How a Sports Rehabilitation Specialist works?

After the injury, following an evaluation, a Sports Rehabilitation therapist will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. It may consist of modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation, or manual treatments such as mobilization and stretching.

Therapeutic exercise is used most frequently to improve performance through strength, endurance, flexibility and balance exercises. Finally, a progression of functional exercises is used as a means to return you to previous levels of activity or sports.
