How we approach this at University Physical Medicine
Specific exam to grade the injury and identify the mechanical cause — not just 'stretch and ice'.
Soft-tissue therapy, joint mobilization, and shockwave therapy for chronic tendon cases.
Sport-specific rehab targeting the actual demand of your activity.
Honest milestones for return-to-play so you don't reinjure on the way back.
Individual results may vary. Our providers will recommend a plan based on your evaluation.
Questions patients ask about this
Will I have to stop training?
Not always. Often we modify rather than eliminate. The exam will tell us how much load the injured tissue can handle right now.
