One of the keys to being your best and enjoying yourself in any sport is staying healthy. Injury will set your training back, and keep you from doing the things you love. When you get injured, Corpore Sano is here to help you recover quickly and return to your best. We want to help you train better and ultimately reach your optimum level of performance. Our range of sports physical therapy services includes:
Injury Prevention and Treatment
A rehabilitation specialist who knows your sport is invaluable. A successful return to sport-specific training requires special attention to specific skills, flexibility and strength. Erik & Kari’s background in competition, coaching, and rehabilitation make them the ideal physical therapists for athletes.
Bicycle Retrofit
A bicycle retrofit will help in quickly remedying the bicycle-related pain you are experiencing, while allowing you to continue training. Our process looks at your musculoskeletal strengths and weaknesses, bicycling skills (such as pedaling), current position on your bicycle, and your individual cycling goals.
Changes may be made to your saddle, handlebar and cleat positions, and recommendations will be made if any parts purchases are necessary. You will also be given exercises to help fix muscle imbalances related to your injury or weakness.
Custom Bike Sizing
Our physical therapy team are experts in musculoskeletal issues. We use a Calfee Sizer Cycle to help in accurately determining the best possible sizing for your ability, limitations and goals. Combined with the expertise of Erik Moen, the Sizer allows us to quickly and accurately adjust seat tube angle, seat tube length, top tube length, head tube angle, and head tube length to get you the perfect fit.
Gait Analysis
The term ‘gait’ refers to how you move your limbs, and can apply to walking, running, or any other sport-related activity. Your gait can affect your body in many different ways and can be the cause of injuries and chronic pain issues. Similarly, problems in your body may lead to changes in your gait which can effect your performance. Our analysis of your gait will begin with a comprehensive examination of your entire body to identify any abnormalities that may contribute to movement discrepancies. We then focus on your specific movement patterns and examine which biomechanical issues may be contributing to your dysfunction, pain, or lack of performance. This may include video-analysis for your review. Recommendations will then be made for fine-tuning the details of your gait so that you can function at your optimal level.
Sport-Specific Motion Analysis
Nearly any athlete can greatly benefit from motion analysis – baseball, softball and football players, tennis players, golf and runners. Our physical therapists have a great appreciation for the intricacies of coordinated athletic movement that is imperative for all sports. They have studied extensively the dynamics of athletic movement. Using cameras, video, and data collected through a special apparatus, we are able to review your sport-specific movements and make recommendations for improving your technique, as well as exercises geared towards eliminating and preventing injuries.
Custom Footbeds
Custom footbeds are a great alternative to orthotics, and can provide light support to help correct foot placement and alleviate pain. Corpore Sano can make custom footbeds for your cycling, running, or walking shoes. Give us a call or email to enquire about this service. Our footbeds are heat-molded to your feet with the Custom System by Sidas.
