Why should I seek physical therapy

Athletes can be any age, shape, or size. Sports injuries don't discriminate.  Sport injuries can be the result of direct trauma or overuse.  After many hours of your sport, you can develop tendon, ligament, and joint pain.  At Weddington Physical Therapy and Wellness, we are experienced in treating the cause of your pain.  No matter your rank - from beginner to elite athlete - you want effective sports medical care when you are injured.  We believe treatment begins by reducing inflammation and swelling, increasing circulation, relaxing muscles, preventing atrophy, and decreasing pain. As well as education on preventing injuries in the future.

As we age, balance can become more difficult. But you are not alone. It is estimated that 90 million Americans will suffer from some form of dizziness in their lifetime.  Weddington Physical Therapy and Sports Performance is pleased to offer Vestibular Rehabilitation and Balance Therapy.

We offer injured workers customized rehabilitation programs to prepare them for an efficient return to work after a work-related injury. Programs include back and neck safety education, work conditioning, personalized exercise plans, body mechanics assessments, ergonomic assessments and more. 

We want to help you recover after hospitalization. The main goal is to get you what you and your doctor want most - a rapid, successful recovery.  Our physical therapy staff works with your medical team to create an advanced, hands-on plan of care. The rehab services we offer can get you active again safely and quickly.   We can also provide balance, strength, and safety training for ambulatory patients following a stroke. 

Life post-surgery can seem scary. We want to provide a safe, expeditious recovery with you and your surgical team. Our therapists will work to increase your strength and mobility, allowing you to surpass expectations of a quick recovery. Please call and schedule your post-operative rehab prior to your surgery so that we can better serve you following your procedure. Our team has experience with total and partial joint replacements, fusions, fractures, and many other operations.
