Our Approach to Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Recovering from an injury is only part of the picture. Athletes may also have mobility restrictions, strength deficits, asymmetries, or movement inefficiencies that affect how they train, compete, and perform—even when they are not experiencing pain.
At Athletic Edge & Wellness, we look beyond the injured area to understand how the body moves as a whole. A movement assessment can help identify physical limitations and areas for improvement, allowing athletes to take a more proactive approach to performance development.
SCORE Movement Screen
You can't improve what you don't assess.
The SCORE Movement Screen evaluates whole-body movement to identify mobility restrictions, strength deficits, asymmetries, and movement inefficiencies that may affect athletic performance.
The SCORE Movement Screen provides a starting point for identifying physical limitations and prioritizing areas for improvement. Your findings can help guide an individualized Performance Therapy plan based on your sport, goals, and training demands.
Assess. Identify. Improve.
Learn more about the SCORE Movement Screen to identify mobility restrictions, strength deficits, asymmetries, and movement inefficiencies that may be limiting your athletic performance. Use your results to identify priorities and guide your next steps toward improved movement and performance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Injuries?
When should I see a physical therapist for a sports injury?
Consider an evaluation when pain, swelling, weakness, restricted movement, or recurring symptoms interfere with your sport or daily activities. Significant injuries may require prompt medical assessment, especially when you cannot bear weight, have a visible deformity, or experience severe symptoms.
Can I continue playing sports if I have an injury?
It depends on the injury, its severity, and the demands of your sport. Continuing unrestricted participation may worsen some conditions. A physical therapist can help assess your limitations and determine whether activity modification or further medical evaluation is appropriate.
How long does sports injury rehabilitation take?
Recovery time varies according to the injury, tissue healing, severity, previous injuries, and the physical demands of the sport. Rehabilitation should progress according to individual findings and functional readiness rather than a fixed timeline.
Do I need to be an athlete to receive sports physical therapy?
No. Active adults and recreational athletes can also benefit from individualized physical therapy to address pain, restore movement, rebuild strength, and return to activities they enjoy.
How do I know when I'm ready to return to sport?
Being pain-free is not always enough. Return-to-sport decisions may consider strength, mobility, functional performance, sport-specific demands, and the ability to tolerate progressively higher training loads.
