How can a physical therapist (PT) and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) help you?
A PT/CSCS team can work together in many ways and is an ideal partnership lost at most gyms, “boxes” and many performance centers. A PT can complete very thorough evaluations to determine the cause of injury. Looking not only at where pain may be but adjacent and distant regions, a physical therapist evaluation can identify joint or muscle dysfunctions as they relate to your pain or issue even if the dysfunction isn’t right where your pain indicates.
Working together with your CSCS, the team can adapt any and all training parameters and create programs to allow you a full return to training as timely as is possible and continue your athletic development.
A PT/CSCS team can also complete pre and post season screenings to allow for proper program design, corrective exercises, and manual therapies. This will allow your team to create individualized training program to tailored specifically to your own asymmetries, weaknesses, or other sports specific needs.
