Sports performance therapy focuses on enhancing the athletic abilities of individuals, from amateur to professional athletes. Sports performance therapists work with athletes to help them improve their performance by developing personalized training plans, addressing muscular imbalances, and preventing and treating injuries.

They use a variety of techniques including manual therapy, corrective exercise, and sports-specific training to help athletes achieve their goals and perform at their best. Overall, sports performance therapy is aimed at optimizing an athlete’s physical abilities and helping them reach their full potential.
