Injury Rehabilitation and Prevention

Whether you have been sidelined by a sports injury or suffered an injury by some other means, we understand the frustration of being injured. You’re missing out on the game you love, being at work with your colleagues, or enjoying your favorite hobby and your main focus is getting better and getting back out there. But not taking the time to properly rehabilitate an injury and rushing your recovery will lead to a longer healing time and can create a chronic condition that could lead to even more time away from the things you love.

At the Center for Health and Longevity, our dedicated Rehabilitation and Prevention Team specializes in the injury treatment and recovery process by helping our patients take the necessary steps to properly heal and return to their activities stronger than ever. We understand that every person is unique, as is every injury, which is why our approach starts with the  individual and is built from there.

When you come to our office we create a personalized Injury Rehabilitation and Prevention treatment plan

Our expert team of doctors and therapists are dedicated to creating a customized treatment plan to address the root cause of your injury and craft a recovery plan to achieve optimal healing. Some key components your personalized Injury Rehabilitation Program include are:

• Hands-On Manual Therapy – Manual therapy techniques involve hands-on joint mobilization and stretching, deep tissue release techniques, and soft tissue massage to reduce pain, decrease swelling by increasing blood flow and aiding in the release of toxins, and improve your range of motion
• Therapeutic Exercise – Our therapists will design a tailor-made exercise program to focus on strengthening and stabilizing the injured area to help you regain control, restore function, and rebuild the muscles and connective tissues surrounding your injury
• Functional Movement Training – As part of your recovery plan, we incorporate functional movement exercises into your rehabilitation program to help you develop strength and endurance in movements that directly relate to your sport or activity, as well as enhancing your overall health
• Neuromuscular Re-education – To restore proper movement patterns and increase joint stability, we utilize neuromuscular re-education techniques such as proprioceptive training to increase balance and coordination
• Sport-Specific Training – Working closely with you, our therapists will develop a sport-specific training program to prepare you for returning to your sport by developing strength in specific muscle groups, increasing coordination, and improving your reaction time
• Injury Prevention Strategies – Looking to the future to  prevent your injury from recurring, our therapists will work with you on proper body mechanics, correct sport-specific  technique, and effective warm-up and cool-down procedures to minimize the risk of future injuries

It is important to start treatment and rehabilitation soon after an injury happens and continue therapy to speed up recovery and prevent re-injury.
