Hardships often prepare ordinary people for extraordinary destiny
- C.S. Lewis

Orthopedic sports rehabilitation is a specialized area of care focusing on the prevention and treatment of sports related injuries. No matter your age, whether you are a competitive athlete, recreational player, or a weekend warrior, our physical therapists at Albany Sport and Spine Physical Therapy are trained to help you get back onto the field, the court, or in the gym. Many of our patients say they feel safer, stronger, and more prepared to participate in their sport after rehabilitation than prior to injury.

When you arrive at Albany Sport and Spine Physical Therapy for your first visit, you will be partnered with the best therapist who is well diverse in your particular sport so they can provide you with the best care possible. They will review your sports background, your medical history, and your goals prior to delving into your injury assessment. They will perform a thorough evaluation of your specific injury, movement dysfunctions, and requirements for your sport to take a whole body rehabilitation approach tailored to your needs in order to facilitate return to full performance or play at an optimal level. Your physical therapy team will utilize a combination of activities to gain range of motion and strength as well as retrain movement and provide hands on manual therapy approaches tailored to your condition and goals.
