Everyone here goes above and beyond in every aspect. Very friendly and knowledgeable I am on my way to fully recovering from ACL surgery thanks to them!
John G Freeh
After multiple setbacks with one of the major health networks in the Lehigh Valley, I started going to Robbins to get back on track after my ACL reconstruction in January. From the moment I stepped foot in the door, all of the personnel and staff were welcoming and friendly; from the front office staff (Carly, Paige, Mike) to the PTs, aides, and interns (Emily, Nick, Dan, Heather), all are very capable and put the patient first. At previous PT providers, I have had anxiety when I had to deviate from a known and trusted physical therapist. Not so at Robbins! I enjoy their ability to challenge me (though I jokingly grumble about it) while preventing further injury. They listen to the patient and can pivot their approach for how the patient feels that day. I have referred family and friends to Robbins and won’t be seeking an alternate provider for my needs any time soon!

Need Help Recovering from a Sports Injury in Lehigh Valley?
Sports Therapy is the Right Choice
Sports injury physical therapy provides comprehensive evaluation, treatment, return-to-sport planning, and injury prevention strategies for athletes at every level.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
We guide post-surgical athletes through mobility restoration, strength rebuilding, and sport-specific conditioning. To accomplish this, sports therapy specialists use techniques such as:
- Manual Therapy (specialized hands-on techniques to facilitate movement, and functional control)
- Therapeutic Exercise – from active range of motion (simply working against gravity), to advanced resistance protocols, sports therapists help an athlete recover the necessary strength to compete in their given sport.
- Heat, ice, taping techniques, and electrical stimulation
- Functional Retraining – all sports require specialized balance, movement patterns, and dynamic flexibility and stability. Sports therapy includes retraining the athlete in their given area of interest or excellence. Examples include helping pitchers recover their throwing mechanics. Assisting football players in cutting, catching, throwing, and backpedaling. Helping basketball players recover the jumping, shuffling, and shooting mechanics.
- Dynamic Strength & Endurance Training – most sports require endurance, balance, and short burst of intense strength output. In the later stages of rehabilitation of athletes, sports therapists transition players to advanced conditioning programs that closely replicate their experience on the court or playing field.
Prevention
Our team provides proactive strategies for injury prevention, including movement screenings, equipment recommendations, and conditioning programs such as ACL-prevention and endurance training.
Sports Performance Programs
We offer customized performance programs that enhance speed, agility, coordination, and sport-specific movement. These training plans help athletes exceed performance goals while supporting a healthier, more efficient healing process.
If you or your teen athlete want to speed up recovery or improve athletic performance, our specialists in sports injury treatment and sports injury rehab are ready to help. We also provide complementary care options such as chiropractic treatment for sports injuries when appropriate.
