Innovative Athletic Physical Therapy in Oak Grove and Independence, MO
If you’ve sustained a sports-related injury, you can count on Synergy Therapies for quality athletic physical therapy services to get you back in the game. Our physical therapists utilize both land-based and water-based therapies to promote recovery and begin the healing process.
Athletic Physical Therapy Techniques
We use a variety of athletic physical therapy techniques specifically designed to repair and strengthen the area you’ve injured. Your recovery plan and exercises will be tailored to meet your individual needs, with most patients using a combination of land- and water-based therapies. We treat patients for sprains and strains, fractures, back and neck injuries, and more. We use a combination of effective therapy techniques, like Soft Tissue Release Therapy, and exercises to help you recover.
Water Therapy in the Rehabilitation Process
Many patients can begin physical therapy in the water before they’ve been cleared to exercise on land. Our unique Phased Progression program combines land and aqua therapy techniques and allows patients to begin rehabilitation earlier than if only land-based therapies were used. Water exercises are performed in our temperature-controlled therapy pool that utilizes the most advanced technology to harness the healing powers of water. There are many benefits to utilizing water therapy before moving to land-based exercises:
We also combine our Phased Progression program with other therapy techniques such as Active Release Technique, Kinesiotaping, Muscle Activation Technique, and other interventions.
With our variety of therapy techniques and programs suited for athletes, Synergy Therapies is an excellent facility for those who want to return to competition as fast as possible and at maximum function.

Water exercises are performed in our temperature-controlled therapy pool that utilizes the most advanced technology to harness the healing powers of water. There are many benefits to utilizing water therapy before moving to land-based exercises:
- Expedited joint range of motion (ROM) and expedited edema reduction using warm water, hydrostatic pressure, and pain-free ROM exercises that are prohibited on land.
- Early strengthening to healing tissues by using different buoyancy dependent and viscosity movements, which enhance tissue repair and tensile/compression strength without compromising injured or surgically repaired tissue.
- Using the SwimEx therapy pool’s variable speed laminar flow technology, athletes optimize and maintain their cardiovascular capacity while rehabilitating weight-bearing sensitive tissue using buoyancy and turbulence.
- Warm water and multiple depth pool engineering allow sports-specific movements to be introduced in the early stages of re-adaptation, thereby activating the functions of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems while maintaining a low risk of injury.
