Sports Rehabilitation

Whatever your injury, it’s important that you know how it happened and how to avoid it happening again. Studies have repeatedly shown that once a body region is compromised by injury, re-injury of that area is statistically much more likely. Some common injuries we have extensive knowledge in treating include:

  • ACL, MCL, PCL and meniscus tears

  • Patellofemoral syndrome

  • Hip flexor strain

  • Hamstring strain

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Tennis elbow

  • Ankle sprain

  • Shin splints

With our unlimited access to the YMCA of Burlington’s high quality gym facilities, VTPT can help you avoid chronic, persisting injuries whether you’re a hardcore athlete or a weekend warrior.

PRE/POST-SURGICAL REHABILITATION

The better your body is prepared prior to surgery, the better your post-surgical outcome tends to be. PT before surgery helps to strengthen the muscles and soft tissues around the injury site, resulting in a less complicated recovery after surgery. Regardless of whether you are in a program prior to your surgery, post-surgical rehab is a key element to easing you back into safe and comfortable movement and function.

BALANCE AND GAIT TRAINING

“Proprioception” is the ability to sense where your limbs are oriented in space. Balance and gait are part of our proprioceptive system and can be retrained to function more normally, just like our muscles can. VTPT therapists assess balance and gait limitations and can provide specific programs tailored to meet individual patient needs.
