Physical Therapy for Sports and Orthopedic Injuries
Following an injury, return to full function often takes a team. At Baylor Medicine, our physical therapists work onsite with physicians so patients receive comprehensive care. Our physical therapists have extensive experience in both non-operative and surgical musculoskeletal injuries of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine. In therapy, patients will work to reduce pain/effusion and restore deficits in range of motion, gait, strength, and balance to allow full return to sport/function.

Treatments and Therapies
Baylor Medicine physical therapists are board-certified as orthopedic and sports specialists, assuring patients that they will be cared for by clinicians who excel in their chosen field and have a passion for what they do. We offer the latest treatments and therapeutic advances which include:
Mobilization and manipulation of joints to decrease pain and improve motion.
A neurophysiological evidence-based treatment technique using solid filiform needles (acupuncture needles) for the treatment of muscle pain. Dry needling requires effective manual assessment of the neuromuscular system. Research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor end plates, and facilitates an accelerated return to activity. Physical therapists at Baylor are well trained to utilize dry needling in conjunction with manual physical therapy interventions.
A six-week jump program proven to reduce ACL injuries in females and a must to complete in order to return to sport with confidence.
An anti-gravity treadmill that unweights a user through "differential air pressure,” a technology developed by NASA. It is used for rehabilitating the lower extremity following injury or surgery, aerobic conditioning, weight control, gait training for neurological conditions and strengthening and conditioning the elderly.
Devices used to help assist with range of motion following surgery.
A suspension trainer that utilizes one’s own body weight to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
This remarkable procedure allows us to detect and treat areas of “scar tissue” or adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments that can reduce our range of motion and cause pain.
In the healing process, our body attempts to repair those areas by creating “scar tissue,” much like the scar that forms on the skin when you have scraped or banged your knee. Learn more
