Sports Injuries

Let’s Get Moving on Your Recovery

Unfortunately, injuries are often a standard part of having an active lifestyle. These injuries can sideline athletes for weeks or months, keeping them from staying healthy and active.

That’s why Bethesda Physiocare® offers sports injury physical therapy for patients needing help rehabilitating their past or recent pain or injury. Our team has worked with world-class athletes, including professional sports teams and special forces in the US military. In fact, some of the NFL teams using dry needling today have been trained by Dr. Dommerholt and our Bethesda physical therapist staff!

Our clinic is different; we won’t be providing you the same cookie-cutter approach of 3-5 exercises you could have just as easily found on YouTube. We have state-of-the-art technology, some of which can only be found in training facilities for professional sports teams! By using devices such as the Proteus, Reax, Trazer, and OxeFit, we can perform specific biomechanical measurements, including force, acceleration, and velocity, and tests to develop the optimal sports injury physical therapy plan for your injury.

If you suffer from any sports-related injury, please call our physical therapy clinic in Bethesda at (301) 656-5613 to get the relief you need!

The Bethesda Physiocare Difference

Unlike other PT clinics in the greater Washington, D.C. area, our clinic includes unique and state-of-the-art assessment tools to help us monitor your sports injury physical therapy and improvement. No one goes above and beyond like us as we measure your speed, acceleration, power, and force, which are key aspects of your athletic (and non-athletic) performance.

Equipment that we use includes:

- The Proteus - track your physical rehabilitation with this motion-tracking technology that will allow us to measure force, acceleration, velocity, and motion in true 3-dimensional patterns and throughout the entire range of motion.
  - Example: Many of the top professional baseball players use the Proteus because they are able to strengthen their shoulder in their natural throwing motion, leading to increases in speed, power, and performance.
- The Reax Boxe - improve your reactivity, speed, cognitive function, and cardiovascular capabilities with this light-based station.
- The OxeFit XS1 - track your trunk, upper and lower extremity strength, and cardio with the OxeFit all-in-one gym featuring electromagnetic resistance, classes, and feedback on your progress.
- Trazer - has six progressive levels of specialized, interactive testing and rehabilitation for Concussion, Knee, Ankle, Hip, Balance, and Vestibular Rehabilitation with an extraordinarily low perceived exertion rate. It is the only technology of its kind designed to improve movement and cognitive performance with multiple exergaming options making therapy fun.

Once we have completed the assessment using our state-of-the-art equipment and methods, we will set up a preventative or training program.

If you or your physical therapist would like to include our other services in your sports injury physical therapy in Bethesda, we can incorporate elements of our manual therapy, exergaming, dry needling, blood flow restriction training, and more!

With our experienced and attentive staff, you can trust us to help you move and feel better than ever with your personalized sports injury physical therapy plan.
