OUR MISSION

We strive to push beyond the foundations of traditional physical therapy in order to adequately prepare you for return to activity. Too often athletes undergo a basic rehabilitation program, only to risk re-injury after an abrupt release back to sport without appropriate preparation for the imposed physical demands. Our goal is to provide functional rehabilitation with an emphasis on manual therapy, corrective exercise, performance-based sport-specific exercise and postural re-alignment, in order to expedite your return to activity. At Alkemē Sports RX Sports RX, we bridge the gap between traditional physical therapy and true readiness for return to sport by blending rehabilitation techniques with performance training.
