Importance of Sports Rehabilitation

Injuries can both be physically and mentally devastating. For athletes, an injury means time away from the sport they love and the fear of losing their competitive edge. Sports rehabilitation is designed to speed up recovery and prevent future injuries by addressing weaknesses and imbalances.

The goal of sports rehabilitation is to:

  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Restore range of motion and flexibility
  • Build strength in the affected area
  • Improve overall athletic performance
  • Prevent re-injury and future complications

Our sports rehabilitation plans are personalized to meet your needs, whether you are dealing with an injury, recovering from surgery, or looking to enhance your athletic abilities.

Dr. Mike Makher
A Specialist in Complex Conditions

Dr. Makher is well-versed in addressing many conditions beyond typical sports injuries. He has worked with countless individuals suffering from hypermobility spectrum syndromes, connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Marfan Syndrome, and athletic/sports-based rehab due to injuries from sports such as soccer, basketball, baseball, football, lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, golf, climbing, etc. These conditions present unique challenges for athletes, often requiring specialized treatment plans beyond traditional rehabilitation methods.

For people living with these conditions, we offer a holistic approach to rehabilitation that focuses on:

Pain Management
Chronic conditions often lead to persistent pain, which can hinder performance and recovery. Our rehabilitation programs include pain management strategies that help relieve discomfort while maintaining mobility.

Joint Stabilization
Many connective tissue disorders cause joint instability, which increases the risk of injury during physical activity. Our treatment plans emphasize joint stability through targeted exercises and strength training.

Customized training
Athletes with chronic conditions often need highly individualized training routines to avoid overexertion while improving strength and agility. Each rehabilitation plan is personalized to meet the needs of our clients, ensuring they progress safely and effectively.

Specialized Rehabilitation for Athletes

Dr. Makher has a deep understanding of the physical demands athletes face. Whether you are a runner, cyclist, swimmer, or involved in a high-impact sport like football or basketball, your body endures immense stress. Injuries are common and often require more than just rest to recover fully.

We work closely with you to create a rehabilitation plan tailored to your sport. This includes:

    We begin with a thorough evaluation of your injury, range of motion, muscle strength, and overall physical condition. Understanding where you are in your recovery process is key to designing an effective rehabilitation program.
  • Goal-setting for Performance
    Whether you are aiming to return to your sport, prevent future injuries, or enhance your athletic capabilities, we can help you set realistic goals. These goals become the foundation of your rehabilitation plan.
  • Sport-specific Exercises
    Every sport places different demands on the body. We incorporate exercises that mimic the movements of your sport, helping you strengthen the muscles and joints that are most important for your performance.
  • Injury Prevention Techniques
    In addition to rehabilitation, we focus on injury prevention to ensure you stay strong and healthy long after your recovery. This includes training on proper techniques, strengthening weak areas, and improving overall balance and coordination.
