Sports Medicine involves preventing injury while participating in sports, treating sports injuries, and rehabilitating athletes to their optimal level following injury.
A majority of sports injuries are from overuse. Treatment includes a thorough evaluation to identify all of the contributing factors. A good understanding of biomechanics and kinesiology in the sporting activity plays an important role in determining an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan for sports injuries.
I draw my Sports Medicine experiences from participating in team sports through college and endurance events later in life. From professional athletes to weekend warriors let Streubel Physical Therapy help you maximize your participation and performance.
Specific Programs at Streubel Physical Therapy Include:
- Sport-specific rehabilitation programs: An individualized sport-specific program following injury or surgery can speed your recovery and return to competition.

I will prescribe a plan to help recover from injury and improve running efficiency. This will include exercise prescription and running drills.
