Athletes.
Physical therapy that respects the sport. For amateur and competitive athletes managing injuries, asymmetries, and the long arc of staying in the game.
Injuries and patterns in athletes.
The body adapts to whatever it does most. We treat what the adaptation has cost, and rebuild what the adaptation cannot supply.
Runner's knee, IT band, shin splints
Lower-extremity overuse from running and jumping sports. Almost always tied to hip and pelvic patterns, not just local tissue.
Lower back pain in lifters
Squat, deadlift, and overhead-lift back pain. Often a breath and bracing pattern issue dressed up as a mobility issue.
Shoulder injuries in throwing and racquet sports
Rotator cuff, labrum, AC joint. Sport-specific demands meeting an under-prepared scapula.
Climbing-finger and elbow tendinopathies
Pulley strains, A2 injuries, medial epicondylitis. Sport-specific loading meets work-style hours on plastic.
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
From running, dance, and standing-heavy sports. Foot and calf mechanics that have to be retrained, not just stretched.
Post-injury return to sport
ACL reconstruction, ankle sprains, hamstring strains, all the way back to the field or the start line. Graded, criterion-based.
How we work with athletes.
Athletes need a clinician who respects training and is willing to be specific. Generic PT will let you down. So will a coach who treats every issue as a programming question.
Asymmetry, mapped and addressed
Most athletic injuries have a movement-pattern story. We map it and treat it, rather than chasing the symptom alone.
Manual therapy and loading
Hands to unwind what tightened, loading to build back what got weak. Both, in the same session, every session.
Criterion-based return
We will not clear you on a calendar. We clear you on tests, strength symmetry, hop tests, sport-specific demands, that predict you can handle it.
What we'll likely use.
Each plan is custom. These are the modalities that come up most often for this audience.
What to expect on your first visit.
Your evaluation
Your sport, your season
What you do, your training week, your goal events. What you have already tried. What you are willing to do differently.
Movement screen
Sport-relevant movement: squat, lunge, single-leg balance, gait, throwing, climbing position. We look for the pattern that drives the problem.
Hands on the relevant tissue
We start treatment in the same visit. Most athletes leave feeling looser and more symmetric before they leave the clinic.
Programming, not just exercises
Two or three movements that fit into your existing training week, not bolted on top. We send video links and a written plan.
Plan, with timelines
Expected return, what we will measure, what milestones look like. PDF in your inbox the same evening.
Simple rates, no surprises.
We accept select insurance plans directly. For plans we're out-of-network with, you pay at the visit and we provide a superbill for reimbursement. HSA and FSA accounts are accepted. Ask us about your specific plan before booking.

You probably want to know.
Can I keep training?
Almost always, with modifications. Complete rest is rarely the right answer; it usually means you come back worse than you left. We will identify what to dial and what to keep.
Do you work with my coach?
Gladly, with your consent. The best outcomes happen when the PT and coach are speaking the same language. We will reach out or take their notes.
How does return-to-sport work?
Criterion-based, not time-based. We test specific things, strength symmetry, hop tests, sport-specific demands, and clear when you pass them. Earlier than that, we are guessing.
Hands-on care, crafted around you.
Every plan begins with a thorough evaluation. Thirty minutes of direct one-on-one time with your dedicated therapist, within a sixty-minute visit. No rotations, no rush.
