Sports injury rehab is physical therapy that accounts for the athlete's injury, current capacity, position, training load, and competition demands. It can combine clinical assessment, progressive loading, strength and movement work, sport exposure, and objective testing when a measure can clarify the next decision.

WHAT VALEN TREATS

INJURIES VALEN REHAB AND PERFORMANCE SPECIALIZES IN

From youth athletes to adults, Valen treats the injuries that keep athletes off the field, court, course, or gym.

Shoulder Injuries

Rotator cuff, labral, instability, and workload-related concerns in throwing, overhead, contact, and strength athletes.

Knee Injuries

ACL, meniscus, patellofemoral, and ligament concerns that may require strength, power, movement, and sport-exposure progression.

Hip & Groin Pain

Hip impingement (FAI), labral tears, adductor strains, and hip flexor issues that affect rotation, stride, and power generation across sports.

Lower Back Pain

Lumbar strains, disc issues, SI joint dysfunction, and movement-related pain common in rotational and high-load athletes. Valen keeps athletes training while they recover.

Ankle & Foot Injuries

Ankle sprains, Achilles or plantar symptoms, and running-related concerns managed with appropriate loading and return-to-run exposure.

Muscle Strains & Overuse

Hamstring, quadriceps, calf, and other soft-tissue concerns managed with progressive loading and sport-specific exposure.

THE APPROACH

MEASURED. SPORT-SPECIFIC.

01

Objective Assessment

Valen uses clinical assessment and tools such as VALD ForceDecks or VALD DynaMo when they can answer a useful question.

02

Sport-Specific Programming

Programs are built around the demands of the sport, position, and goals. Exercises have a purpose tied to returning to competition.

03

Return to Performance

Readiness decisions consider symptoms, capacity, sport exposure, medical coordination, and selected measures. Performance training can continue the process after rehab.
