Sports Physical Therapy In Cedar Park
Orthopedic & Sports Rehab
Not a runner? No problem at all! I’m genuinely pleased you’re here. Dealing with pain that impacts your lifestyle or exercise routine can be immensely frustrating. But you don’t have to endure it silently or adapt indefinitely. I’m here to offer support and guidance. Let’s address your pain together and work towards a solution that helps you live life to the fullest.
Standard Physical Therapy Evaluation
What to expect during your first day.
Detailed Injury & Training History
Your situation is unique. I will take time to listen to you to understand what’s going on, hear your thoughts and concerns, and gather information about your unique ecosystem. This will help me better understand your specific injury context and goals.
Functional Movement Exam
The beauty of running is its predictable performance demands. Ensuring you can directly load through key regions and tissues is essential to help you reclaim your lease on running. The tests I will take you through may include but are not limited to the following: single leg balance, various squatting assessments, and calf raises.
Orthopedic Exam
Assessing specific tissues to examine your strength, flexibility, and joint mobility to understand where there may be any areas that move too much or too little and how this compares to your uninvolved side.
Running Gait Analysis (if appropriate)
I will perform a slow-motion analysis of your running pattern and examine your movement for unwanted deviations and inefficiencies that may be contributing to your injury.
Review of Findings
I will help you understand where your pain is coming from, the underlying causes of this area’s pain, and why it isn’t getting better.
Tailored Plan
You will get a follow-up email recapping the session while outlining a plan to follow over the next few weeks with pictures and/or video hyperlinks and links to any necessary equipment. We will also discuss any appropriate training and technique modifications. You can also email between the initial consultation and follow-up session.
Your Roadmap to Recovery
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
I learn about your concerns, identify the root causes of your pain or injury, and determine the best course of action.
Step 2: Tailored Treatment Plan
Next, I’ll outline the recommended therapies, exercises, and interventions and a realistic timeline for your progress.
Step 3: Physical Therapy Sessions
I will guide you through targeted exercises, hands-on techniques, and specialized interventions to address your unique needs.
Step 4: Progress Tracking & Adjustment
I will monitor progress to ensure you’re on the right path and make any modifications needed to optimize your recovery.
Physical Therapy Follow Up Treatment
When you come back in after your initial evaluation, we will review your progress, check in on how your exercise program is going, how your running/training plan is going, and determine if you require progression, regression, or modification of the current plan.
From there, you will undergo a one-on-one session that will help you advance towards your goals. While specific to each individual, sessions may include work on mobility, strength, neuromuscular control, and hands-on treatments. You will be supervised and given targeted cues to ensure your form is locked in and each intervention accomplishes the desired effect.
