Dr. Angela is fantastic! I came to her suffering from back pain which was keeping off my bike, and affecting my daily life. After 6 sessions, my pain is gone, and I’m feeling stronger and more balanced in my body. She was fantastic in adapting and scaling the workouts to my needs, first focusing on reducing pain, then building strength to keep it away. Can’t recommend her enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sports physical therapy at Odyssey Performance PT.

Can I keep training while recovering from an injury?

In most cases, yes. We help you modify your training so you can stay active while your body heals, rather than stopping everything and losing progress.

How is sports physical therapy different from regular PT?

Sports physical therapy focuses on returning you to the specific demands of your sport or activity. We assess movement patterns, build sport-specific progressions, and help you train smarter to reduce setbacks.

How long does recovery typically take?

It depends on your injury, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. We build a clear plan during your first visit and adjust based on your progress, so you always know what to expect.

Do you work with people who aren't competitive athletes?

Absolutely. Most of our clients are active adults who run, lift, climb, cycle, or stay active for health and enjoyment. You don't need to be an elite athlete to benefit from sports PT.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. If you have recent imaging or notes from other providers, bring those along, but they're not required to get started.
