Lacrosse Injury Physical Therapy & Recovery
Lacrosse blends soccer's running, hockey's contact, and an overhead throwing motion — and collects injuries from all three. We treat the whole mix.
Common lacrosse injuries we treat
A sport this fast-growing produces a lot of first-time athletes ramping up quickly — and a predictable injury list.
Ankle sprains
Constant cutting on turf and grass makes ankle sprains lacrosse's most common injury. Complete rehab — not just 'until it stops hurting' — is what prevents the chronically loose ankle.
Knee injuries (ACL, MCL, meniscus)
Dodging is a plant-and-cut on repeat. We rehab lacrosse knees through return-to-play testing and train the deceleration mechanics that protect them.
Shoulder injuries from checks
Body checks and falls produce AC joint sprains and collarbone-area injuries. Post-injury (or post-surgical) rehab restores the overhead motion shooting demands.
Hamstring & groin strains
Full-field sprinting plus lateral defense equals the classic muscle-strain pattern — and the classic recurrence problem when strength deficits go unfixed.
Low back & trunk pain
The torque of shooting and passing runs through the trunk. Teen players with persistent back pain deserve evaluation — growing spines handle rotational load differently.
Wrist & thumb injuries
Slashes and cross-checks find hands. Small-joint sprains heal fast when treated and stiffen when ignored.
How we get you back on the field
Assessment, recovery, and strength plans from doctors of physical therapy — we work with you until the problem is resolved and you're back at peak performance.
Assess
A full evaluation of your injury and your sport-specific movement — we find the cause, not just the sore spot.
First visitRecover
Hands-on treatment and a plan to calm pain and restore motion. Injury care is typically covered by insurance with a referral.
Insurance-basedRebuild
Progressive strength and mobility work targeted at what your sport demands — so the problem doesn't come back.
Either trackReturn
A graded return to play, with optional performance training to come back better than before the injury.
Direct, cash-basedWhy lacrosse players come to us
Lacrosse athletes need a clinic that understands the sport’s hybrid demands — running volume, contact, and an overhead shot. Our rehab plans end with dodging, shooting, and return-to-contact progressions, and the Performance Lab next door builds the speed the sport keeps getting faster around.
