Once we’ve managed the pain, the fun part starts. We then introduce exercise to build strength and improve mobility to make sure your body is resilient enough to tolerate the stresses of your life and sport.
COMMON QUESTIONS
DO I NEED TO BE AN ATHLETE?
No, absolutely not! We have a special love for the athletic community, but you do not need to be an athlete to benefit from athletic therapy. No matter your goals, we can get you back to doing what you love pain-free.
IS ATHLETIC THERAPY RIGHT FOR ME?
AT’s are leading musculoskeletal injury and pain specialists. If you’re experiencing pain, limited strength, mobility, or any other issue stemming from your muscles, bones, joints, tendons or ligaments, we can help. As movement specialists, we can be your first line of treatment for evidence-based, professional help on all musculoskeletal issues you come across.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
Your first session will include a detailed assessment of your history, background, and goals moving forward. This extra time lets us get a holistic view of your pain or limitation to better inform your recovery. After we assess you, we will build a treatment plan involving education, relevant manual therapy, and a progressive exercise program.
DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERERRAL?
No, athletic therapists are primary healthcare providers which means no referrals are needed to access our services.
