Comprehensive Care for Active People

At our main Sports Care facility in Wildwood Medical Center, athletes are guided through each therapy regimen in a 5,000 sq. ft. rehabilitation therapy theater with state-of-the-art equipment. The facility also includes a 40,000 sq. ft. attached fitness facility, full-size basketball court and indoor track used for sport-specific conditioning and other programs.

Designed for each athlete’s rehabilitation needs, aquatic therapy provides the resistance to rebuild muscle strength, dynamic stability, range of motion and endurance while eliminating the impact stress that can cause re-injury. Aquatic therapy is performed in the 60-foot-long therapy pool at the Sports Care facility in Wildwood Medical Center.

Restoring the strength, agility and range of motion for on-demand athletic performance – without re-injury – typically requires special hands-on therapy. Skilled therapists use manual techniques to evaluate and treat posture imbalances. The latest mobilization techniques are used to address joint and soft tissue problems. Therapists also regularly measure each athlete’s progress throughout the rehabilitation process.

Sport-specific training focuses on the unique physical demands of the recovering athlete’s sport. This training helps athletes with sports-related injuries regain the strength, special conditioning and confidence they need for faster – and safer – return to play.

From football to volleyball, Sports Care physicians and athletic trainers are on the scene at many local schools and community events to offer assistance and medical attention to athletes and coaches.

Sports Care performs annual pre-participation physicals throughout the year to evaluate athletes’ health and detect any potential for injury as early as possible. Our athletic trainers assist in preseason injury assessments and concussion screens as part of each player’s pre-participation physical.

Our Coaches Edge program provides coaches with information on a variety of sport-specific topics through interactive lectures and hands-on demonstrations. Injury prevention and preseason/in-season training effectiveness are key components.

Sports Care also provides Pupil Activity Certification (also known as the sports medicine certification and first aid and CPR training for coaches). First aid training is free to coaches from Sports Care-contracted schools and programs.

Many sports demand frequent and sudden bursts of speed, jumping, cutting, and explosiveness that can result in injury. Our specialized training system helps athletes optimize speed, agility, power, and sports-specific strength development, while improving and reinforcing proper functional movement patterns to help avoid injury.

Utilizing a cutting-edge functional biomechanics screening system, individual clients, entire teams, or entire athletic programs are screened for their functional predisposition to injury. Although a large focus of this screening program centers around risk of ACL knee injury, the system is also utilized to identify dysfunctional biomechanics in other joints or regions of the body. The results of this screening are then utilized to assist the athlete, coach, therapist, or physician in developing an appropriate intervention strategy to help minimize the risk of injury or improve rehabilitation of an existing injury.

Designed to coincide with a recovering athlete’s release from traditional physical therapy (or as intervention in cases of limited insurance coverage), this specialized sport-specific “return-to-play” functional training program focuses on the unique physical demands of the recovering athlete’s sport. When an athlete is not 100% ready to meet the demands of “on-field” or “on-court” practice and play once he or she is finished with traditional physical therapy, this guided program helps athletes with sports-related injuries regain the strength, special conditioning and confidence they need for faster, and safer, return to play.

For every sport there is a unique set of physical and mental skills. Our performance clinics and testing combines offer athletes specialized coaching, training tips, evaluation, and combine preparation opportunities to improve those skills and meet the unique demands of their sport. These Combines and Clinics are offered throughout the year. View Clinic Schedule

Before athletes can improve their performance, they need to know their strengths, weaknesses and their body’s potential for reaching performance goals. This cutting-edge assessment accurately identifies that important information. Each athlete is evaluated to highlight individual strengths and weaknesses in the areas of overall strength, speed, agility, power, and flexibility. This vital data provides the framework for developing a truly effective training program. After completion of a period of training, the individual can be reassessed to accurately identify the training effects and modify future training programs accordingly. View Training Schedule

Convenience is always a benefit, especially when you’re recovering from injuries. Housed in the same facility as Sports Care, the Wildwood Athletic Club is the ideal place for athletes to continue working toward personal goals once they’ve completed formal therapy and no longer need the therapist’s guidance. However, . . .

Experienced personal trainers are available for one-on-one training supervision and assistance. They’ll consult with your physical therapist and design a program unique to you and your personal goals for fitness, mobility and strength.

Feeling fit means feeling great, and staff members at Wildwood Athletic Club believe that feeling great can and should be a way of life. To make that possible, trainers and staff take fitness and wellness programs well beyond the conventional. You’ll find we take a holistic approach to improving member health with programs to improve the spirit, mind and body.
