Injury Prevention Strategies:
The Role of Physical Therapy in Athletic Resilience
Stay Off The Sidelines With Physical Therapy For Sports Resilience
Many top athletes consider injury prevention their secret weapon to staying off the dreaded “Injured Reserve” list. To be a top athlete, you need to be more than physically and mentally strong–you need to be prepared. Our team at Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropractic can be your secret weapon by providing year-round preparation through physical therapy for sports resilience and injury prevention.

Research shows that implementing sports injury prevention programs can significantly reduce the frequency of muscle strains, knee injuries, and ankle injuries in athletes.
