Get Back in the Game, Stronger, Safer, and Ready to Compete

Whether it’s a Friday night game, a weekend league, or an after-school practice, sports are a big part of your life. But sprains, strains, overuse injuries, and unexpected setbacks can put you on the sidelines.

At Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, we help high school and recreational athletes recover quickly, build resilience, and get back to the sports they love, with the tools to stay healthy all season long.

How Our Sports Therapy Program Helps

1. Targeted Injury Assessment & Rehabilitation

We identify what’s really causing the pain—not just where it hurts—and develop a clear recovery plan so you can return to your sport with confidence.

2. Performance Optimization

Through sport-specific strength, mobility, and technique training, we help you perform at your peak while protecting your body from unnecessary strain.

3. Injury Prevention for a Full Season

Customized warm-ups, conditioning plans, and movement screenings reduce the chance of repeat injuries—keeping you in the game instead of on the bench.

4. Return-to-Sport Programming

From ACL rehab to ankle sprains, our structured approach makes sure you’re ready before you step back onto the field, court, or track.

3. Concussion Baseline Testing and Injury Care

Recovering from a concussion takes more than rest; it requires expert care and a clear plan to safely return to the game.

At Advanced Physical Therapy, our concussion management program combines cutting-edge baseline testing with step-by-step recovery protocols to ensure athletes return only when they're truly ready.

Our concussion care approach includes:

  • Baseline Testing:
    We utilize industry-standard cognitive and balance assessments prior to the start of the season. This provides a personalized snapshot of an athlete’s brain function, helping guide recovery in the event of a concussion.

  • Symptom Management and Recovery Monitoring:
    From headaches and dizziness to focus and sleep issues, we track every symptom and monitor progress using evidence-based guidelines for safe recovery.

  • Graduated Return-to-Play Protocols:
    Athletes progress through a staged return-to-activity program, ensuring they meet cognitive and physical benchmarks before advancing to the next level of activity.

  • Coordination with Coaches and Providers:
    We work closely with athletic trainers, physicians, and school staff to keep everyone informed and aligned with the athlete’s recovery plan.

Why Comprehensive Concussion Care Matters:

  • Prevents premature return to sport

  • Supports brain health and long-term wellness

  • Reduces the risk of prolonged or repeated injuries

  • Restores confidence in athletes and their families

We’re committed to protecting the brain as much as the body because a full recovery means returning to play safely, confidently, and with care.

Programs for Concussion baseline testing and care are available in Appleton, WI (Appleton East, Appleton North, Appleton West, Champion Center), Green Bay, WI (Green Bay East, Synergy), Oshkosh, WI, and Waupaca, WI.
