3 Ways Sports Injury Rehabilitation Treatments Can Benefit You:
Physical therapy provides relief without the use of harmful drugs or invasive surgeries:
At Peak Wellness we will create a treatment plan for designed specifically for you, and based on your individual needs. Physical therapy is a natural and holistic approach to healing, including services such as:

It has been proven that physical therapy is a successful method when it comes to treating both acute and chronic injuries. This includes ligament sprains, muscle strains, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis, and more. Your physical therapist will teach you about what your body is experiencing and the recovery process it will go through. You and your physical therapist team at Peak Wellness will work together to help you reach your physical goals, allowing you to be engaged and active in your rehabilitation.
Your treatment plan will be unique to you and your needs:
Our physical therapists understand that no two athletes are the same – so no two treatment plans should be the same, either. Everyone experiences pain and injury differently, and everyone’s body recovers in different ways as well. After a thorough physical evaluation, we will create a treatment plan that is based on your type of injury, stage of recovery, personal goals, and any underlying conditions.
Your treatment plan will follow detailed steps all leading to your end goal: return to sport. For example, in the beginning stages of your recovery, your treatments will be focused on pain relief, inflammation reduction, and tissue healing. Once the pain is alleviated and the swelling is no longer present, you’ll move on to the next part of your treatment plan, focusing on restoring your strength, balance, endurance, and range of motion, in addition to activating your central nervous system.
If you were referred by a doctor or surgeon, then we will take into account any special instructions you may have been given regarding physical activity. Your physical therapist at Peak Wellness will work closely with anyone else involved in the medical treatment and rehabilitation of your sports injury.
