Are you sidelined by a sports injury or struggling to return to the same level of performance you once had? Whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply love staying active, sports rehab at RX Physical Therapy can help you recover, rebuild, and return to doing what you love—stronger than ever.
We understand that every sport—and every athlete—is different. That’s why our sports rehab programs are custom-tailored to your goals, position, and performance needs.
What is sports rehabilitation?
Sports rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on the prevention, assessment, treatment, and recovery of sports-related injuries. From acute injuries like sprains and strains to chronic overuse issues, our therapists use evidence-based techniques to restore strength, flexibility, and endurance.
We also identify movement patterns and muscle imbalances that may have contributed to your injury, helping you return to sport safely and prevent future setbacks.
Common injuries we treat:
- Ankle sprains
- ACL and other ligament injuries
- Rotator cuff strains or tears
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shin splints and stress fractures
- Hip and groin strains
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Muscle pulls and overuse injuries
Whether you’re playing high school, college, or adult league sports—or just enjoy an active lifestyle—our goal is to help you return to full function, faster.
What can I expect during sports rehab?
Your treatment plan will depend on your sport, position, and injury, but typically includes a combination of:
- Therapeutic exercise
- Manual therapy and joint mobilization
- Neuromuscular re-education
- Sport-specific movement training
- Balance and agility drills
- Plyometric and return-to-play progressions
We also emphasize proper biomechanics and movement efficiency to reduce reinjury risk. Our therapists will work closely with coaches, athletic trainers, or physicians if needed to support your recovery from every angle.
Can sports rehab help prevent injury?
Absolutely! Many athletes come to RX Physical Therapy for pre-season screening and injury prevention programs. These services help identify weaknesses or imbalances that could affect performance or lead to injury down the line.
By improving strength, mobility, and control, we help you perform better—and stay in the game longer.
