Our Approach to Sports Rehabilitation

At Spineck Physical Therapy in East Brunswick, we understand that athletes need specialized care. Our approach includes:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We assess not just the injury, but your entire movement pattern. This helps identify underlying issues that may have contributed to your injury.

2. Sport-Specific Treatment

Your rehabilitation plan considers the specific demands of your sport. A runner needs different treatment than a tennis player, even for similar injuries.

3. Progressive Return-to-Sport Protocol

We don't just get you pain-free—we prepare you to return to your sport safely and confidently.

4. Injury Prevention Education

Learn techniques and exercises to reduce your risk of future injuries.
