The Sports & Ortho difference

Where it hurts is rarely where it started.

At Sports & Ortho, we practice Applied Functional Science®, a movement-based approach to physical therapy developed by the Gray Institute. It looks at the body as an integrated system and focuses on how all the parts work together to create efficient, pain-free movement.

Rather than treating a single muscle or joint in isolation, AFS recognizes that the body functions as a connected kinetic chain. Pain in one area is often the result of a limitation or dysfunction somewhere else. By identifying and addressing the true source of the problem, we help patients recover more completely and prevent the next injury.
