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. |
