A regimen of sports physical therapy can help injured athletes in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, Florida, return to the field of play feeling healthy and reinvigorated. At Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group, Board-certified physicians Dr. Daniel Murphy and Dr. Arnold Ramirez work closely with our experienced physical therapists to restore wellbeing in all types of athletes – from high school football players and avid runners to tennis club champions. Our patients can feel confident that our professionals possess the expertise necessary to help them recover from sports injuries as quickly as possible. In fact, Dr. Murphy serves as a team physician for the New York Yankees and an orthopedic surgeon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Dr. Ramirez serves as the Head Team Physician for the Buccaneers.
In collaboration with Dr. Murphy and Dr. Ramirez, our physical therapists help athletes maximize range of motion, increase strength, and reduce discomfort following several types of musculoskeletal injuries, including but not limited to:
- ACL tears
- Meniscus tears
- Rotator cuff tears
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendon injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
Depending on the extent of injury and the patient’s lifestyle, sports physical therapy can be prescribed for rehabilitation purposes following a procedure, or may be used to delay, and perhaps avoid, the need for surgery. Physical therapy programs at Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group are tailored to address each patient’s unique needs, helping them return to their active lifestyles sooner rather than later.
