We Keep Richmond Moving!
SPORTS
Customized for you and your active lifestyle, our physical therapists work with Richmond athletes to heal sports injuries, increase mobility, and improve overall performance.
Gait training for runners
A comprehensive evaluation of the way an individual stands, walks, and runs that helps identify the source of muscle, nerve or skeletal problems. We also offer complimentary screening programs for athletes in order to prevent injury.
Musculoskeletal Evaluation For Cyclists
Avoid injury or poor performance with a preventative static and dynamic evaluation that identifies issues ahead of time.
A video analysis of skeletal and muscular position, tilt, joint angles, and movement while riding helps us determine any functional leg-length difference, forefoot and pelvic tilt, as well as key points during pedaling for adjustment.
Sports Injuries
Optimize performance and avoid or heal injuries acquired from consistent athleticism.
We offer personalized exercises and techniques to enhance your overall biomechanics, strengthening weak areas and improving flexibility required for the particular sport your play.
Gait Training For Runners
Ladder Drills For Dynmaic Movement
ACL Rehab
One validated set of metrics for return to sport is the Hop Test. This four-part test for an alumni Randolph Macon ⚽️ soccer player compares the surgical limb to the non-surgical in a series of hopping drills.
Ankle rehab
Progressing with lateral movements and change of direction was the final hurdle for this professional 🏀 basketball player to overcome ankle pain and get back on the court after a sprain.
Muscle Recovery
Working on strength and neuromuscular control with these soleus step raises. This a great exercise to get back to walking, 👟 running, & jumping by strengthening the powerful soleus muscle in the lower leg. Additionally, this exercise adds a challenge for the hips and glutes of holding the isometric lunge.
Shoulder Stability
A recreational 🎾 tennis player and overhead athlete practices wall dribble circles as a fun and functional exercise to build shoulder stability and muscle endurance. He’s working hard to keep his elbow near the wall as he controls the ball with quick finger tip dribbles through an arc from above his head to shoulder level and back.
