What is sports therapy?
Sports therapy is a specialized form of rehabilitation and treatment focused on preventing injuries, improving movement, reducing pain, and helping individuals recover from physical activity-related injuries. Sports therapy can also improve flexibility, strength, balance, and athletic performance for people of all activity levels.
No. Sports therapy is beneficial for athletes, active adults, weekend warriors, and even individuals recovering from everyday injuries or chronic pain. Anyone experiencing movement limitations, muscle tightness, joint pain, or physical strain may benefit from sports therapy.

- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Runner’s knee

“I am totally satisfied with the services that I have received from Kinetic Physical Therapy. My therapist Denise has been very essential to my improvement. Her positive attitude and sense of humor always puts me at ease. I know I will continue to heal and that I am in very good hands.“

“The doctors and staff are exceptional. In addition to regular strengthening, I was able to have aquatic therapy which I found very helpful. Dr. LaTanis Dickens took her time to determine what I needed for my rheumatoid arthritis and worked on those areas at each session. I highly recommend this business.“
~Mildred S.
“Kinetic has been an incredible source of care and recovery following injury and postpartum. The customer service is consistent from the from desk to providers. My care has always felt personal and intentional. I’ve also enjoyed the cryo service or workout recovery. 10 out 10 recommend!“

“Simone is amazing! My stress level and tension went from an 8 to 0 during my massage. An hour of tranquility that I most certainly recommend and will schedule again. Thank you, Simone!“

“My back went out in the worst way in August of this year and all the doctors wanted to do was pass out prescriptions. I wanted more, a quality of life. I didn’t want to be on medication to get through the day. So, I was recommended to this facility by my primary. I am so very glad he did. This facility is AWESOME, the moment you walk in the door they make you feel like you are family and the compassion and concern they have for your situation, what ever that may be is off the charts. The smile and greeting you get from the receptionists right down to the physical therapists is amazing. I looked forward everyday going to my appointments, because I knew I would come out of my session feeling great. I called my therapist Barbara, my angel therapist. I loved working with her, she pushed me even when I didn’t think I could and was there for me every step of the way. I just can’t say enough about this facility. I wish more places and doctors would have the compassion and concern for their patients as this place does. Just AMAZING!!!“

“I recommend this professional business because of that–it is professional in every way. I never have to wait to be seen, the facility is very clean, I am given sanitized equipment to work on, everyone is masked up for protection, my PT gives me all of his undivided attention, and as soon as we go into the therapy area, focusing in on what needs to be accomplished in that session is ordered and executed! On Monday, Zach, my PT, hit the headquarter area causing the most pain, I think. With his expertise of physical therapy being well conversed, I understood what needed to be done. We both expected improvement out of that session, and got I it! My mobility was even noticeable to my husband and a couple of coworkers! I am Confident that I will reach my mobility goals with Kinetic Physical Therapy & Wellness. I hope if you need physical therapy, you would give your body this advantage; you will be so happy you did.“
