5 Ways Physical Therapy Can Improve Sports Performance
Physical Therapy can and will improve your Sports Performance! Oftentimes we think of PT as simply a means to get back on the field. And while of course, this is the main objective for most athletes who attend PT, there are many more benefits to pursuing physical therapy than simply a return to play! If you choose the right sports centric rehab center, your game can reap the benefits! Read on to find out how.
1. Increased Coordination: Your PT sessions may include an array of graded exercises designed to safely and efficiently restore your full function and get you back to doing what you love faster! You may use muscles you never knew you had, and you might find yourself emerging from your rehab with increased body awareness and coordination that can assist you once you get back out on the court/field!
2. Better Balance: Working your balance in therapy can pay big dividends in the game. Better balance means you’ll be able to hold your positions, stand your ground, and pull off the highlight plays better than your competitors. Don’t underestimate the importance of developing your stability and control. Strength alone just won’t cut it!
3. Injury Prevention: What’s the best way to keep you excelling at your sport? Keeping you in the game! Physical Therapy at Trifecta is designed to optimize your body mechanics and strengthen key muscles that contribute to injury prevention. You’ll learn strategies that you can take with you to apply to your warmups, training routines, and overall athletic game plan that can help you for the rest of your athletic career!
4. More Mobility: Your mobility plays a huge part in being able to perform at your peak. Imagine if you were a pitcher who was leaving speed on the table because you couldn’t get your shoulder through the proper range of motion to throw the ball at high speeds, or a soccer player who couldn’t get adequate hip extension to kick the ball as hard as they could. Mobility is an often overlooked, but crucial component of athletic performance, and one that physical therapy can address!
5. Reduce Pain: Anyone who’s ever played through pain/soreness knows how much it can compromise your performance. Don’t settle for suboptimal! A sports rehab like Trifecta has all the tools you need to accelerate your recovery and optimize your body. Our goal is to get you back to your activity, not hold you back!
