Specialized Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation at UH Ahuja Medical Center

Advanced anti-gravity technology provides athletes with a sense of weightlessness when walking or running on the treadmill. This therapy is helpful for restoring normal walking/running mechanics and promoting healing after injuries, including stress fractures. Reduced bodyweight helps athletes to train with less pain and enables them to maintain fitness levels after injury or surgery.

BFRT uses a specialized tourniquet that is inflated to a customized pressure intermittently to reduce blood flow to the extremity which performing rehabilitation therapy. The pressure allows for the maintenance of arterial blood flow while limiting venous outflow to the site of the injury. BFRT has been shown to enhance outcomes and shorten rehab time.

Designed by doctors and physical therapists, Eccentron is a highly specialized piece of equipment that targets the eccentric, or muscle lengthening, portion of an exercise, usually by slowing it down to increase the intensity. Muscle lengthening under negative resistance has been proven to enhance overall athletic performance including strength, power, reaction times and agility.

A noninvasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by releasing growth factors into the injured tissue. Benefits include pain relief and enhanced healing of injured tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues.

A system that delivers iceless cold, heat, contrast and compression therapies for the treatment of acute and chronic injuries. Game Ready technology is proven to decrease pain and swelling, increase post-op range of motion and reduce the need for pain medications.

A proven therapy that inserts thin needles into muscles that contain trigger points. A twitch response occurs and deactivates the contracted painful muscle. It can be effective with myofascial pain, chronic pain, headaches and impaired mobility.

A state-of-the-art machine that facilitates isokinetic exercise training using different levels of resistance to strengthen specific joint patterns including shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and back.

Force plates are mechanical sensing systems designed to analyze the ground reaction force of athletes while walking, running or jumping. The plates detect and measure accelerations, reactions and athlete imbalances to provide training insights and support the rehabilitation process.

A wireless timing device that enables athletes and coaches to measure time and speed, input test data and save it in the TCi-Timer memory. Accurate to a thousandth of a second, the TCi-System is a highly precise timing tool.

The Just Jump system consists of a square jumping pad and a hand-held, battery-powered computer unit. The system is used to measure height and hang time for vertical jumps, sprint times, explosive leg power and anaerobic capacity.

A compression device that uses compressed air to massage the arms, legs or hips, to mobilize fluids and promote faster recovery and recuperation following intense exertion.

A system that combines cold, heat, contrast and compression therapy to reduce edema, swelling and pain in post-surgical and acute injuries.

A fast and accurate system that combines advanced sensors, real-time data visualization and cloud analytics to measure, monitor and train an individual’s hamstring strength and imbalance.
