• Researchers from Noyes to Hewett, Mandelbaum to Wotjys, and Kibler to Ireland have demonstrated that the ability to produce muscular power and move efficiently does more than simply improve sports performance. Athletes that develop these characteristics properly reduce injury risk and return more quickly to the field of play better prepared to compete.
• More recent research has shown that athletes often employ landing strategies that place their lower extremities at an increased risk of injury following surgery (Decker et al., 2002) and when comparing men to women (Chappell et al., 2002).
• This only highlights the need for athletes to undergo a jump training program to improve landing techniques in the hope of reducing non-contact knee injuries.

• In addition to restoring movement and basic strength, the injured athletes you treat require advanced movement skill training (i.e., sports-specific balance and jump training and running) to improve athlete health and reduce the risk of re-injury.
• While general orthopedic physical therapists do a good job treating musculoskeletal dysfunction, they simply do not possess the tools to attend to the total package that is the competitive athlete.
• Omaha Sports Physical Therapy addresses the previously unfilled need for a facility dedicated to rehabilitating athletes following sports-related injuries.
• When athletes are injured, they choose a physician with the experience and expertise to return them to sports participation as quickly as possible. Why should the use of a specialist end there?
• Sports-specific physical therapy is essential to safely speed an athlete's return to full function. Omaha Sports Physical Therapy is staffed by a physical therapist that has not only earned advanced certifications, but is a nationally known plyometrics expert.
• Because of insurance and other limitations, formal physical therapy may not always be able to fully address the impairments athletes may have. To address this concern, Omaha Sports Physical Therapy offers patients the opportunity to continue treatment as post-rehabilitation trainees.
