What Is Sports Rehabilitation?
Resting an injury can quiet the pain, but it rarely fixes the reason you got hurt. Sports rehabilitation is a focused type of physical therapy that looks at the whole picture: weak links, muscle imbalances, the way you land or throw, and how hard you've been training. Fix those, and you come back stronger than before.
Sports Injuries We Treat
● Ankle sprains and pulled muscles
● ACL, MCL, and other ligament injuries
● Rotator cuff and shoulder problems
● Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
● Runner's knee, IT band pain, and shin splints
● Tendinitis and other overuse injuries
● Hand and wrist injuries, treated with our hand focused occupational therapy
Already had surgery for an ACL tear or a rotator cuff repair? Our post surgical rehabilitation program takes you step by step from the first week after surgery all the way back to competition.
How Sports Physical Therapy Gets You Back in the Game
Your plan is built around your sport, your position, and your goals, not a generic handout. Here's what it usually includes, and you can see our full range of care on the services page.
● Hands on manual therapy to free up stiff joints and tight muscles
● Strength work for the hips, core, shoulders, and legs
● Movement retraining for running, jumping, throwing, and landing
● Sport specific drills that rebuild speed, agility, and confidence
● Injury prevention habits you can keep using long after your last visit
Between sessions, a lot of our athletes add cryotherapy to ease soreness and inflammation, along with red light therapy to support circulation and tissue repair.
Sports Rehabilitation in Tarzana, CA
Our Tarzana clinic focuses on sports injury recovery and rehab after surgery. Care is led by Jeff, a licensed physical therapist with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and more than 20 years of experience in orthopedics and sports rehabilitation. We work with high school athletes, runners, golfers, weekend warriors, and plenty of people who simply want to stay active. You can meet the team here.
How Long Does Sports Injury Rehab Take?
It depends on the injury and what you're getting back to. A mild sprain may settle within a few weeks, while ligament injuries and surgical repairs can take a few months. We test your strength, range of motion, and control along the way and only clear you to return when your body is ready. If training has left you with a stubborn sore back too, our back pain physical therapy can help.
