Fife Therapy
Return-to-Sport Testing
Get Back In the Game
Athletes who have injured themselves or overworked certain muscles or joints need specific care and regiments to get their bodies back into athletic shape. Sports Medicine Physical Therapy can restore function, optimize performance, decrease pain, and restore strength and flexibility.
Fife Therapy specializes in the rehabilitation of recreational and competitive athletes. We provide a comprehensive evaluation and various treatment options for orthopedic and sports-related injuries.
Whether injured during a race, practice, or a game, our treatments are designed to return you to the sport you love as quickly as possible following injury. In addition, we work with you to help you not only recover from your injury but also provide you the tools necessary to decrease the likelihood of re-injury.
Savannah ACL
Savannah ACL is a collaborative effort from some of the top sports medicine physicians in the area – Dr Mark Spivey, Dr Thomas Alexander, Dr Joey Boaen and Dr Trey Oschner. The goal is education on prevention in particular identifying athletes at risk, monitoring these athletes through their career as they seek college scholarships and if surgical intervention is required, offering them the best options the region has to offer.
The focus of the program is force plate testing, bio mechanical analysis and unpredictable high load performance- it is all data driven. If surgery is required, ‘return to sport’ will only be cleared if the advanced testing is completed within our required limits and passed. Keep your eyes open for our blog and the info we will be posting on it. We really do want to see a dramatic decrease of these injuries in the Low Country.
