Rexburg Sports Medicine

Sports physical therapy at Pick PT emphasizes the prevention, identification, assessment, minimization, and correction of pain and disability associated with athletic injuries. It is our goal at Pick PT to assist athletes to EXCEL in their respective sport by decreasing the amount of time it takes to recover and decreasing risk of future injuries.

Anyone, athlete or otherwise, who has ever had an injury knows the pain that can remain even years later. If an injury isn’t properly rehabilitated, pain and limited range of motion can decrease quality of life. For athletes, chronic pain and suboptimal movement will absolutely decrease performance. With the help of a sports physical therapist, athletes can rest assured that the injury was thoroughly repaired and they can continue to perform their best.

Why Sports Physical Therapy?

Our physical therapists are trained in techniques to get you back to playing at a high/competitive level. They will take you through a progression of interventions including sport specific agility exercises to determine your ability to return to sport safely after an injury. With our pre-sport screenings, we will be able to determine areas of musculoskeletal impairment and establish programs to safely assist you as you prepare to kick off the season! Components of Sport Physical Therapy include, but are not limited to:

• pre-participation screening
• cardiovascular, resistance, endurance and neuromuscular re-education exercise programs
• taping and bracing
• sports-specific ergonomic and performance training regimens
• manual physical therapy
• orthopedic physical therapy
