What do Sports Physical Therapists do?
Sports physical therapists evaluate, treat, and prevent sports-related injuries in athletes of all ages, restore movement and function, and enhance performance through targeted exercise, education, and specialized techniques.
They also provide guidance on pre-participation screening, equipment recommendations, and post-injury rehabilitation to ensure safe return to sports and physical activity.
What they do
Injury Evaluation and Treatment: Sports PTs diagnose and treat common sports injuries, such as sprains, strains, meniscus tears, and tendinitis, and support recovery from surgeries like ACL repair.
Rehabilitation: They develop personalized treatment plans that may include stretching, joint mobilization, strength training, functional movements, and various forms of therapy, such as massage, heat, or cold therapy.
Injury Prevention: This involves pre-participation screenings, biomechanical assessments to identify risks, and education on safe training practices to prevent future injuries.
Performance Enhancement: Sports PTs help athletes improve strength, power, and endurance through tailored exercise programs, thereby enhancing overall athletic performance.
Return to Sport Guidance: They assess readiness for return to play, ensuring athletes have regained the necessary function and strength to resume their sport or activity safely.
Conditions Treated
Sports physical therapists treat a wide range of issues, including:
- Knee, shoulder, and ankle injuries
- Hip impingement
- Back pain
- Overuse injuries, such as tendinitis and bursitis
- Conditions affecting growing bodies, like injuries to growth plates in children and teens
Specialized Care for Athletes
Functional and Performance Focus: They focus on restoring optimal function and enhancing performance, not just addressing pain, with interventions tailored to the athlete’s specific sport and skill set.
Pediatric Focus: Pediatric sports physical therapists possess specialized knowledge to treat growing bodies, including open growth plates that require specific care.
