Injury-Specific Physical Therapy for Hanover Athletes
We don’t do a one-size-fits-all approach. We rely on our evaluation and examination skills to develop a personalized plan of care for each athlete based on their specific injury and recovery goals.
Knee Pain & ACL Reconstruction Rehab
ACL reconstruction rehabilitation is one of Perform Strong Physical Therapy’s treatment specialties. These plans of care require a unique and extensive treatment approach that our Doctors of Physical Therapy have extensive experience working with. We are in constant contact with you throughout the treatment process and your safe return to sport is our primary goal. Our specialized strength assessments, return to run protocols, and return to sport testing batteries are some of the features that set us apart when treating athletes who have undergone ACL reconstruction surgery.
Shoulder Pain & Throwing Injuries
Throwing athletes are another treatment specialty at Perform Strong Physical Therapy. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy have experience working with throwing athletes at the professional level, and they are able to implement these same treatment protocols with the area’s local athletes. Treating overhead throwers requires extensive knowledge of shoulder and elbow anatomy, the kinematic sequencing involved during throwing, torques and levers involved with throwing, return to throw protocols, and workload management. Our extensive experience implementing these concepts is what sets us apart when treating overhead athletes at Perform Strong Physical Therapy.
Tendon Injuries
Acute and/or chronic tendon pain can be highly painful and performance-limiting. At Perform Strong Physical Therapy, we understand how to properly manage the complexities of all that is involved with tendon pain. There are several common misconceptions and poor management strategies when it comes to tendon pain. Our Sports Physical Therapists are well versed in managing these cases optimally to get you back to your sport with the confidence to perform at a high level, and to provide the education required to self-manage symptoms.
Low Back Pain
Low back pain is very common in athletes that are producing high, repetitive forces. We take a holistic approach when assessing these injuries and are quick to safely diagnose your pain producing structure(s). Our diagnostic skills will dictate whether your ankle injury requires further evaluation and imaging, or if you are ready to begin your rehab process with us immediately.
Ankle Sprains & Instability
Do not let the common misconceptions of treating ankle sprains get in the way of your return to sport. Our diagnostic skills will dictate whether your ankle injury requires further evaluation and imaging, or if you are ready to begin your rehab process with us immediately.
What Hanover Athletes Are Saying
“I went to Clubhouse Athletics for about a year. I went there for rehab for my ACL. My experience there has been extremely positive. Alex & Matt are amazing trainers. Each session, I am pushed to my fullest potential in a positive and encouraging way. The facility is very clean and has top tier equipment. They are very flexible and work around my schedule. Last winter I had a very busy schedule and Alex would let me come in on Sunday mornings when needed to get a training session in. Alex & Matt are both great with communicating and making sure I am on track. I have seen amazing progress through my training with both Alex and Matt. They both would go out of their way to send me extra training to do during my time away from Clubhouse when I was back at college. The environment is very fun to be in. Alex and Matt both were determined to get me back out on the field. I have been to many physical therapy facilities, and none of them have been as great as Clubhouse Athletics has been. My cousin goes to Clubhouse Athletics for strength training, and he absolutely loves it as well. My results were fast and effective. I would recommend Clubhouse to anyone for many reasons; it truly is the best.” – Katie Y.
“I came to Perform Strong PT after struggling with a rock climbing related soft tissue wrist injury. Not only was it preventing me from climbing, but it was affecting my daily activities. to the point I couldn’t even open doors with my right hand. Alex was able to work with me to rehab my wrist, going from pain doing simple tasks to fully back to my sport.” – Chase M.
“You will not meet someone more professional in this field than Alex with Perform Strong PT at Clubhouse Athletics. I have been working with him for about a year and a half now, and he has always been tremendous, and I haven’t had a better experience anywhere else. He knows what he is doing, and the results show it. I wouldn’t have been able to play my high school senior season if it weren’t for Alex.” – Brendan C.
