Sports injuries affect more than your body—they impact your routine, your goals, and your sense of momentum. Whether you're a competitive athlete or simply someone who enjoys staying active, an injury can feel incredibly frustrating. Suddenly, your workouts, training sessions, or weekend activities become limited. You might find yourself dealing with swelling, stiffness, or weakness that makes normal movement feel uncomfortable. You may also struggle with the emotional side of recovery: setbacks, fear of reinjury, and the disappointment of stepping away from what you love.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we understand how deeply these challenges can affect your quality of life. That’s why we emphasize early, structured physical therapy—a critical step in making sure your injury heals correctly and fully. When guided by skilled clinicians, physical therapy not only reduces pain and inflammation, but also restores strength, mobility, and confidence so you can return to activity safely.
Our philosophy is simple:
Use the least invasive, most effective movement-based treatments to help patients heal quickly, naturally, and with long-term success.
By focusing on biomechanics, proper muscle activation, and joint stability, our sports injury physical therapy programs help athletes recover with less pain and more control, allowing them to move with confidence again.
Physical therapy is one of the most important tools an athlete can rely on after an injury. It not only accelerates healing, but also addresses the root cause of pain, imbalance, or dysfunction—helping athletes return to their sport stronger and more resilient than before.
Restores Biomechanics After Injury
Injury disrupts how your body moves. Physical therapy corrects faulty mechanics, retrains healthy movement patterns, and ensures joints and muscles work together efficiently.
Prevents Reinjury
By strengthening weak areas, improving stability, and correcting technique issues, PT dramatically lowers the risk of future injuries—especially in high-demand sports.
Reduces Pain Naturally Without Addictive Medications
Therapies like manual work, mobility training, strengthening, and corrective movement reduce pain safely, making PT a core part of Medici’s non-addictive treatment philosophy.
Supports Long-Term Joint and Muscle Health
PT enhances tissue durability, improves circulation, and maintains the flexibility and stability athletes need for high-performance activity.
Helps Athletes Return to Sport Safely
Rehabilitation is structured to help you regain strength, speed, mobility, and confidence—ensuring you return to your sport with a lower risk of setbacks.
Sports injuries come in many forms—from sudden impacts to slow-building overuse patterns. Physical therapy plays a key role in treating all of them, helping restore optimal function and prevent future issues.
Muscle strains are among the most frequent sports injuries. They often occur from explosive movements, fatigue, or improper warm-ups.
Common strains we treat include:
Ligaments support and stabilize your joints. When overstretched, they can cause instability and pain.
We commonly treat:
Tendons can become inflamed or weakened through repetitive stress, sudden load increases, or acute trauma.
Examples include:
Overuse injuries occur when repetitive motions irritate muscles, joints, or connective tissue.
Common conditions include:
Joints take a lot of stress in athletic activities. Physical therapy is essential for restoring strength and mobility.
We frequently treat:
The spine plays a major role in performance, balance, and power. Injuries here require careful, movement-based treatment.
Common sports-related spine injuries include:
Some athletes require surgery, especially for more severe tears or structural injuries. Physical therapy is essential for:
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all recovery. Every athlete moves differently, trains differently, and responds to injury differently. That’s why our physical therapy programs are built around precision, personalization, and minimally invasive strategies that help you heal safely while restoring strength, mobility, and confidence.
Your recovery starts with a detailed assessment designed to identify the root causes of your pain and movement limitations.
Detailed Movement Analysis
We assess how your body moves during daily activities and sport-specific motions to uncover imbalances and compensations.
Injury History Review
Understanding how the injury occurred helps us tailor your treatment plan and reduce the risk of reinjury.
Range of Motion, Strength & Balance Testing
We evaluate mobility, muscle activation, stability, and neuromuscular control to create a comprehensive picture of your needs.
Strength is a foundation of athletic performance and injury prevention. Our strengthening programs focus on restoring solid, balanced muscle function.
Muscle Reconditioning
We target weakened or inhibited muscles to rebuild strength safely.
Core Stabilization
A strong core protects the spine, improves posture, and enhances performance across all sports.
Sport-Specific Muscle Targeting
Whether you sprint, lift, jump, or rotate, we train the exact muscles your sport demands.
Optimal mobility reduces strain, improves performance, and speeds recovery.
Stretching Protocols
Customized routines enhance flexibility where you need it most.
Myofascial Release
Hands-on techniques release tightness in the muscles and connective tissue.
Joint Mobility Work
Specific mobilizations help restore smooth, pain-free joint movement.
Hands-on care is a powerful part of the Medici recovery process.
Soft Tissue Work
We gently release tension, break down adhesions, and improve circulation.
Joint Mobilization
Controlled movements help restore proper joint mechanics.
Manual Stretching
Therapeutic stretching enhances range of motion and reduces stiffness.
Injury disrupts how your muscles and nerves communicate. We rebuild those pathways with intentional, targeted training.
Restoring Movement Patterns
We help retrain your body to move efficiently and safely.
Improving Balance & Coordination
Essential for agility, quick changes of direction, and preventing falls or reinjury.
As healing progresses, we shift toward exercises that mirror your actual sport.
Gradual Return to Training Loads
We increase strength and intensity safely, without overwhelming injured structures.
Rebuilding Speed, Agility & Power
Focused drills help you regain explosiveness and athletic confidence.
Technique & Biomechanics Correction
We address movement flaws that may have contributed to the original injury.
Pain relief plays an important role in early recovery, helping you move comfortably and progress steadily.
Options may include:
These modalities support healing by reducing pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
Medici offers additional advanced treatments to support physical therapy when needed.
Injections (When Appropriate)
Targeted injections can quickly reduce inflammation or pain to allow full participation in rehab.
Regenerative Medicine (PRP, Prolotherapy)
These natural therapies help heal and strengthen injured ligaments, tendons, and joints.
Medication Management (Non-Addictive)
We use medication carefully and only when necessary—never as a long-term solution.
Together, these therapies enhance the effectiveness of physical therapy and help athletes return to activity stronger and more stable than before.
Sports injuries can feel discouraging—one moment you’re training hard, and the next you’re dealing with pain, swelling, or limited movement that slows everything down. But healing doesn’t have to be stressful or overwhelming. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, Dr. Sonny Dosanjh and our team specialize in personalized, non-surgical physical therapy programs that help athletes recover safely, rebuild strength, and regain confidence in their movement.
Whether you’re facing a brand-new injury or a lingering issue that just won’t resolve, we’re here to guide you with advanced, compassionate care tailored to your goals. Our approach focuses on movement, biomechanics, and minimally invasive techniques—supporting faster recovery and long-term performance.
