Our return-to-sport approach includes:
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: We work with athletes recovering from surgeries such as ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, or joint replacements. Rehabilitation plans are carefully tailored to restore mobility, strength, and function specific to your sport.
Functional Movement Testing: Before you return to competition or training, we assess key performance metrics like balance, coordination, and joint stability to ensure you’re ready.
Progressive Sport-Specific Drills: Whether you’re a soccer player, weightlifter, or runner, we design exercises that mimic your sport’s demands, allowing for a seamless transition.
Injury Risk Reduction: We address underlying factors contributing to the injury, such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or inadequate flexibility.
