Sports Rehabilitation

Get back to hiking the Boise Foothills or playing pickleball at Julia Davis Park.

Boise's active residents push their limits year-round—from mountain biking in the summer to skiing at Bogus Basin in winter. Our sports rehab program addresses common Idaho injuries like rotator cuff strains from kayaking or IT band syndrome from trail running.

We begin with a biomechanical assessment using video analysis, particularly helpful for golfers from BanBury or runners training on the Greenbelt. Treatment combines manual therapy with sport-specific exercises, like simulating uneven terrain for hikers. Many patients transition to our injury prevention program to stay active through seasonal changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after an injury should I start therapy?

For acute injuries, we recommend evaluation within 72 hours. Early intervention often prevents compensatory movement patterns that prolong recovery.

Do you work with high school athletes?

Yes, we partner with several Boise-area schools and understand the demands of sports like football at Dona Larsen Park or soccer at the Simplot Sports Complex.
