OVERVIEW
At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, sports medicine isn’t only for athletes on the field. It’s for anyone whose body takes a hit from activity. Some patients come in after tweaking something during a weekend workout. Others feel pain from running, lifting, cycling, or even simple yardwork. Some deal with old injuries that flare when they try to get active again. Others want help staying strong without stressing their joints. We look at how your body handles movement, where things feel unstable, and what patterns keep causing trouble. Then we build a plan that fits your goals.

Orthopedic Experts
I have had a great experience with Dr. Patrick O’Brien . He is very thorough and takes time to explain the detail of every step in each exercise. I also appreciate that each office visit is truly one on one with him. And most importantly -after just one very first session- I felt tremendous relief from lower back pain that had been bothering me for 2 months. I’m grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him.

Patrick and the team are outstanding! They are very skilled in their field; they incorporate practices that root out the pain or discomfort; they do a great job of crafting programs and exercises to solve the symptoms being experienced; their customer service is excellent; and, their facility is perfect for the individualized care a person wants. I'm so glad I found them for my particular issues, and I highly recommend them.

This is my 2nd stint at rehab with Dr Patrick. He’s very knowledgeable and works with you 1 on 1. I would never go to a cookie cutter P/T clinic ever again. I recommend him without reservation.

What Are You Experiencing?
You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If you are experiencing severe or unbearable pain, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions
What injuries can sports medicine help with?
A wide range. Sprains from running. Shoulder irritation from lifting. Knee pain from jumping or squatting. Hip tightness from long bike rides. Foot and ankle pain from hiking or walking on uneven ground. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, your plan matches your activity level and the demands of your sport or routine.
Do I need to be an athlete to use sports medicine services?
Not at all. Many of our patients are regular adults who want to stay active without pain. You don’t need a team or a competition schedule. You only need a goal.
What if my injury keeps returning?
Recurrent injuries usually come from a pattern that hasn’t been addressed. Weakness on one side. Poor mobility in a key joint. Overloading the same structure. We look at the entire chain so we can fix the reason it keeps happening.
Can sports medicine help prevent future injuries?
Yes. Prevention is a big part of what we do. We teach better movement, improve strength where you need it, and help you build stability so your body can handle higher demands without breaking down.
Will my plan include exercises at home?
Most likely. Not hours of work. Just key movements that support what we do in the clinic. Home routines stay short so you can stick with them.
"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."
