Sports Injury Physical Therapy
Athletes don’t just need to heal — they need to come back stronger than before the injury. At Forward Physical Therapy, we combine 1-on-1 care with our proprietary Return+ testing platform to deliver sports rehabilitation that’s measured, progressive, and built for performance.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
- ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus injuries
- Rotator cuff tears and shoulder instability
- Ankle sprains and chronic instability
- Muscle strains (hamstring, quad, calf, hip flexor)
- Stress fractures and overuse injuries
- Concussions and head injuries
- Throwing injuries (shoulder and elbow)
- Running injuries (IT band, shin splints, plantar fasciitis)
Return+ Testing
Our proprietary Return+ platform tracks your recovery with objective data:
- Limb symmetry index (quad, hamstring, hip strength)
- Hop testing battery (single, triple, crossover, timed)
- Validated outcome measures (IKDC, ACL-RSI, KOOS, HOOS, ASES)
- Functional performance testing and aerobic capacity
- Automated goal tracking bridged directly into your plan of care
You don’t get “cleared” here. You earn your return with data.
Youth to Professional
We treat athletes at every level — high school, club, college, recreational, and professional. The standard doesn’t change based on the level of play.
No Referral Needed
Wisconsin’s Direct Access law means you can start PT without a referral.
The Forward PT Standard
Every session at Forward Physical Therapy is 1-on-1 with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No aides, no double-booking, no exceptions. We combine evidence-based rehabilitation with our proprietary Return+ testing platform to deliver measurable outcomes — not just subjective notes.
