Physical Therapy - Sports Medicine

In any sport, growing kids who experience an injury require care and treatment specific to their growing bodies! They play and heal differently, too. Phoenix Children’s offers the only sports physical therapy program in the valley designed specifically for young athletes. We specialize in treating kids eight and older.

Sports physical therapists (PTs) are an extension of Phoenix Children’s sports medicine team. We treat everything from muscle pain, torn ligaments and overuse injuries to fractures and traumatic injuries. Your child’s doctor (this does not have to be a Phoenix Children’s doctor) can make a referral for advanced therapy, rehab and return-to-play guidance. We help kids to get better – and stay better – in peak, injury-free form.

Four convenient locations offer flexible before- and after-school access. Kids can walk, run, pitch, swing and practice in innovative environments surrounded by other youth athletes.

Our sports medicine and physical therapy teams educate athletes, coaches, families and teams. Areas of focus include injury prevention, understanding concussion, as well as how to train and compete at a high-level. You’ll find us involved in:

• Club sports: Support for soccer, baseball, football, rugby and softball clubs
• Ballet Arizona: Care for pre-company (pre-professional) dancers
• High school athletics: Athletic training services for school sports and medical direction for around 30 high schools across the valley
