Sports Rehab

At Progression PT, our Sports Physical Therapy program is built for athletes and active individuals who demand more than just pain relief. They want to return to peak performance, fully recovered and stronger than before.

Whether you’re a competitive high school or college athlete, a weekend warrior, a recreational runner, or a fitness enthusiast, our sports specialized physical therapists in Princeton and Somerville, NJ understand the unique physical demands of sport and the mental toll an injury takes when it keeps you on the sidelines.

Sports physical therapy goes beyond standard rehabilitation. It addresses the biomechanical and neuromuscular factors that led to the injury in the first place, ensuring you don’t just recover, you come back more resilient. Our sports PT team uses movement screens, sport specific functional assessments, and performance based benchmarks to guide your progression from initial injury management all the way through return to sport clearance.

Conditions we commonly treat through sports physical therapy include:

• ACL sprains and post-reconstruction rehabilitation
• Meniscal tears
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Labral tears of the shoulder and hip
• Ankle sprains
• IT band syndrome
• Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome)
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Tennis elbow
• Golfer’s elbow
• Stress fractures
• Hamstring strains
• Groin injuries
• Overuse injuries of all types

We also work with athletes on injury prevention, movement optimization, and sports performance enhancement.

Our return to sport protocols are evidence based and criteria driven, meaning you’re cleared to return not just by timeline, but by demonstrating the strength, power, endurance, and neuromuscular control your sport demands.
