Injuries we treat

Wondering if we can help with your injury? Check out the types of conditions we treat and how we can help you get back to 100%.

Physical therapy for every activity

The ability to move is non-negotiable. For us, recovery isn’t just about the sport you play, it’s about helping you become the strongest and healthiest person you can be. We’ve worked with people from all backgrounds, including dancers, soccer players, lacrosse and pickleball players, runners, lifters, climbers, skiers, and everything in between.

Here’s just a few of the types of sport-specific injuries we see on a daily basis. If you don’t see your sport here, don’t worry! Get in touch and we’ll answer questions you might have.

Lacrosse

Lacrosse players often deal with hip injuries from sharp turns and quick movements on the field, lower back pain from the rotational movement of shooting, and muscle pulls from running and sprints.

Basketball

Knee injuries like jumper’s knee are the most common for basketball players, along with ankle and foot injuries. Jumping, landing, and constant movement on the court can put a lot of strain on those areas.

Baseball

Throwing injuries are common in baseball and softball, including shoulder and elbow issues. We also see lower back injuries from the rotational movements involved in throwing and hitting.

Soccer

Ankle and knee injuries pop up all the time in soccer players, but muscle pulls are a big issue, too. Players often strain their quads and hip flexors from all the kicking and shooting, plus the hamstrings take a hit from the constant running.

Fitness

Overuse injuries are common if you’re getting into fitness. We work with lifters, endurance athletes, and casual fitness fans alike who’ve dealt with these issues. We’ve seen (and helped with) all the usual aches and pains.

Running

e see overuse injuries to the hips, knees, and foot/ankle all the time in runners. We help athletes keep moving, finding ways to work around injuries and recover without taking too much time off.

From setbacks to success
