Physical Therapy for Athletes and Active Adults
Sports Physical Therapy for Performance and Rehabilitation
Staying active is an essential part of your life. Whether you’re an avid runner, the casual golfer, or a member of your local adult volleyball team, doing what you love is important.
Keeping people doing what they love is really at the center of what we do here. We want to keep people moving because moving improves health, wellness, and overall quality of life.
Sports physical therapy works with athletes of all levels to hone their skills, improve their mobility and functionality, reduce pain, rehabilitate injuries, and, thus, achieve physical longevity and a lifetime of pain-free movement.
What is Performance Physical Therapy?
Most people think of physical therapy as part of recovery after injury or surgery occurs. When we talk about performance-based PT or sports performance physical therapy, we’re describing a form of PT that mixes traditional physical therapy assessments with fundamentals of biomechanics and mobility.
Sports performance physical therapy is aimed at reducing pain during movement and enhancing performance for active people and athletes of ALL levels and in a wide range of activities.
There’s a lot of overlap between PT and strength and conditioning.
That’s where a lot of our work comes in. We educate patients and empower them to build healthy habits. We empower patients to understand better body mechanics so that they can do what they love, address pain quickly, and mitigate injury as much as possible.
Enhancing Performance for a Wide Range of Activities
We often associate performance with high-level athletes, but this is not the case. An enhanced performance applies to someone working towards a one rep max on their Olympic lifts, a runner working towards their next marathon, but it also applies to someone simply seeking better mobility and functionality at work or their favorite activity.
We work with everyone from local weightlifters, avid golfers, runners, high school athletes, and more.

Injury mitigation & rehabilitation for athletes and Active Adults
It’s not always possible to prevent ALL injuries. Athletic endeavors—from the most extreme to the everyday activities— have an inherent risk that we accept. The body is complicated and sports can take a toll on our bodies.
And while our goal is always to prevent injury, we think of our job as mitigating injury and finding the best possible balance between patient education, good habit-building, and recovery.
