SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY AT URBANA SPORT AND SPINE

Sports Physical Therapy is our passion.  Urbana is a well known sports community and we are excited to be in our newest location.  Our Urbana clinic is designed for the Athlete in all of us, focused on taking the athlete from clinic to competition under the sports physical therapists’ watchful eye.  We can do this due to the clinic setup; the clinic is in the front of the office and turf in the back of the office!  In the large warehouse area, the turf dominates but is specifically designed for sports physical therapy with rubber hardcourt for tennis, serving, basketball players to shoot hoops, an Olympic lifting platform for training and analysis of form, golf swing net for our SwingMax participants and soccer goal for our patients who want to get back to the pitch ASAP.  We can start the baseball players’ Throwing Program, work on track athletes starts, etc. The limits are endless!  You gotta see it to appreciate. Urbana Sport and Spine is not only Sports Physical Therapy for Athletes.   The same skills our therapists use to rehabilitate or optimize an athlete’s performance can be customized to get you back to your daily game!
