What is Sports Physical Therapy?

 

Sports physical therapy is a type of therapy that will focus your treatments more specifically on getting you back to playing the sport, or sports, you love. These sessions might include stretching, soft tissue massage, or high-level functional exercises that focus on the needs of your sport.
