Capital Region Physical Therapy is excited to provide a training program developed specifically for junior high and high school student-athletes. This pre-season training program is designed to help the student-athletes work on specific “high risk” areas to help him or her have a successful sports season while minimizing the chances of injury.

 

Many preseason training programs are lacking in sport-specific exercise and development. Often, student-athletes are performing general exercises that do not focus on problem areas or high-risk impairments that may lead to injury. Sports medicine professionals agree that high school athletes are underprepared to participate in their respective sports. Less than 45% of all high schools have access to athletic training services during pre-season practice and games.

FACT: Over 100,000 athletes will suffer an ACL sprain this year.

FACT: Approximately 50% of all ACL tears are completely preventable with proper training.

​

Capital Region Physical Therapy has developed a program to help student-athletes properly prepare for their sports season to help the athlete perform better and prevent the possibility of injury while participating in high-intensity sports. 

 

Program elements include:

 

• A 60-minute initial musculoskeletal assessment by a physical therapist focusing on problem areas specific to the athlete.

• Individual training sessions with a physical therapist. Training sessions will focus on the specific problem areas that are identified in the musculoskeletal assessment.

• Training will focus on strength, mobility, flexibility, balance and proprioception, and plyometrics.

• A post-program assessment report highlighting the high-risk problem areas identified in the pre-program evaluation.

• Development of a home program to be utilized during the season to maintain gains that are made during the training program.

 

 

Guess what? We make it affordable, too:

 

 

 

• 60-minute initial assessment = $80.00

• 30 + 20 minute cross training (30 minutes one-on-one with a PT, and 20 minutes independent guided cardio) = $50.00
