Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility and reducing pain through personalized 1-on-1 sessions. We combine manual therapy techniques with sport-specific training to address injuries and improve performance. Our approach emphasizes patient education and progressive exercise programs tailored to each athlete's unique needs and goals.
ACL Rehabilitation
Specialized ACL rehabilitation programs include comprehensive evaluation, progressive strengthening, and sport-specific return-to-play protocols. We utilize advanced testing and performance metrics to ensure full recovery while minimizing re-injury risk through our 12+ week personalized rehabilitation process.
Dry Needling
Dry needling treatments target muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function through precise needle insertion. This evidence-based technique creates micro-traumas that stimulate healing responses, effectively addressing chronic pain and accelerating recovery for athletes.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
BFR training uses controlled blood flow restriction to enhance muscle growth and strength with lighter loads. This technique accelerates recovery while maintaining muscle mass during injury rehabilitation through specialized pressure cuffs and monitored exercise protocols.
Sports Performance
Our sports performance programs combine strength training, agility drills, and injury prevention strategies tailored to specific sports requirements. We utilize advanced testing and biomechanical analysis to develop individualized training plans that enhance athletic capabilities and reduce injury risk.

Questions
What makes Puckett Physical Therapy different from other clinics?
We specialize exclusively in athlete care with 1-hour 1-on-1 sessions, sport-specific training facilities, and board-certified specialists who focus on both rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
Do you treat non-athletes or just sports professionals?
While we specialize in athletes, we treat active adults of all levels from weekend warriors to professional athletes, tailoring treatments to each individual's activity level and goals.
What should I expect during my first evaluation?
Your 60-minute initial evaluation includes comprehensive movement analysis, injury assessment, and personalized plan development with our therapists focusing on identifying root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
Do you offer virtual or telehealth appointments?
We prioritize in-person care for optimal treatment but may incorporate virtual follow-ups for specific cases. Most rehabilitation requires hands-on assessment and manual therapy techniques.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We operate as an out-of-network provider to maintain treatment autonomy. Our documentation meets all requirements for potential insurance reimbursement while maintaining focus on patient-centered care.
How long does typical rehabilitation take?
Treatment duration varies by injury but our personalized programs typically range from 8-12 weeks with weekly 1-hour sessions, focusing on complete recovery rather than standardized timelines.
