Why Athletes Choose Gaylord for Physical Therapy
With five (5) convenient locations across Connecticut, and early morning and evening appointments, our team will accommodate your busy schedule.
Each clinic features a fully equipped gym with standard and advanced equipment, from squat racks to anti-gravity treadmills. Reach peak athletic performance with a progressive approach tailored to your long-term goals.
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.
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.
