Sports Rehabilitation

Quick access to physical therapy following a sports injury results in faster return to practice and competition. We treat pediatric, high school, collegiate and professional athletes as well as the “weekend warriors”. Our clinical specialists focus on regaining full function, strength and mobility as well as providing education to prevent future injuries.

We encourage athletes to utilize Direct Access which allows you to see a physical therapist without a physician’s referral.  This immediate access to care has been proven to reduce recovery times and medical costs in the long term.
