Physical Therapy for CrossFit Athletes & Weightlifters
A performance PT helps you identify pain and implement actionable solutions in the gym. Working on a heavy squat? Building to your max clean and jerk? Having pain while performing pull-ups?
Salerno Sports Therapy helps you on your journey to your strength and mobility goals.
A PT that understands how important your workouts are will not tell you to quit. Instead, they’ll work with you to give you the tools to keep you safe and injury-free.
Train. Lift. Recover. Repeat.
Helping athletes Reach Strength Goals
PRs are a big deal. They measure progress and, for a lot of people, they are metrics used for improvement. Yet, stacking on the weight when there is a mobility issue or a limited range of motion can be a recipe for injury.
Here’s how working with a PT for crossfitters and weightlifters can help:
Identify pain or weaknesses when performing certain movements
Assess form and technique of complicated compound movements
Work with a PT to work in stretches, auxiliary exercises, and correct form
At Salerno Sports Therapy, we do more than recover. We Prepare. We Train. We Learn.
Performance PT for CrossFit athletes
Enhance Your Training With a Movement Analysis
Working with a PT improves training and reduces the risk of injury. Train efficiently and work on form and proper body mechanics. How does it work?
Begin with a movement analysis. Experienced PTs can identify imbalance or weaknesses that affect your movement, efficiency, and performance.
Understand your pain. Performance physical therapy is about educating the athlete. By understanding your pain, you can better understand the way you move and how to do it better.
Build strength and increase flexibility. Training for complex movements like Olympic lifts or gymnastic exercises requires a lot of auxiliary work that builds balance, flexibility, and strength in stabilizing muscles.
Implement better technique and recovery. Once you understand the source of your pain, a treatment plan can help you implement better warm up routines or active recovery protocols.
Need help with your lifts? We frequently work with people struggling with pain or seeking better technique when performing:
Back Squats
Overhead Squats
Deadlifts
Bench Press
Overhead Press
Cleans
Snatches
and other functional training movements
Reach Your Strength Goals. We’re Here to support you.
Strength training has picked up some momentum in recent years. So whether you are a casual Crossfitter or a competitive athlete, we know that reaching your goals is important to your training. A movement analysis gives you feedback on your form in a variety of movements and helps you avoid or improve injuries. You don’t need a physician’s referral. Let’s talk more about it.
