What is athletic therapy?

Athletic therapy focuses on preventing, assessing, and treating musculoskeletal injuries. It is suitable for everyone: athletes, expectant parents, active individuals, or anyone undergoing rehabilitation. By combining manual therapy, corrective exercises, and education, athletic therapists help restore mobility, stability, and overall physical performance.

Athletic therapy during pregnancy

The body goes through many changes during pregnancy, which can lead to discomfort, pain, and injuries for the expectant mother.

This may include leg cramps, lower back pain, hip pain, sciatica, pelvic floor issues, pubic symphysis pain, diastasis recti, and neck or shoulder pain.

Athletic therapy helps relieve these issues through manual release techniques and prescribed exercises that strengthen muscles and stabilize the joints.

Building strength and stability helps prepare the body for birth and reduces the risk of postpartum injuries. Our athletic therapist specializes in corrective exercise during pregnancy and postpartum, and can also guide expectant mothers through current and future training programs, sports, and physical activities.

Athletic therapy in the postpartum period

Recovery after childbirth can leave the body with discomfort, aches, and muscle weakness.

Athletic therapy treatments combine manual therapy with tailored exercise prescriptions.

The goal is to:

  • relieve pain such as sacroiliac discomfort, sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, and improve pelvic floor issues
  • assess and reduce abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
  • support healing of scar tissue and adhesions after a C-section
  • create a reconditioning program to help you gradually return to an active lifestyle and resume training
