REHABILITATION
The philosophy behind our Rehabilitation program is to assist the natural healing processes of the body. The course of therapy chosen by the sports medicine physician is determined using their knowledge of the healing process to guide, direct, and stimulate the function and integrity of the injured tissue. The primary goal is to positively influence the inflammation and repair processes in order to expedite recovery and to restore range of motion, muscular strength and endurance, neuromuscular control, and cardiorespiratory endurance. Special consideration is given to prevent the re-occurrence of injury and tissue overload by incorporating individualized home-program instruction and sport-specific exercises
