Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Sprains and Strains
We treat mild to severe sprains and strains caused by overstretched ligaments or muscles. Our therapists use targeted stretching, strengthening, and mobility techniques to restore function and prevent re-injury.
ACL, MCL, and Meniscus Injuries
Knee injuries like ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears are common in athletes and require specialized care. We design rehabilitation programs that rebuild strength, stability, and confidence for a safe return to sport.
Tendonitis (Achilles, Patellar, Shoulder)
Tendonitis can cause inflammation and pain that limit your performance. Through manual therapy and corrective exercises, we reduce irritation and help the tendon heal properly.
Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder pain often stems from overuse or muscle imbalance. Our sports therapy focuses on restoring shoulder mobility, improving posture, and rebuilding upper-body strength.
Shin Splints and Stress Fractures
Shin splints and stress fractures often develop from repetitive impact or improper training techniques. We address the root cause and implement gradual, safe loading strategies for full recovery.
Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow
These overuse injuries affect the tendons in the forearm and elbow. Our team applies hands-on therapy and functional strengthening to relieve pain and restore grip and motion.
Post-Surgical Sports Rehabilitation
Recovering after sports-related surgery requires careful progression. We guide you through every stage from early mobility to full performance restoration with individualized care.
Overuse and Impact-Related Injuries
Overuse injuries occur when repetitive movements strain muscles or joints over time. We combine pain relief, movement correction, and sport-specific training to help you return stronger and prevent future setbacks.
