Salinas Physical Therapy / Sports Medicine

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY 

Salinas Physical Therapy / Sports Medicine is an individually owned private practice that has been serving the Orange County community since 2004. We specialize in the evaluation and treatment of sports injuries, comprehensive spine care, post-surgical rehabilitation and performance training. Our approaches are deeply rooted in science and our team of experts will perform a thorough evaluation, develop a plan, and guide you to maximize your genetic potential. 

We often use video motion capture technology in our assessments to analyze your movement to look for potential injury risk factors. Pitching mechanics, golf swings, and running can all be analyzed to identify faulty movement patterns.  

We use the same training methods professional athletes use to help you recover safely. This method is called “Periodization” which we have adapted to rehabilitation. Periodization training breaks training programs into phases. We structure the periods to mimic the phases of healing so that we allow your injured tissue to heal and remodel. Safe return to sport takes careful planning. What sets us apart is that after the injury heals and traditional therapy ends, we bridge the gap between rehab and performance to you back in the game safely. 

PERFORMANCE TRAINING

Our training programs are developed for serious athletes to help guide the proper forms of exercise to maximize their athletic potential. They are based on the most current performance enhancement information gathered from the scientific literature. Our programs intend to prepare athletes for competition and help prevent injuries.

SPARQ Baseball Specific Testing

Our baseball performance training program has been uniquely designed to address the specific needs of the overhead throwing athlete and sport. We use the SPARQ rating system which is designed to measure sport-specific athleticism. SPARQ is an acronym for speed, power, agility, reaction, and quickness. The results of the test will tell us how you rank among your peers and help us design a specific program to address your deficiencies. 

We use the principles of periodization which is the most widely used training among elite athletes. It involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period. Conditioning programs can use periodization to break up the training program into the off-season, preseason, in season, and the postseason. Using this method, a competitive athlete can peak physical performance at a particular point in time.

Results aren’t guaranteed- they are earned. Nothing is accomplished without making a commitment.
