Sports Rehab & Return-to-Sport

Sports rehabilitation goes beyond standard physical therapy. It requires understanding the demands of your specific sport, the biomechanics of athletic movement, and the psychological factors that affect return to competition. At The Back Clinic, we treat athletes of all levels — from high school competitors to recreational weekend warriors — with the same evidence-based, individualized approach.

Our sports rehabilitation programs address the full recovery continuum: from acute injury management through tissue healing, progressive strengthening, sport-specific functional training, and objective return-to-sport testing.

• Acute injury management — Immediate evaluation and treatment for sprains, strains, and other sports injuries
• Post-surgical sports rehabilitation — ACL reconstruction, labral repair, meniscus surgery, and other athletic procedure recovery
• Running gait analysis — Biomechanical evaluation of running form to identify injury risk factors
• Functional movement screening — Identifying strength and mobility deficits that predispose to injury
• Progressive return-to-sport protocols — Structured, criteria-based progression from rehabilitation to full sport participation
• Performance optimization — Addressing movement inefficiencies and strength deficits to enhance athletic performance
• Injury prevention programs — Evidence-based screening and exercise programs to reduce future injury risk
