Return To Sport

RTP testing involves video analysis, measurements of distance, strength, speed and accuracy.  We compare the involved side to the uninvolved and monitor where weaknesses or imbalances may have long term effects if not managed from the beginning of returning to sport. 

We truly believe injury prevention starts with understanding movement.  You do not have to be injured to learn how to make movement easier for your body.  Through technique drills specific to your sport or activity, a better understanding of strength, mobility, and flexibility, and the use of video analysis, injury prevention can be fun AND educational.  We have a variety of program options depending on your needs to keep you on the wellness track.

This is one of our favorite things to teach!  It can be frustrating for an athlete (of any age or level!) to be told you are ready for discharge but in reality you do not FEEL ready.  You may not be able to pinpoint exactly what is missing, but you just KNOW.  The decision to discharge you is usually due to the insurance company’s pressure to your providers but we believe YOU should be the one making the discharge decision Using video analysis, drill prescription, strengthening and mobility exercises, as well as technique and movement instruction, you can get back to your sport with confidence and a better understanding of how to prevent further injuries and protect your ENTIRE body.

Time and expertise.  It is as simple as that.  We have more time with you than other providers. And our providers are experts at your sport.  Most providers are at the mercy of the insurance companies dictations and rules, but with our ACL recovery program and return to sport program, we get time with you to evaluate your movement, compare the involved and uninvolved side, use video analysis to teach you biomechanics.  The therapist that will be helping you has specific training for your particular sport.  We take pride in the educational and experience level of our providers and they love working with athletes that love their sport.  We believe you should be making your healthcare decisions – not the insurance company.

This answer differs for everyone. This depends on what your goals are, how hard you train between sessions, what your current physical conditioning includes, and if you BELIEVE you can improve. People can see improvements in as little as one session and if you are compliant with your home exercise program, the improvements continue exponentially. If you are looking to increase distance, speed, power, and strength, this will take time and effort but if you are willing to work at it, anything is possible!
