Make Your Comeback

Make Your Comeback

My goal at Empowered Athletics PT is to revolutionize the care that athletes receive.

Athletes work with me, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, for their entire session instead of being handed off to a less trained staff member after 15-30 minutes.

All physical therapy care is 100% customized to an athlete’s needs (no cookie-cutter exercise programs here).

Because of my extensive experience with the physical demands of sports, I have both the skill and equipment available to incorporate therapy, exercises, and training that are appropriate to prepare an athletes' body for the high demands of sports participation.

I find that with this approach, my clients get out of pain faster, resolve injuries more thoroughly, and learn a lot about their own body in the process.

The Process

  • A valuable conversation where we get to spend time (that doesn’t take away from your actual initial evaluation and treatment) diving into a thorough history of your pain/injury, sports experience, and goal and you get to know who you’re working with.

  • This is where we evaluate your body from both a big picture view and in the specific area of pain/concern, make a plan about what it will likely take to see meaningful improvements and reach your goals, and start our treatment process!

  • PT is a collaboration between you and your therapist. All treatment sessions are 1-on-1 for a full hour with the same physical therapist and we work to address the root cause(s) of your pain. Interventions—from hands on care to education to therapeutic exercises—are customized to your needs.

  • With dedication and commitment from both client and therapist, our work together will help you

    • Make your comeback (after time away, surgery, or injury, etc)

    • Stay in the game (whatever your game may be)

    • Fix the cracks in your movement foundation

    • Calm your anxieties around aches & pains

    • And unlock your athletic potential (at any age)
