Sports physical therapy focuses on preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries in athletes of all ages and skill levels. It’s also for active individuals and anyone who engages in regular physical activity. Whether you need to recover from an injury, prevent future ones or boost your performance, sports PT can help.
Sports PT can help you improve strength, speed and endurance through specific training and assessments. At REPAIR SI in Huntington Beach, California, your physical therapist will create an individualized recovery plan to ensure that your body heals and performs at its best.
6 key services you’ll find at a sports PT clinic
- Sports massage — Sports massage is a hands-on technique that helps loosen tight muscles, reduce pain and break down scar tissue so you can move more comfortably.
- Compression therapy — Uses tight sleeves or devices to gently squeeze your muscles. This can help improve blood flow, reduce soreness and speed up recovery after workouts.
- Dry needling — A trained physical therapist uses thin needles to target tight spots in your muscles. This can help release tension, ease pain and improve movement.
- Cupping therapy — Small cups create gentle suction on your skin to increase circulation, lower inflammation and relax sore muscles.
- Athletic taping/kinesiology taping — Special tape is placed on your skin to support muscles and joints. It helps you move better, recover faster and lower your risk of injury.
- Hydrotherapy/ hot tub jets — Warm water or jets can relieve muscle tension and allow athletes to push workouts safely with less impact.
These treatments aren’t one size fits all. Together, these therapies create a well-rounded approach to recovery and sports performance. At a clinic like REPAIR SI, your physical therapist will customize these services to your unique goals.
