Our physical therapy services
Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan.
At Recalibrate Physical Therapy, our Physical Therapist, Dr. Steven Sunderraj works closely to treat a wide range of athletes. We have sports lab testing services (VO2 Max, 3D Body Composition Scanner, Gait Analysis etc.) available at the same location through our sister company NYC Performance Lab.
We specialize in helping combat sports athletes in wrestling, Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, and mixed martial arts from the recreational level up to professional. Through examination and a process of elimination, Dr. Sunderraj creates a comprehensive, integrated approach to treating common sports-related injuries occurring in the neck, back, knees, and more.
We are well equipped to address NYC’s musculoskeletal needs.
Neck and upper back strains frequently involve overhead movement: CrossFit and weight training athletes performing overhead squats or military press; any weight-bearing activity places stress on your spine compounded with the heavier loads with which athletes often work. Not surprisingly, many back and neck injuries occur in high contact (hockey, football, rugby) and full contact (mixed martial arts, Jiujitsu, Muay Thai) sports. When you fall, the cervical spine absorbs the energy of the collision by dispersing the force through your intervertebral discs, muscles, and bones along the cervical spine curve. However, when the lumbar or neck is flexed (spear tackling in football) or forced into flexion (suplex in wrestling), this creates a substantial axial load that may result in herniation or tears in the ligaments of the back or neck.
Lower back-related injuries and lower back pain are widespread in virtually all types of sports. An estimated 10 to 15 percent of all athletes are expected to experience low back pain, with higher rates in football and dancing due to increased stress on the lumbar region of the spine. Despite athletes having greater strength and flexibility than the general public, repetitive flexion, extension, and axial loads contribute to their lower back pain.
Knee and ankle injuries are common in sports; the dynamic, explosive movements involved – sudden stops, twists, and turns – with the possibility of blunt force trauma place the ligaments and joints in the knee and ankle at risk for injury. The foot and ankle, knee, hip joint, and lumbopelvic junction all work in conjunction as part of the lower kinetic chain. Any injury sustained along the chain warrants checking the levels above and below the primary site of injury.
Neck, lower back, knee, or ankle – no matter the injury, we will evaluate you at Recalibrate and tailor the treatment plan to your specific sport, style of play, and position. We’ll get you on the road to recovery quickly and avoid future injury.
