Staying injury-free isn’t just about luck!

Staying injury-free isn’t just about luck—it’s about smart preparation. At O’Brien, we use movement screenings, strength testing, and sport-specific analysis to identify risk factors before they become problems. Research shows that targeted prevention programs can reduce sports injuries by over 40%, especially for lower extremity injuries like ACL tears or ankle sprains.

Our prevention strategies include:

  • Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
  • Sport-specific strength and mobility training
  • Jump and landing mechanics coaching
  • Load management and recovery planning
  • Education on warm-up, cool-down, and self-care

Going back to normal

isn’t enough

We want you to return to your sport stronger, more confident, and fully prepared. Our Return to Sport screenings go beyond symptom resolution to evaluate your strength, control, and overall readiness.

We design a customized plan to bridge the gap between rehab and high-level activity—ensuring you're truly ready for game day. This what we assess:

  • Lower limb symmetry and power output
  • Core and single-leg stability
  • Agility, reaction time, and movement control
  • Mental readiness and movement confidence
  • Sport-specific performance metrics (e.g., cutting, pivoting, sprinting)
