Helping Athletes Recover Stronger And Smarter

Get Back In The Game With Expert Care

Whether you’re a weekend runner, competitive athlete or simply enjoy staying active, sports injuries can slow you down — or stop you in your tracks. At Physical Therapy Associates, our physical therapy clinic provides targeted sports rehabilitation to restore movement, reduce pain and help prevent future injuries.

Our professional physical therapy team uses advanced techniques to ensure you not only heal but also return to your sport stronger than before.

What Is Sports Rehabilitation?

Sports rehabilitation is a specialized branch of physical therapy services focused on treating injuries related to athletic activities. It combines injury-specific exercises, manual therapy and sport-specific conditioning to help you safely return to your chosen activity.

The process begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine the cause and extent of your injury. We then design a personalized plan that improves strength, flexibility and coordination while protecting the injured area during recovery.

How Long Does Sports Rehabilitation Take?

Every athlete’s recovery timeline is unique, depending on the type and severity of the injury, your overall health and how quickly your body responds to treatment. Minor injuries like mild sprains or muscle strains may improve within a few weeks, while more complex injuries — such as ligament tears or post-surgical recoveries — can take several months of consistent therapy.

At Physical Therapy Associates, we focus on helping you recover at the safest pace possible without rushing the process and risking reinjury. We’ll monitor your progress closely, adjust your program as you heal and guide you through each stage — from early pain relief and mobility work to advanced sport-specific training.

Our goal is not just to get you back to your sport but to help you return stronger, more balanced and less likely to face the same injury again.

Our advanced physical therapy programs address a wide range of sports-related conditions, including:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Tendonitis (including Achilles and rotator cuff tendonitis)
  • Ligament injuries such as ACL or MCL tears
  • Meniscus tears and other knee injuries
  • Overuse injuries like shin splints and stress fractures
  • Shoulder injuries from throwing or overhead sports
  • Muscle imbalances affecting performance and injury risk

Whether your injury is acute, from a single event, or chronic from repetitive stress, our goal is to restore your full function and confidence.

Stretches And Preventive Actions To Avoid Sports Injuries

While our physical therapy services can help you recover, preventing injuries in the first place is even better. Here are simple strategies to protect yourself:

  • Dynamic warm-up — Spend at least 5–10 minutes warming up with movements that mimic your sport (leg swings, arm circles, light jogging)
  • Strength training — Build muscle stability around joints to reduce stress and risk of injury
  • Flexibility work — Incorporate stretching for major muscle groups used in your sport
  • Cross-training — Avoid overuse injuries by mixing up your activities
  • Listen to your body — Rest when you feel pain or unusual fatigue to prevent small issues from becoming major injuries

Your physical therapist can also design a sport-specific exercise plan to help you perform better while staying injury-free.
