Overview
Rehab that meets your sport-specific needs
At UW Health, we understand that staying healthy when competing in a sport or participating in an activity is the key to being your best. When you get injured or need to rehab following surgery, you want to get back to your sport as soon as possible.
Our sports rehabilitation physical therapists and athletic trainers help you prevent injury and return to play. We create a rehabilitation and training plan that rebuilds your strength, mobility and improves your movement control and coordination. We offer sports specific rehabilitation programs as well as programs for tactical athletes (police, fire and military), aging athletes and those recovering from lower extremity injuries like ACL reconstruction.
