Prepare for Hunting Season with Physical Therapy

Stay strong. Stay steady. Stay safe.

Hunting season is almost here, and it’s more physically demanding than people think! Climbing tree stands, carrying gear, hiking rough terrain, and dragging your harvest all take serious strength, balance, and stamina.

At Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, we help hunters like you get ready for the season and avoid injuries that can cut it short.

What Makes Hunting So Demanding?

Even if you're an experienced hunter, your body might not be ready for:

  • Long hikes with uneven footing

  • Carrying heavy packs and equipment

  • Pulling back a bow or holding a firearm steady

  • Sitting still for hours in cold, stiff positions

  • Lifting, dragging, or hauling game

These movements stress your back, shoulders, knees, hips, and core—especially if you're not conditioned for them.

How Physical Therapy Can Help

We create a plan based on your goals and the demands of your hunt. Here's how we help:

Build strength – Improve shoulder, core, and leg strength for lifting, hauling, and climbing.
Improve balance & stability – Walk safely over rough ground and stay steady in your stand.
Increase flexibility & mobility – Move easier and reduce your risk of muscle strains.
Prevent injuries – Learn safe movement strategies to avoid back pain, joint issues, and overuse injuries.
Recover from past injuries – Return to hunting safely after surgeries or chronic pain.

Hunt Better. Hurt Less.

Most hunting injuries aren’t caused by animals; they're caused by falls, poor body mechanics, and overexertion.

Don’t wait until after you're hurt to get help. Our team can prepare your body before you head into the woods.
