Sports Injuries We Treat
Sports injury rehab here covers sudden injuries and problems that built up over weeks of training. It’s for runners, lifters, recreational athletes, office workers whose symptoms started during exercise, and anyone returning to activity after time off. It’s a good time to start when pain begins to affect work, workouts, sleep, or normal movement. You don’t need to compete to benefit.
Common reasons patients come in:
Knee
- Runner’s knee and kneecap pain
- Meniscus irritation and post-injury stiffness
- Knee pain after a return to running or lifting
Lower leg and foot
- Shin splints, common in runners increasing mileage
- Achilles tendon pain
- Plantar heel pain
- Ankle sprains and lingering instability
Hip and thigh
- Hamstring strains and tendon-related hip pain
- Groin and hip flexor pain
- Hip pain during squatting, running, or cycling
Shoulder and elbow
- Rotator cuff irritation
- Shoulder pain with overhead lifting or throwing
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Back and neck
- Lower back pain during lifting or rotation
- Neck and upper back pain that worsens with training
Soft tissue
- Muscle strains and partial tears
- Tendon soreness from overuse
For more detail on a specific area, see our pages on hip and knee pain, lower back pain relief exercises, and neck pain.
How We Treat Sports Injuries
Treatment combines hands-on work with progressive loading. The mix depends on the injury stage and what the patient needs to get back to.
Manual therapy. Hands-on techniques to reduce guarding, restore joint motion, and improve tissue tolerance. Keith Chan is a Graston Technique provider, an instrument-assisted soft tissue method.
Therapeutic exercise. Therapeutic exercise is central to most plans. Loading is adjusted session to session based on symptoms, strength, and tissue response.
Movement retraining. Many injuries trace back to how a person moves under load. ITNYCPT looks at squatting, running mechanics, overhead positions, and single-leg control, then changes the pattern that keeps reproducing symptoms.
Cupping. Used alongside exercise for soft tissue tension and muscle soreness.
Clinical Pilates. Rehab-based Pilates supports core control, hip stability, and controlled return to training.
Post-surgical rehab. Structured progression after joint repair or replacement, including post-surgical recovery exercises.

What Your First Visit Includes
Your first visit includes a full history, movement assessment, physical testing, and goal setting. Keith Chan reviews how your symptoms started, what makes them worse, what you have already tried, and what you need to return to.
Treatment often begins at the first visit, and you leave with a clear treatment plan and home exercise guidance.
Visit frequency depends on your injury, health history, workload, and how your body responds. Progress timelines vary based on severity, healing stage, training demands, and daily stress. We discuss expected outcomes directly and realistically.
Return to Sport
Rehab doesn’t end when the pain stops. If your goal is to get back to a sport, training, or a heavier workload, the plan carries through to that point.
Return-to-sport work usually covers three things: rebuilding strength in the injured area, restoring the movement pattern the injury disrupted, and rebuilding training volume at a rate the tissue can handle.
Returning to full load too quickly is one of the most common reasons an injury comes back. ITNYCPT sets the progression with you rather than handing you a date.

Real recoveries at our Midtown location
Healing Knee Tears Without Surgery
When a patient tore their meniscus and partially tore their ACL, a surgeon told them they needed surgery. Instead, they chose to recover at our Midtown location. By fixing how their body moves and strengthening their knees and hips, our therapist helped them get back full strength and movement. They avoided surgery entirely and got back to doing what they love.
Returning to Marathon Training After a Knee Injury
At our Midtown location, our therapist helped a patient get back on track for their upcoming race after a recent knee injury. By providing expert guidance and a targeted physical therapy program, we helped them eliminate pain completely. The patient was able to return to timely training for the marathon without any pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Midtown office and how do I get there?
Our Midtown office is at 162 W 56th St, Suite 302, New York, NY 10019. It’s about a 2-minute walk from the 57th St–7th Ave subway station (N, Q, R, W). The F train and the A, B, C, D, and 1 lines are also nearby.
Is there parking near the Midtown office?
The office doesn’t have on-site parking. Several parking garages are within a few blocks.
What are the Midtown office hours?
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Tuesday and Thursday: 8:45 AM to 3:00 PM.
Does the Midtown office accept my insurance?
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UnitedHealthcare Oxford Freedom, UnitedHealthcare Oxford Metro, Medicare, EmblemHealth, Wellcare, MagnaCare, UniCare, and No-Fault Insurance. Self-pay options are also available.
Coverage, copays, and visit limits vary by plan, so call with your insurance details and staff will confirm what applies before you book.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to start physical therapy in New York?
New York allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can begin treatment without a physician referral under certain conditions and time limits.
Your insurance plan may still require a referral for coverage, so check with your plan before your first visit.
How many sessions will I need, and how long does a sports injury take to heal?
It depends on the injury, how long it has been present, your health history, and your training or work demands.
Healing time also varies by tissue type and severity. A mild muscle strain behaves very differently from a tendon problem that built up over months or a post-surgical repair.
After your evaluation, your therapist gives you a realistic range based on your findings and reviews it as you progress.
Is sports injury rehab only for athletes?
No. Sports injury rehab is for active adults, office workers, and people returning to exercise after time away.
The same principles apply whether someone is training for a race or trying to lift their kid without pain.
Do you treat non-sports-related injuries?
Yes. We also treat overuse pain from desk work, post-surgical recovery, and general orthopedic problems. See our Midtown office page for more on what we treat there.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Availability depends on the day and time you’re looking for. Fill out the form above or call the clinic, and staff will find the soonest opening that works for your schedule.
