WHAT IS SPORTS PERFORMANCE
THERAPY?
Sports performance therapy is a type of physical therapy that focuses on improving athletic ability, preventing injuries and physical performance. It combines sports training, strength training, and rehabilitation to help you maximize your full potential. We assess your movement patterns, biomechanics and physical limitations and design programs to address specific needs such as power, agility, endurance, or strength. It’s more than traditional physical therapy as we tailor our interventions to the demands of your sport or activity.
At its heart, sports performance therapy is about proactive, preventative care and recovery. Through a variety of exercises, mobility drills and conditioning techniques, we support athletes at every stage from injury prevention to post injury recovery. By optimizing muscle function, increasing joint mobility and improving biomechanics we help you perform at your best, reduce the risk of injury and excel in your sport.
How does sports performance therapy prevent injuries?
Sports performance therapy prevents injuries by addressing biomechanical imbalances, increasing flexibility and strengthening key muscle groups used in your sport. Therapists optimize movement patterns and promote efficient body mechanics which reduces stress on joints and minimizes overuse injuries. By increasing stability, mobility and functional strength we prepare your body for the demands of your sport and reduce the risk of both acute and chronic injuries.
What techniques are used in sports performance therapy?
At Physiothenix, we use functional movement assessments, strength and conditioning exercises, mobility and flexibility training, neuromuscular re-education, proprioception training, and sport-specific drills.
