Therapeutic Associates’ Sports Medicine program protects athletes with a proactive, practical approach to injury prevention. It supports injured athletes with a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation that is designed to enhance recovery and facilitate return to function in the shortest time possible. TAI’s specialists are physical and occupational therapists whose knowledge and expertise are available to help you prevent injuries, maintain health, and work or play more comfortably. Therapeutic Associates takes the complexity out of the prevention and management of sports injuries.

Stretch Brochures

Many injuries can be prevented by simply taking time to stretch before and after sports activities. We've prepared brochures for various sports, illustrating stretches that target muscles used for those activities. For more information on how physical therapy can help improve athletic performance, contact a local TAI clinic near you.

Recovery

Athletes of all ability have a “ceiling” of athletic potential. Pushing the limits may increase the risk of injury. A strong foundation and efficient movement patterns can reduce the possibility of injury and can enhance performance. With an increase in weight lifting and the use of supplements among athletes today, muscle and joint injuries are on the rise. Additionally, there is an alarming increase in the number of orthopedic injuries. Therapeutic Associates believes that standard weight lifting techniques and machines may create muscle imbalances and strengthen muscles in non-functional patterns. Athletes are not body builders … why train that way?

To reach your maximum potential, conditioning programs must include strengthening, endurance, flexibility, neuromuscular stabilization, power building, speed, and skill training. For this reason, we will develop a customized, systematic performance conditioning program specific to your needs to ensure maximum recovery in a safe and healing environment.
