When a certain sport is a big part of your life, you want to get back to playing it as soon as possible after an injury. Maybe you have already taken steps to start your recovery, such as visiting your doctor or looking into general physical therapy. While both of these methods can be useful, we have found that people recover faster when they completesports-specific physical therapy in Wichita KS.

How is Sports-Specific Physical Therapy Different?

At Physical Therapy by Phoenix, we tailor our sports-specific physical therapy programs to the unique needs of each injured athlete. Rather than giving you general exercises that may or may not improve your game, we focus on the mechanics of your sport to prepare you for the movements you will make when you get back to playing. Our physical therapists have worked with enough injured athletes to know that general strength training is not adequate to help them recover and compete at their previous level.

Benefits You Can Expect from Sports-Specific Physical Therapy

People who have finished our sports-specific physical therapy program report improved performance soon after they start playing again. You have greater strength, stamina, and range of motion than you did even before your injury. Other benefits you can expect include:

Better ability to manage pain
Increased circulation to the injured area
Improved cellular metabolism
Improved mental well-being
Reduced risk of additional injuries and faster recovery if you do injure yourself
These are just a handful of the many benefits you can expect when attending sports-specific physical therapy in Hutchinson KS or one of our four locations in Wichita.
