Participating in sports and the performing arts can often result in injury.  Pro athletes, performing artists and weekend warriors alike experience injuries that are a result of accidents, insufficient stretching, or inadequate training. 

Sports and performing arts injuries are categorized as overuse and acute:

• Overuse injuries are a result of repetitive activity and may be prevented by proper training, and listening to our bodies when pain and discomfort set in.  Consulting a physical therapist when beginning a new exercise regime or at the first sign of discomfort can keep you in the game or performing longer.
  
  
• Acute injuries are most often the result of a single trauma. Our physical therapists are trained and specialized in recognizing the best course of treatment to help the artist or the athlete return to perform at their highest potential.
