Albany Sport and Spine Physical Therapy

Albany Sport and Spine Physical Therapy Welcome to Albany Sport and Spine Physical Therapy where we strive to provide the most complete pati again.

We feel there is a better, more complete, way to do Physical Therapy and it starts with the individual. Every person has their own motivations and goals for getting pain free and moving better after injury or surgery, and each has their own unique characteristics contributing to their pain in the first place. Our System takes a whole body approach; we get down to the root cause of the problem and make you the expert of your body, allowing you to work, live, play….. Our formula for providing this individualized approach is giving one-on-one focused treatment sessions. This allows us the ability to analyze how you move and what moves you, so we can assist in pain reduction and guide your rehabilitation. This approach enables you to reach your physical potential in life, work, recreation, and sports. Our mission is to be the premier sports and orthopedic rehabilitation facility in the greater Willamette Valley. Albany Sport and Spine Physical Therapy, as a sibling of Corvallis Sport and Spine Physical Therapy, allows us to bring the same patient centered care and focus that the Sport and Spine name has build to Albany and the surrounding area.

Why It Works Wednesday

Andrea Bulat, DPT and Elias aka “Worlds Strongest Man”show how the data doesn’t lie when using the VALD dynamometer. Moving through shoulder flexion is one thing; producing elite force is another. For our athletes we use the dynamometer to track every pound of force. This helps us identify strength deficits early, set objective goals for return to play, and reduce risk of future rotator cuff issues. Get back to playing with confidence, give us a call to book your shoulder assessment.

With Elias being a volleyball hitter, Andrea gets the numbers using the VALD dynamometer for shoulder extension. Shoulder extension is the hidden driver behind the heavy swing. It allows you to pull the arm through and generate power behind the ball. It’s also the “secret sauce” for swimmers, pitchers and gymnasts, and javelin throwers. Using the VALD system we ensure left-to-right symmetry and bulletproof joint health before game day. We are your game changers.
