A weak link somewhere in your body, an old injury you compensated for, or returning to sport too soon is often the real cause. The good news: that's exactly what we find and fix.
Find Out What's Causing Yours
Rest, ice, and "give it time" treat where it hurts. They don't fix why it hurts.
Whether you're a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, or an active adult, most providers offer cookie-cutter rehab or tell you to "just give it time." If the injury keeps coming back as soon as you push yourself, the real issue is still being missed. Why most sports injuries keep coming back:
- Movement patterns that overload joints and tissues
- Weak links in the kinetic chain that go undiagnosed
- Compensations from previous injuries or imbalances
- Rushing back to sport without restoring strength, control, and confidence
- Treating only the painful area, not the real cause beneath it

Dr. Scott Gray, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT, CSCS
Dr. Gray founded Back In Motion after a college football injury ended his playing career. Like many injured athletes, he was told to rest, stretch, and "wait it out." The pain improved, but his performance never came back.
That frustration led to The Gray Method™, a science-based approach to finding where your body moves too much, where it doesn't move enough, and why injuries keep coming back. Today it powers everything we do:
- Sports injury rehabilitation
- Return-to-sport strength training
- Performance training and injury prevention
Common questions about sports injury 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 athletes, adult athletes, and weekend warriors, and our sports performance training helps young athletes come back stronger and reduce the risk of getting hurt again.
