This has been an incredible physical therapy experience! The team has helped me achieve my goals. They have listened and evaluated me with skill and great care. When I’m in a session they are focused on me and I feel valued, heard and comfortable. I highly recommend this team! I have been visiting the Carmel office. The office is always exceptionally clean and my kids are welcome to be in the sessions with me if I cannot arrange childcare. They work great even if there is a crying baby and that is a relief being a mom of 4
I started seeing Amy and Meredith a year and a half ago. I had seen other pelvic floor therapists with little to no results so I was super hesitant to try restore your core. But I have multiple friends who promised me I wouldn’t regret it. So I gave them a try and I am forever grateful I did. It’s honestly probably some of the best money I ever spent on myself. After four babies, you can imagine my core was shot. Not anymore! I still pop in from time to time. My most recent visit was due to pain in my hip (I think) from overdoing hip flexors. After only one visit my hip felt 💯! So yeah, highly highly highly recommend them 💜
FAQs: Sports Injury & Rehab Questions
Which sport injuries tend to be most severe?
While subject to individual circumstance, collision-based contact sports like football and rugby repeatedly produce high acute injury rates with extensive rehabilitation needs given the sheer force absorbed in traumatic impacts from aggressive defensive opponents.
What does the sports injury rehab process actually involve?
Following accurate diagnosis, we map out progressive milestones for restoring mobility, strength and skills-specific conditioning needed to provide clearance for partial practice participation and eventual full competition return through modalities, manual therapy, simulated functional drills and movement pattern upgrades.
What phases make up formal sports injury rehabilitation?
There are 5 major phases spanning from acute injury management and tissue healing through gradual ramp-up to live game intensity including flexibility restoration, muscular power/stamina development and sport-specific skills rebuilding like agility, speed and balance.
Could you provide examples of formal sports rehabilitation training?
Standard techniques involve initial pain and swelling relief, gentle joint mobilizations, progressive rubber band and bodyweight exercises, sport motions simulation using resistance bands, single leg stability challenges on unstable surfaces, lateral agility drills with dual cognitive tasks and incremental sport activity-specific clearance drills.
