Sports Medicine
The Sports Medicine branch of Indiana Physical Therapy
has been established since the company’s inception
back on 8/8/88, which just happened to coincide
with the first ever night game at Wrigley Field,
home of the Chicago Cubs. Sports related injuries
can be both acute and chronic in nature, occurring
from obvious trauma or subtly over time from an
overuse situation.

Treatment of
an athletic/sports related injury is best implemented
following a thorough evaluation, and the establishment
of specific and individualized functional goals
that, when achieved, will allow the individual to
return to the activity level desired. Restoring
range of motion, strength, flexibility, and eliminating
pain, swelling, and inflammation are essential.
Addressing muscle imbalances and correcting those
will also aid in the performance of the athlete,
once he or she is safe to return to playing. We
develop and implement individualized sport specific
rehabilitation programs for each athlete, and his
or her needs.
The rehabilitation of the athlete is not completed
when the athlete can walk or move the involved extremity,
but only when he or she has been returned to the
prior level of play before the injury occurred.
It is for this reason, the therapists at Indiana
Physical Therapy encourage maintaining communication
with the athlete/patient, even after discharge from
formal treatment, in order to assist and guide the
individual while progressing their program independently.
At Indiana Physical Therapy, we believe that own
job is not done until the athlete/patient has returned
to a level of function with which he or she is satisfied.
Our goal is to help you reach yours. |
