HOW SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY WORKS AT ADAPT
Evaluation. Your therapist takes your history, tests strength and movement, and asks what your sport demands.
Calm it down. Hands-on care, dry needling or shockwave therapy when they fit, plus exercise you can do without a flare-up.
Build it back. Progressive strength training, with blood flow restriction when heavy loads aren't safe yet, then jumping and conditioning.
Test before you return. Objective strength, jump and sprint testing tells us when you're ready, instead of a date on the calendar.
Stay healthy. When rehab ends, you can keep training with our strength and speed coaches in the same building.
WHO WE WORK WITH
High school and club athletes, college and pro athletes, NFL draft prospects, runners and adult league players. You don't need to be an elite athlete; you just need a goal you want to get back to.

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY FAQ
DO I NEED A REFERRAL?
Usually not to start. In Georgia you can see a physical therapist without a referral for up to 21 days or 8 visits. Some insurance plans still require one, and we'll tell you when we check your benefits.
HOW SOON AFTER AN INJURY SHOULD I START?
As soon as you can. Early, guided movement usually helps recovery. If you can't bear weight, have major swelling or think something is broken, see a doctor first.
CAN I KEEP TRAINING WHILE I REHAB?
Usually, yes. We'll show you what you can keep doing safely and adjust it as you heal.
DOES INSURANCE COVER SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY?
Yes. It's billed like any other physical therapy visit, and we're in network with most major plans. See billing and pricing.
