PHYSICAL THERAPY

Get back in the game.

Having a front-row seat doesn’t compensate for being sidelined. Mettler’s licensed physical therapists will help you rehab after an injury, regain full strength, and restore mobility. We use a functional approach, hands-on treatment, and state-of-the-art equipment to prepare you for your specific work or competition environment. Mettler Athletic focuses on whole-body conditioning so you can get better and stay better.

Put Our Expertise in Your Corner
Not only are Mettler’s therapists highly experienced—they’re constantly educating themselves on the newest sports injury research and therapy techniques. Our team knows every stage of the rehab process and we’re ready to meet your needs. Whether you’re on a court or a field, a weekend warrior or a professional, we’re ready to fit our treatment to your sport and your level of intensity.

Technology For Results
Specialized manual therapy. Applied functional biomechanics. It sounds technical—the end goal is getting you back on your feet. We don’t stop at merely diagnosing your symptoms. We also work to speed your recovery, prevent further injury, and get you back to game readiness, all while communicating with your regular doctor. It’s a challenge, but we’re up to it. Are you?

Commonly Treated Injuries
Physical therapy treatments, especially MRT®, can benefit anyone who has a connective tissue problem, such as those due to surgeries, scars, immobilization, radiation therapy, postural connective tissue adaptation, joint dysfunction, muscle spasms, trauma, chronic pain, women’s health issues, and neuromuscular conditions. Conditions such as ACL and rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic procedures, tendonitis, low back pain, muscle strains and joint sprains are commonly treated at Mettler Athletic with excellent long-term results. Also, people who have injuries that have not responded well to other forms of physical therapy or medical treatments are good candidates for MRT.

“Megan was so great every time I came in. She explained my injury step-by-step and helped me work out my physical problems. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I really enjoyed the therapy I received from her and would recommend her to anyone.”
