Sports Injury Rehab
Sports injury rehab treats injuries from sports and exercise, including sprains, strains, tendon problems, ACL tears and running injuries, and helps you return to your sport. East Mountain Physical Therapy provides sports physical therapy for athletes of every age in Cedar Crest, Edgewood, Tijeras and Moriarty, one-on-one.

From youth sports to weekend warriors
Young athletes need a plan that respects growth and a season; adults who run, hike or lift need one that fits work and family. Our therapists have experience across a wide range of settings and ages, which helps both. Athletes who need a longer plan can ask about strengthening on our on-site equipment.
How we know you are ready to go back
Pain and swelling settled
You move without guarding.
Strength and motion close to the other side
We test the injured side against the healthy one.
Sport-specific work
Running, cutting, jumping or throwing, added a step at a time.
Head injuries, surgery and prevention
A blow to the head needs a doctor first. If your injury needed surgery, start at post-surgical rehab. We also teach the habits that keep the injury from coming back.
