Who this is for

  • Athletes recovering from injury or surgery
  • Players who finished formal rehab and still do not trust the injured area
  • In-season athletes with an injury that needs a real plan, not just rest
  • Parents looking for individualized care for a high school or club athlete
  • College and adult competitors who want rehab that respects the demands of their sport
We commonly work with soccer, lacrosse, football, basketball, baseball, and golf athletes, along with other field, court, and rotational sports.

What return-to-sport rehab has to restore

Reducing pain is the start, not the finish. Getting back to sport means restoring the physical qualities that let you compete:

Strength, including side-to-side symmetry

Control and coordination

Deceleration and landing quality

Change of direction

Rotational power for rotational sports

Confidence under load

Tolerance for the volume and intensity your sport demands

The evaluation

The evaluation looks at more than the injury site. We want to know:

  • What happened and what has been done so far
  • What phase of recovery you are in
  • What your sport asks of your body
  • What is still missing in movement, strength, or control, measured, not assumed
  • What milestones have to be hit before full return

How progression works

Your plan may include:

  • Movement re-education
  • Strength progressions, with attention to the uninjured side as the benchmark
  • Balance and control work
  • Power development and plyometrics
  • Running, cutting, and change-of-direction preparation when appropriate
  • Return-to-practice and return-to-competition planning with clear criteria
  • Communication with coaches, trainers, or surgeons when it helps
The point is not to rush you. The point is to build toward real readiness, and to be able to show you the numbers that prove it.

Why athletes and parents value one-on-one care

Athletes do best when the rehab process feels specific. One-on-one care gives space for closer monitoring, better coaching, stronger communication, and treatment that changes as the athlete improves.

Common situations we help with

  • ACL recovery and return to cutting sports
  • Knee rehab, including meniscus and patellar issues
  • Shoulder and elbow injuries, including throwing athletes
  • Groin, hip flexor, and hamstring injuries
  • Ankle sprains with lingering instability
  • Overuse injuries during the season
  • “I finished PT but I still do not feel game-ready”

GOT A QUESTION?

Sports rehab questions

Do you work with youth athletes?

Yes. High school and club athletes are a large part of this practice. Parents are welcome in the session.
No. It is also for athletes recovering from non-surgical injuries or recurring movement issues.
It helps. We look at what is helping, what may be too early, and what is missing, and we fit the plan around your training.
With criteria, not a calendar. Strength symmetry, hop and landing tests, change-of-direction quality, and how you tolerate sport-specific load. We share those numbers with you as you go.
Yes, when you want us to. Keeping everyone on the same page shortens the return.

Ready for a clearer plan?

One-on-one care with Dr. Michael Smith. No hand-offs, no crowded treatment floor, no guessing.
