How will working with a physical therapist help my athletic performance?
Athletes, by nature, generally desire to push themselves to accomplish new goals. Sometimes an athlete may master one sport, only to take on the challenge of mastering a new one. Olympic sprinters take on the slopes at the winter games and college athletes win national titles in multiple sports for this exact reason.
When participating in sports conditioning or pre-season training sessions, your goals never have to be definite. Our physical therapists can help you reach the peak of your performance in one area of your sport and then help you tackle the summit of another.
Additionally, our specialists are movement experts who can help you avoid injuries and enhance your technique. A few of the biggest benefits of working with a physical therapist for your sport include:
Developing healthy habits
While a physical therapist can help you reach physical goals, they can also help you work on general wellness goals, as well. For example, regular exercise, a healthy diet, and a strong focus on hydration are fundamental in improving your physical fitness level. Our physical therapist is a great resource to have when focusing on increasing strength and muscular functionality, as they can help you improve in all aspects of health and wellness.
Refocusing strengths
Our physical therapist can help you focus on improving your strength in areas that you may not have considered. Many parts of the body influence each other, and strengthening one can help with the function of another. Rather than jumping directly into a new form of activity, it makes sense to train your body to react to the new form of stimulation by improving your muscular strength and range of motion.
Overcoming injuries
Strength and conditioning programs are some of the best ways to overcome an injury and find relief for your pain. Each treatment is designed specifically to your needs and the condition of your injury, consisting of exercises and strength-building activities that are unique to your recovery.
How can I get started?
Have you recently sustained a sports-related injury? Are you looking to reach new heights in your sport? Are you trying to condition for a specific event? Is your season about to start? If so, you are a prime candidate for our sport-specific training programs at Austin Manual Therapy Associates.
