How will sports injury rehabilitation benefit me?
1. Physical therapy effectively treats injuries and helps to avoid future injuries.
Our physical therapists are experienced and compassionate about helping others. They have a vast depth of insight on rehabilitation treatments, including prevention of future injuries. A physical therapist is an expert in movement, with the ability to identify factors contributing to your injury that you may not have even considered. This may include limitations on your range of motion, motor control impairment, or weakness of the core. When these factors are addressed, your risk of injury significantly decreases.
2. Treatment plans are individualized to each patient.
Physical therapists understand that no two athletes are the same – so no two treatment plans should be the same, either. Everyone experiences pain and injury differently, and everyone’s body recovers in different ways. After a thorough physical evaluation, your physical therapist will create a treatment plan based on your type of injury, stage of recovery, personal goals, and any underlying conditions.
Your treatment plan will follow detailed steps all leading to your end goal: return to sport. For example, in the beginning stages of your recovery, your treatments will be focused on pain relief, inflammation reduction, and tissue healing. Once the pain is alleviated and the swelling is no longer present, you’ll move on to the next part of your treatment plan, focusing on restoring your strength, balance, endurance, and range of motion, in addition to activating your central nervous system.
If you were referred by a doctor or surgeon, your physical therapist will also take into account any special instructions you may have been given regarding physical activity. Your physical therapist will work closely with anyone else involved in the medical treatment and rehabilitation of your sports injury.
3. Physical therapy can help you avoid potentially harmful drugs or invasive surgeries.
Your physical therapist will create a treatment plan for you, based on your individual needs. Physical therapy is a natural and holistic approach to healing, including services such as:
- Therapeutic exercises.
- Modalities. This may include specialized treatments that your physical therapist has been certified to perform, such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation.
- Manual therapy. This may include massage or joint mobilizations.
Physical therapy has been proven to be successful in treating both acute and chronic injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis, and more. Your physical therapist will teach you about what your body is experiencing and the recovery process it will go through. You and your physical therapist will work together to help you reach your physical goals, allowing you to be engaged and active in your rehabilitation.

I’ve been working with Ken and he is basically the best physio I’ve worked with during 25 years of competitive sport. He goes very deep into the core reasons behind an injury, peeling your body back layer by layer to see what is really happening. He is extremely thoughtful and considered in what he prescribes me and one of the biggest differences is his ability to explain things easily so I truly understand what is going on with my body. I went in with a herniated disc but have come out with it treating the underlying sources of my back issues. Highly recommended. from a person that has seen roughly 20-30 different physios during my time playing sport.

In July of 2022, I tore my right ankle on the Castle Rock incline. The tear was of both tendons and ligaments on the inside and outside of my ankle. After an X-ray, MRI and two orthopedic surgeon’s recommendations, I opted to heal it through physical therapy. No Limits Physical Therapy was recommended to me by a friend. When I called to make an appointment, Adam was taking new patients. I had my first visit with him that August. Adam was easy and enjoyable to work with! He embraced the challenge of putting the pieces together to rehab my ankle. I’m back to all of my regular activities, walking, hiking, jogging, lifting and Yoga! I am forever grateful for Adam and he will always be one of my angels here on Earth! 💖
