We believe that pain and injury should not stop you from living your life.  Whether it is knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain, or something else, there is hope for change.  We also believe that the pain you are feeling is there because there has been some overloading or stressing on your body.  The passion in our physical therapy work comes from finding the reasons for this overloading, helping you correct the issue, and then releasing you with more knowledge and awareness of your body so you can prevent injuries in the future.                                                                                             Read more...

We practice the art and science of physical therapy.  It is an art, because every person is different and every injury reacts differently to treatments.  There is no “one way” to treat any given injury.  Physical therapy is also a science, because we base all our decisions for treatment on the current research and literature.  There is a scientific reason for every exercise we prescribe and every manual treatment we perform.

Our treatment approach in physical therapy is centered on your goals.  Every treatment is composed only of one-on-one care by a physical therapist.  We focus first on decreasing pain and controlling inflammation.  Once that acute pain has decreased, we focus on addressing the primary contributing factors to your injury.  These are often due to issues of tightness or weakness throughout the body.  For example, patellofemoral pain (knee pain in the front of the knee, around the knee cap) is often the result of one or several of the following contributing factors: arch instability, tight IT band, weak hip abductors and external rotators and quadriceps weakness.  Our focus in physical therapy is not simply on resolving the pain, which is the symptom, but on resolving the contributing factors that caused the symptom in the first place.  Come visit our physical therapy clinic in Anaheim, CA. We are located in the heart of Orange County.

Athlete's aren't born, they are developed.  Do you have a plan for developing as an athlete?  Here at Change Sports Physical Therapy Institue we take a methodical approach to developing you as an athlete.  Many strength and conditioning centers simply focus on getting athletes stronger or faster, but don't take time to look into the current condition of the athlete.  So what are the building blocks for developing a great athlete?  Read more about athlete development...

The starting point for sports training in athletes is the Functional Movement Screen.  Do you know where your weakest link is in your body?  In the same way that a building can only be built as high as the foundation allows it, so is the potential you can reach as an athlete dependant on your functional movement.  Injuries that keep you out of games are often the result of your body's compensation for poor movement performance.  Read more about the Functional Movement Screen.

So you are done with physical therapy and heading back to your sport.   Are you ready to jump back into competition?  Our post-therapy program is designed to get you back in the game.  We get you ready for competition by cleaning up your movement patterns and working on agility, power, return to running, and more.  This is all done with the supervision of a sports physical therapist to ensure safety as you return from your injury.

Training your movement and strength is not all you need to develop as an athlete.  Get access to our network of professionals who can help you fully develop as an athlete.  Athletes need to train their mind, maintain soft tissue health, use what they eat to their benefit and improve their sport specific skills.  Find out more about our network of professionals.
