Sports Injury Treatment at Active Health Solutions

In sports, pushing your limits is how you achieve peak performance. But pushing too hard can sometimes lead to injuries that sideline you from the game. At Active Health Solutions, we understand your dedication and frustration when injury strikes. Our team of highly skilled physical therapists uses the most advanced sports performance and rehabilitation strategies to get you back to your sport stronger and faster than before—right from the comfort of your home.

Why Choose Active Health Solutions for Sports Injuries?

Our physical therapists are movement specialists with a deep understanding of the human body and the mechanics of sports. Our therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to pinpoint the cause of your injury, considering your medical history, symptoms, and sport-specific demands.

We use this information to develop a customized plan tailored to your unique needs. Our team will help guide you with the knowledge and tools to manage your injury effectively and prevent future problems.

Common Sports Injuries and Their Impact

Overuse Injuries

Caused by repetitive stress on muscles, tendons, or joints, overuse injuries often present as gradual pain, tenderness, and swelling. Common examples include shin splints, runner’s knee, swimmer’s shoulder, and tennis elbow.

Acute Injuries

These sudden injuries can occur from falls, impacts, or awkward movements. Examples include ankle sprains, muscle strains, and ligament tears (ACL, MCL). These injuries often cause immediate pain, swelling, and difficulty performing specific movements.

Concussions

A brain injury caused by a blow to the head, concussions can significantly impact balance, coordination, and cognitive function. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. If you suspect a concussion, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately.

Beyond Basic Rehab

A Multifaceted Approach to Sports Injuries

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all rehab plans. Modern sports physical therapy focuses on addressing not just the injury itself but also the underlying biomechanical factors that may have contributed to it. Cutting-edge training ensures our therapists guide you toward optimal muscle activation and motor control retraining. 

Beyond static assessments, we employ functional movement screening to assess how your body moves dynamically during sport-specific activities. This helps us identify movement dysfunction that could be a risk factor for future injuries. 

Our focus on movement dysfunction and biomechanical imbalances goes beyond simply treating the injury. Our mobile therapists are sports performance specialists who design a personalized program incorporating therapeutic exercises and sport-specific drills. This ensures a smooth transition back to your sport while improving overall performance.

Annie treated me after a bike accident laid me up. She was thoughtful, caring, and incredibly effective!! She made a program that perfectly suited my goal of getting back on the bike ASAP. Almost good as new at this point!

– Andrew H.

This is the best way to get PT, in the comfort of your own home. I have used Annie for two sports injuries and her support is practical and effective; I am back to running as fast as ever.

– Charles W.

I tore my ACL last year and by my great luck, Annie ended up as my physical therapist. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and friendly, answering all of my many, many questions and listening to whatever I wanted to discuss with her. She knew when to push and when to be supportive — and she was great company during all…

– Hilary

As a recreational athlete recovering from shoulder surgery, Annie has been absolutely essential to my rehab. She created a very effective regimen and adjusted treatment depending on my goals and how I was feeling each session. The flexibility Annie offers was really important for me to continue working and getting back to a normal schedule. She’s also affable and patient, which was appreciated during the tougher days of my therapy. I would highly recommend Annie to anyone needing physical therapy!

– Taylor

As a former division 1 college athlete, I have experience with trainers, physical therapists, and post injury rehabilitation (more than I would like). The experience I recently had working with Annie K as part of my recovery from an ankle injury (two fractures and tendon damage) was 100% positive and I would recommend her without hesitation. Annie’s pleasant demeanor, strong academic foundation, encouraging approach, perceptive understanding of what her patient’s limits are, and “miracle hands” made my road to recovery as pleasant and short as possible. I am now fully recovered, as active as I have ever been. I know that would not have been possible without Annie.
