Does your sports injury do any of this?
Check everything that sounds like you.
A weak link in how you move, an old injury you compensated for, or returning to sport too soon is often the real cause. That's exactly what we find and fix.
Find Out What's Causing Yours
From Sidelined to Back in the Game
High school and college athletes, runners, and weekend warriors come to us after rest and "wait and see" didn't work. With the right sports physical therapy, they get back to playing, and stop worrying about the next flare-up.
- One-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy
- A sport-specific, step-by-step return-to-play plan
- Rehab and performance training under one roof
Rest, ice, and "give it time" calm the pain. They don't fix why it happened.
Most athletes take a few weeks off, feel better, and get hurt again as soon as they're back at full speed. At Back In Motion, our physical therapy in Fort Myers and Cape Coral focuses on the real cause. Common culprits:
- A weak link in how you run, jump, cut, or land
- Compensations from an old injury
- Muscle imbalances that overload a joint or tendon
- Returning to sport before strength and control are back

Dr. Scott Gray, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT, CSCS
Dr. Gray founded Back In Motion after college football injuries led to four surgeries in two years. Like many injured athletes, he was told to rest and "wait it out," but the injuries kept coming back. A Doctor of Physical Therapy finally found the cause, and he came back to earn All-Conference honors.
That experience led to The Gray Method™, and today he and his team help athletes find why they got hurt, fix it, and return stronger.

Common questions about sports physical therapy
Do I need an MRI or X-ray first?
Most athletes don't need imaging to get started. Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation, and if we find anything that needs further testing, we'll tell you and help coordinate with your doctor.
How do I know when I'm ready to return to my sport?
Being pain-free isn't the same as being ready. We use strength, movement, and sport-specific testing to decide when you're ready, so you go back with confidence instead of guessing.
Can I keep training while I recover?
In most cases, yes, with smart changes. We'll tell you exactly what's safe to keep doing, what to modify, and how to stay in shape while you heal.
Do you work with high school athletes?
Yes. We work with high school and college athletes, adult athletes, and weekend warriors.
What does sports physical therapy include?
It starts with a one-on-one evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to find why you got hurt, not just where it hurts. Your plan combines hands-on treatment, sport-specific strength and movement training, and a clear return-to-sport progression.
