Sports Medicine Tech
Recovery at Gaylord

Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Physical Therapy

Gaylord offers an extraordinary range of technologies, therapeutic modalities, and patient services, all based on the latest research and best practices, including aquatic therapy, dry needling, exercise therapy, strength conditioning, soft tissue mobilization, and more.

A Space for Athletes

State of the Art Physical Therapy Equipment

Access to Gaylord's high-tech rehabilitation equipment will help you return to physical activity, target specific muscle groups, and increase your range of motion while preventing future injuries from overuse. 

Unlike typical physical therapy settings that focus on stretching, bands, and balance balls, we incorporate a wide range of weight machines, squat racks, cable machines, and free weights alongside advanced equipment, like anti-gravity treadmills, blood flow restriction cuffs, and proprioception-enhancing equipment. 

This approach allows us to create a dynamic environment similar to that of a CrossFit facility or other high-intensity training spaces. By prioritizing strength and functional movement, we aim to empower our patients, helping them recover and reach peak athletic performance.

What Our Patients Say

"Gaylord Physical Therapy is a very supportive place that gives you confidence to push yourself. It felt like a real family."

"What an incredible experience I had with my PT, Andrew. I came in with a neck injury, and Andrew performed a thorough evaluation, which helped determine the treatment plan. After only a few sessions, my neck was 100%."

"Gaylord PT is an exceptional place. The advice, support and especially understanding of the staff is excellent. Eric S. is the best PT I have ever had. His ability to be encouraging, empathetic and firm is what I have been looking for."

"Morgan R. is an exceptional physical therapist who played a crucial role in my recovery journey. From our first session, I felt truly understood and heard. Thanks to Morgan's dedicated and personalized care, I have gone from experiencing constant pain to no pain at all. Her guidance and support have been invaluable."
