Many professional athletes, some amateur and recreational athletes utilize private physical therapists as part of their training and injury prevention regimen. Private or concierge physical therapists offer a personalized approach to injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. Here are some reasons why athletes might choose to work with private physical therapists:

1. Individualized Care: Private physical therapists can provide one-on-one attention, tailoring their treatment plans to the specific needs and goals of the athlete. This personalized approach can be especially beneficial for athletes with unique requirements or injuries.

2. Injury Prevention: Athletes often seek the guidance of private physical therapists to develop customized injury prevention programs. These programs can help identify and address weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injuries.

3. Rehabilitation: Athletes recovering from injuries may work with private physical therapists to facilitate their rehabilitation. These therapists can design rehabilitation plans that focus on a swift and safe return to sport. We only hire doctors of physical therapy (DPTs) and all of our PTs are sports certified or sports specialized.

4. Performance Enhancement: Some athletes work with private physical therapists to optimize their athletic performance. These therapists can assess an athlete's movement patterns, identify areas for improvement, and develop exercises and strategies to enhance performance.

5. Flexibility and Convenience: Private physical therapists can often offer more flexible scheduling and treatment locations, making it easier for athletes to fit therapy into their busy training schedules.

6. Privacy: High-profile athletes may prefer private physical therapy sessions to maintain their privacy and confidentiality, away from the public eye. Our DPTs come to your home, so you will utmost privacy for you or your loved one!

7. Specialized Expertise: Some private physical therapists specialize in working with specific sports or types of athletes, providing expertise tailored to the unique demands of those activities.

It's important to note that while many athletes do use concierge physical therapists, they may also work in collaboration with team sports medicine staff, including team physical therapists and athletic trainers. This collaborative approach can provide athletes with comprehensive care that addresses their physical needs from multiple angles. We can help coordinate care with your other team members at high school, university, or with your professional team.
