Sports Medicine
Creating a foundation for athletic health
The Sports Medicine Program at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation - Outpatient Therapy is designed to get you back on the road, the court, the ice or the field as quickly as possible following an injury. Our highly proficient therapists use a combination of skills such as manual therapy, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, instruction in sport-specific strengthening and mobility exercises and video analysis to encourage appropriate healing of injured tissues.
Many of our therapists not only treat patients in their chosen sport but also compete or participate in it, which allows them to understand the stresses of the sport and the mechanics needed to perform efficiently. For athletes of different levels, we partner with specialists to develop your treatment plan.
Our teams provide expert treatment for sport-related injuries like:
- Stress Fractures
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Planter fasciitis
- ITB syndrome
- Post-surgical
- Meniscus repair
- ACL
- Rotator cuff
- Hip
- Shoulder
- Overuse injuries
- Back & neck injuries
- Sprains & strains
We treat thousands of athletes at our centers nationwide. Our goal with each one of them is to help them resume the activity they love and achieve their individual goals. We also treat injuries that happen in play, work and artistic performance. Some crossover with athletic injuries while others are unique to activity and lifestyle.
We'll meet you where you are. Whether it's help with injury prevention, recovery or performance, we'll work to:
- Restore function
- Decrease pain
- Increase strength and flexibility
- Educate on avoiding injury
- Optimize performance
- Return you to activity
