Rehabilitation
Sport Science Lab offers Physical Therapy provided by a CA licensed Physical Therapist with 24 years of experience in Orthopedic Injuries including Back/Spine, Shoulder, Elbow, Hip, Knee and Foot/Ankle injuries. Rehabilitation at SSL is intertwined with the same physical training each athlete uses that is designed specifically for the individual and their sport. Modifications are made for the injury until the person is fully rehabilitated. At SSL, modalities are used along with hands on therapies including joint mobilization, passive and active range of motion and scar tissue mobilization. Modalities also used include Electrical Stim, Ultrasound, and Deep Muscle Stimulator.
Another option for rehabilitation, especially with post surgical candidates is Water Therapy and Rehabilitation. At SSL, the Olympic size training pool is highly beneficial for joints that cannot be loaded, while the water is used to promote strength and return elasticity to the surrounding musculature concurrently improving joint hydration and mechanics.
At SSL, rehabilitation is taken to a new level utilizing Isokinetic machines and plyometric machines that simulate function in sports. These strength machines not only strengthen muscles but do so in mostly unloaded joint positions that allow for faster contractions of surrounding musculature and do not cause Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. This allows athletes to regain function Faster and with less pain or discomfort in joints, tendons and ligaments. This, combined with expert biomechanical analysis of movement patterns, and expert understanding of the pathophysiology of injuries allows the therapist and trainers at SSL to more quickly rehabilitate athletes and get them back to their primary sport with better function.
It should also be noted that every athlete that comes to SSL learns high level Core and Foot/Ankle strengthening that rounds out their rehabilitation for a more balanced return to sports.
Sport Science Lab is an athletic training facility and does not bill insurance companies. We accept private payment methods.
