Return To Your Sport As Quickly AS Possible With Physical Therapy
Did you know that according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, over 2 million high school athletes suffer from sports-related injuries annually?

With our sports injury rehabilitation programs, you will be able to get back to doing the activities you love in no time.

Our Specialized Return to Sports Assessments
At Legacy Physical Therapy and Wellness, we understand the importance of a thorough and careful return to your sport, especially after a significant injury like an ACL tear, rotator cuff injury, or other sports-related traumas. Our Return to Sports Assessments are crucial components of your rehabilitation journey, typically conducted towards the end of your recovery process.
These assessments focus on both lower and upper extremity function, providing a comprehensive analysis of your readiness to safely resume sporting activities. Our skilled physical therapists use these evaluations to determine if you have regained sufficient strength, flexibility, balance, and neuromuscular control to return to your sport safely.
Tailored to Your Unique Recovery Journey
Every athlete’s path to recovery is unique, especially following surgeries or significant injuries. Our treatment plans are meticulously crafted to align with your personal recovery goals and the specific demands of your sport. In the early stages, the focus is on managing pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue healing. As you progress, the emphasis shifts to regaining strength, endurance, balance, and full range of motion.
Collaboration with Your Healthcare Team
We believe in a collaborative approach to your recovery. Assessments and progress reports are regularly shared with your surgeon or primary care physician to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to your return to play. This collaboration is crucial for obtaining the full clearance needed for you to safely reengage in your sport.
Avoiding Unnecessary Interventions
Our goal is to help you avoid reliance on potentially harmful medications or invasive procedures. Our approach to recovery includes:
- Therapeutic Exercises
- Specialized Modalities
- Manual Therapy (including massage and joint mobilizations)
Physical therapy is proven effective for a range of acute and chronic sports injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and tendinitis. We educate you about your body’s healing process and work with you actively to achieve your rehabilitation goals.
