Our Approach to Athlete Recovery

What to Expect:

A Comprehensive Approach to Athlete Recovery

Injuries don’t just affect your body; they challenge your mental resilience and threaten your ability to achieve your goals. Many athletes face the pressure to compete while injured or receive intermittent, generalized treatments that fail to address the root causes of their pain. Over time, these incomplete recovery strategies can lead to recurring injuries, shortened careers, and missed opportunities to fulfill your optimal potential.

Too often, athletic injury evaluations are performed at tournament/event sites under time constraints, with limited resources and a lack of individualized care. Combined with extensive travel and interactions with various healthcare providers, this approach compromises the continuity of care needed for lasting recovery and optimal performance. While these quick treatments may provide temporary relief, they often fail to deliver rapid pain reduction or prevent future injuries effectively.

At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we address these gaps with a holistic, highly individualized approach. We provide continuity of care that follows you throughout your season, ensuring that every aspect of your recovery and performance is supported. Our model doesn’t just focus on treating the injury but on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to it. This comprehensive approach empowers you to recover fully, perform at your best, and achieve a longer, healthier athletic career.

Evidence suggests injury risk is multifactorial. The traditional approach of treating your injured body part alone does not address the complex factors involved in creating the injury and limiting recovery. At Back 2 Normal, we provide:

How We Are Different:

Comprehensive Care for Athletes

At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we recognize that every athlete is unique, and so is their path to recovery and peak performance. Our innovative model goes beyond traditional approaches by conducting a comprehensive assessment to uncover the true causes of pain, dysfunction, and performance limitations. Here’s how we evaluate and treat athletes to optimize recovery and reduce the risk of future injuries:

Whole-Body Orthopedic Assessment

We examine your whole-body and musculoskeletal system to pinpoint the root causes of pain or injury and determine how it may be limiting your performance or recovery.

Our Injury Expertise

Our team has extensive experience and specializes in addressing the unique demands of athletic injuries, recognizing that each injury presents distinct challenges based on the sport, position, and level of play. Whether it’s the strain of repetitive motions, the toll of contact sports, or the pressures of returning to peak performance, our team is here to guide you through every step of recovery.

Our injury expertise includes:

Spine Injuries

Athletes often experience sprains, strains, sciatica, and disc herniations from activities that demand dynamic movement, high impact, or awkward positions. These injuries can severely limit mobility, power, and overall performance, requiring expert care to restore function and prevent recurrence.

Our Championship Packages: Tailored Membership Opportunities for Athletes

At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we understand the demands of athletic performance and the importance of consistent, expert care. The physical demands of sports—long practices, competitions, and travel—place tremendous stress on your body. Over time, repetitive strain can lead to tightness, stiffness, and pain, which are often early warning signs of injury. Athletes and coaches frequently dismiss these signals, viewing them as “just part of the game.”

That’s why we offer customized Championship Packages through an exclusive membership program designed to provide athletes with priority access to Lisa Chase and her highly skilled team of experts. This program ensures personalized, consistent care to maximize recovery, prevent injuries, and optimize performance year-round.

Each tier offers distinct benefits and includes physical therapy sessions, product and partnership discounts, and a select number of complementary whole-body healing perks, such as massage, assisted stretching, blood flow restriction training, Pilates, and recovery and wellness technologies, allowing you to choose the level of care that best supports your goals.
