When you go to your primary care doctor to get a physical for clearance for a sport, do they ask about the demands of your sport? Do they check the mobility, strength, and stability of your shoulder if you are a pitcher or thrower? Do they look at your mechanics with squatting and landing to see if you are at risk for an ACL injury when you say you are in contact sports? Do they know the demands on your spine and your feet as a dancer or tumbling athlete?

That’s where a physical therapist comes in. A PT evaluation looks deeper, assessing sport-specific movement, strength, and injury risk. Our goal is to help young athletes perform better, safer, and longer!

Have you met Sara yet? 👋
Sara is one of the first smiling faces you'll see when you walk through our doors. Outside of the clinic, Sara taps into her creative side as a writer and coordinating independent animation productions. When she’s not working on a new project, she might be enjoying impromptu karaoke sessions in the car.
