Benefits of Performance PT

Performance physical therapy is a specialized approach that goes beyond traditional physical therapy. It focuses on optimizing athletic performance and preventing future injuries, not just restoring function after surgery or an injury. Performance physical therapy and strength training work together to enhance athletic performance and to prevent injuries. It focuses on individualized exercises that target movement quality, mobility, strength, and stability to help you train smarter, not harder. 

Whether you’re a competitive powerlifter, weightlifter, crossfitter, or just someone who loves hitting the weights, here’s how performance physical therapy can take your strength to the next level: 

Enhanced Movement Quality: 

Performance physical therapists analyze your lifting mechanics, posture, range of motion, stability, and control. By identifying areas that need improvement, we can provide cues and specific exercises to optimize your performance, improve your efficiency, and improve your power output.

Speed up Recovery: 

Recovery is where muscle growth happens! Performance physical therapy supports recovery techniques including dry needling, cupping, myofascial release, and guided stretching routines that reduce soreness and boost circulation. These techniques will help you bounce back quicker! 

Prevent Injuries: 

Performance physical therapy uses movement assessment and biomechanics analysis. Strength training puts your body under stress. By analyzing your lifting technique we can identify faulty movement patterns and address these areas that may increase your risk of injury. 

Longevity in Lifting: 

Staying strong and lifting for many years takes strategy. Performance physical therapy helps you train in a way that supports your joints, preserves tissue health, evolves with your body, and assists with recovery.
