Sport Performance Therapy

Improve performance. Prevent injury. Move at your highest level.

Van Meter Sport Performance Therapy

Sport Performance Therapy is designed for athletes and active individuals who want to move better, perform better, and recover faster. Instead of treating injuries in isolation, we look at the full picture -joint mobility, muscle function, strength deficits, movement patterns, and the demands of your specific sport.

Whether you're a competitive athlete, a weekend lifter, a runner, or someone who simply wants their body to feel more capable, this approach blends hands-on treatment with high-level movement training. The goal: optimize how your body loads, stabilizes, and produces power so you can perform with confidence and efficiency.

At Van Meter Health, Sport Performance Therapy is not a “cookie-cutter” sports massage or stretching session, it’s a performance-focused, assessment-driven system.

SPORT PERFORMANCE THERAPY FAQ

Do I need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from performance therapy?

No. Anyone who trains regularly or wants to move at a higher level can benefit. Active adults get just as much out of this as competitive athletes.

How is this different from regular physical therapy?

We blend clinical treatment with performance training — focusing not just on injury recovery, but improving strength, mechanics, and efficiency. It’s a more advanced, sport-specific approach.

Can this help prevent injuries?

Absolutely. By improving mobility, control, and movement mechanics, we reduce stress on joints and tissues so your body handles load more effectively.

Will I get exercises to do on my own?

Yes. You’ll receive a targeted plan with drills tailored to your sport and training goals — not a long list of generic exercises.

Is this useful during a training season?

Very. We modify intensity and load so you can continue training while recovering or improving mechanics.

How often should I come in?

Most athletes benefit from consistent sessions during intense training periods, and maintenance sessions during the off-season. We tailor frequency to your goals and schedule.
