including:

  • High-intensity movement patterns
  • Sport-specific muscle imbalances
  • Performance optimization needs
  • Rapid return-to-play requirements
  • Injury prevention strategies
