Sports Medicine
You are unique, the only individual in the world who can be “you”. Even identical twins possess a few unique characteristics. So it is in the world of kinesiology and fitness. Many active individuals often find themselves in need of some form of physical therapy, either to rehab a torn muscle or following orthopedic surgery. Therefore, personal training is part of physical therapy!

At First Physical Therapy, we have one of the most comprehensive sports concussion management programs in the area. We will carefully manage an athlete’s recovery following a concussion. We are specialty trained in concussion management and have significant experience in the treatment of concussions in athletes of all ages and skill levels. Our concussion management protocol follows top notch standards. A sports concussion is a medical condition that should be taken seriously. This condition most often results from hitting your head on the ground or on a hard object or hitting another player while playing a contact sport. People who experience a concussion often have symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, vomiting, or nausea. Plus, they may have side-effects that affect their behavior, sensations, or brain function.
