I spent lots of time and money on three other physical therapists before I went to Restore Your Core Physical Therapy. After seeing Amy and Meredith, I feel the best I have felt in 8 years, and I finally have relief from enduring pain. These professionals are true experts in their field. Not only are they very knowledgeable and skilled, but also they are friendly, kind, and encouraging. Amy is incredibly responsive and, if there is an emergency, she will do everything she can to fit you in. I truly can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have found this practice.
I appreciate all the help I received at Restore your Core Physical Therapy. The therapists were thorough, professional, and encouraging. Amy has the heart of a teacher and was great at explaining things and showing how the whole body is connected. Even when I felt discouraged or overwhelmed, they were patient me. I feel like I have come a long way since starting physical therapy with Amy and I have the knowledge to continue improving. I highly recommend Restore Your Core Physical Therapy!
How Sports Injuries Are Diagnosed
Self-Assessment
If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or limited mobility after physical activity, it’s important to assess the severity of your symptoms. Rest, ice, and elevation can help with minor injuries, but persistent pain or weakness may require professional attention.
Medical Evaluations
At Restore Your Core PT, our licensed physical therapists use a combination of physical exams, movement analysis, and diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of your pain. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Red Flags
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
-
Severe pain or swelling
-
Inability to bear weight
-
Numbness or tingling
-
Loss of range of motion

For minor injuries, the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) can help reduce pain and swelling. However, more serious conditions require professional care.
