Sports Physical Therapy Services

Our evidence-based sport physical therapy evaluations are designed to identify the root cause of injury and guide athletes of all levels—from weekend warriors to professional athletes—toward efficient recovery and long-term performance. We specialize in sports-related knee injuries, hip and groin pain, ankle sprains, achilles pain, shoulder injuries, low back pain and more.

Each session is a 60-minute, one-on-one evaluation focused on understanding your injury and your goals. We begin with a detailed history review, followed by a comprehensive examination that assesses not only the injured area, but also the regions above and below to identify contributing factors.

We then review your goals, sport demands, and performance expectations to build a clear, individualized plan. You’ll leave your first session with a targeted treatment strategy and next steps designed to reduce pain, restore movement, and prepare you to return to sport with confidence.

Post-operative rehabilitation is structured and individualized to guide athletes from day one after surgery through a safe and high-level return to sport. We assist athletes through every phase of recovery following procedures such as ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, shoulder stabilization, and Achilles tendon repair. Our goal is not just healing — it’s restoring strength, confidence, and sport readiness.

We also emphasize the importance of pre-operative rehabilitation (“prehab”) to establish baseline strength, mobility, and objective testing measures. This allows for more efficient recovery and helps guide post-operative progressions.

Your rehab program is designed to go beyond the surgical site. We incorporate strength and performance training for non-injured areas to maintain overall athleticism, reduce deconditioning, and support a faster return to sport.

We utilize advanced rehabilitation techniques and technology, including blood flow restriction (BFR) training, to safely build strength and accelerate recovery while protecting healing tissues.

Throughout your recovery, we work closely with your surgeon and follow evidence-based protocols, ensuring appropriate progressions while tailoring your program to your specific sport, goals, and timeline.

Our goal is not just to help you recover from surgery—but to return you to sport stronger, more confident, and better prepared than before.

Data-driven return-to-sport testing combining objective performance metrics, clinical expertise, and professional sports experience to determine true readiness for competition. Our approach goes beyond time-based clearance, focusing on measurable benchmarks to ensure you are physically prepared for the demands of your sport.

Testing includes a comprehensive assessment of strength, power, limb symmetry, movement quality, and sport-specific performance. We identify deficits that may increase injury risk and use objective data to guide decision-making throughout your return-to-play process.

Each assessment is tailored to your injury, sport, and level of competition. You’ll leave with clear results, actionable insights, and a structured plan to safely progress back to full training and competition with confidence.

Advanced running analysis in Eagan and the Twin Cities using treadmill assessment, baseline examination, and innovative motion capture technology to identify and treat common running injuries such as Achilles tendinopathy, patellofemoral pain (runner’s knee), plantar fasciitis, and IT band syndrome. Our sports physical therapy approach focuses on improving running mechanics, reducing injury risk, and optimizing performance for runners of all levels.

We go beyond identifying pain points by analyzing how you move, how you load, and how your mechanics contribute to injury or performance limitations. This includes evaluating cadence, stride mechanics, force distribution, and overall movement efficiency to uncover the root cause of your symptoms.

Based on your analysis, we develop an individualized plan that may include strength training, mobility work, and running-specific progressions. Whether you’re returning from injury or looking to improve performance, our goal is to help you run more efficiently, stay injury-free, and perform at your highest level.

Designed to help athletes in Eagan and the Twin Cities improve strength, speed, power, and movement efficiency.

We offer a complimentary 15–20 minute consultation to determine whether physical therapy is the right fit for you. It can be as simple as an ankle sprain or long-standing low back pain. Whether you’re navigating the longer rehab process of an ACL injury or recovering from a hamstring strain, this is a no-pressure way to feel confident moving forward.
