Sports Medicine
Did You Know Sports Medicine Could Help Improve Your Performance?
Sports medicine is an ever-growing field of focus. In fact, according to the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, “The specialty niche of sports physical therapy has grown at a significant rate over the past 40 years.”
So, how does sports medicine and physical therapy go hand-in-hand? A sports physical therapist is dedicated to helping you reach your goals – and developing new ones!
By participating in a training and/or rehabilitation program, your peak performance is something that you and your sports physical therapist will define, and something that can be grown upon throughout the course of your sessions.
Sports medicine can help you reach your peak performance, whether you’re recovering from an injury or trying to strengthen your skills.
One of our Sarasota sports physical therapists will be right there with you, every step of the way, until you are able to reach your end goal.
Sports medicine and injury relief
Athletes, by nature, generally desire to push themselves to accomplish new goals.
Sometimes an athlete may master one sport, only to take on the challenge of mastering a new one. Olympic sprinters take on the slopes at the winter games, and college athletes win national titles in multiple sports for this exact reason.
People most commonly turn to sports medicine after sustaining an injury. You’re in pain, looking for relief and recovery, and trying to find the motivation to push yourself to get there.
Sports physical therapists are trained to help you bounce back from your injury, with just as much strength (if not more!) than you had before the injury. They are dedicated to always helping you reach your peak, whatever that may be.
With sports medicine, your goals never have to be definite. Our Sarasota sports physical therapists can help you reach the peak of your performance in one sport and then help you tackle the summit of another.
