Therapy

Physical therapy helps you recover physically and mentally from a sports injury. A sports physical therapist is specifically trained to deal with sports injuries and their impact on daily life. Some of the benefits of sports physical therapy include the following:

  • You will regain strength and movement
  • Therapy helps you manage pain
  • PT prevents permanent damage and recurring problems
  • Exercise increases the blood flow around the injured area

If you need surgery as part of your sports injury recovery, pre-op physical therapy helps you better prepare and recover faster. It may even shorten your time in the hospital. After surgery, your specialized physical therapist will create a customized plan for recovery.
