At Move Smart in Kentucky, there’s a keen focus on tailored sports performance services that meet you where you’re at. We design our approach to identify the problem and decrease your pain. But, unlike traditional PT, we don’t stop there. We figure out the compensation that caused the pain in the first place. We then design a program that optimizes your movement pattern to prevent a vicious pain cycle and perform at your highest ability, not only to recover after an injury or ease a condition but also so that you can perform better than you ever have before!

No More Band-Aid Solutions

You’re an athlete. Pain might be something you deal with all the time, but it doesn’t have to be.

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy address the root cause of your injury, not just the specific location of your pain.

With well-rounded solutions, the approach covers everything from athletic speed and agility training to mental performance training for athletes. Let’s teach your mind and body to perform better so that you can enjoy life more.

Ditch the generalized exercise packets and insurance constraints–Move Smart’s physical therapy crafts a custom plan for your individual needs to get you moving again.

Stronger, Faster, and Simply Better: Going Beyond Injury-Free

How many times have you suffered from the same injury that’s landed you here today? Injury prevention for athletes requires sport-specific strength and conditioning.

Pain-free is only our first goal. Next, we teach you to properly create and absorb forces to prevent future reinjury.

Going back to your sport injury-free isn’t enough for us. Your overall performance can improve; you’ll be stronger, faster, and better.

Custom Training From Young Athletes to Experienced Seniors

Our physical therapists have decades of experience working with athletes of all ages.

A middle school baseball player requires different sports training and performance enhancement exercises than a 60-year pickleball player.

Age-appropriate, sports-specific training programs are essential, from college football stars to weekend warriors in:

  • Golf
  • Basketball
  • Soccer
  • Baseball
  • Lacrosse
  • Boxing
  • Rugby
  • Running
  • Tennis
  • Swimming and diving
  • Martial arts
  • And more

Benching the One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Generic exercise packets don’t work, especially a long list of to-do stretches that you have to figure out yourself. Two people of similar ages and body types may have identical diagnoses, but their roads to recovery will look very different.

With Move Smart, you receive the highest quality of care carefully matched to your physiological needs.

Here are some of the services we may incorporate into your treatment plan:

Movement Analysis and Biomechanics

PT That Fits Your Lifestyle Like a Glove

You’re busy with work, school, sports, training, and family. The last thing you need is more appointments and at-home exercises.

We individualize your PT plan to your lifestyle for fewer sessions overall that still help you move properly.

An Answer to Any Injury

We don’t guarantee that we can heal any injury, but we work hard to deconstruct your movement patterns to find the root cause of the injury. Many people have had little or mediocre success with PT. That’s because the PT just addressed the injured area. We look far beyond the injured area to see how you are producing force for your sport. We then optimize your movement pattern to prevent pain and improve the outcomes you care about…improving your performance pain-free.

There are some situations that are more complex and need more than PT alone.  In these cases, we don’t send you away just because you didn’t meet some arbitrary goal. We will partner with you and other healthcare providers to develop a collaborative approach to your care. Navigating the medical system alone can feel scary. We can help you feel more confident about your decisions by keeping your end goals at the heart of your care.

Here are some common injuries that our licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy can help with:

  • Tennis elbow
  • Hip flexor strains
  • Sprains
  • Fractures
  • Knee injuries
  • Shin splints
  • Back and neck pain
  • Concussions
  • ACL reconstructive surgeries
  • Cartilage defects
  • Dislocations
  • Hip impingements
  • Labrum tears
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Runner’s knee
  • Tendonitis
  • And more

Say Goodbye to Insurance Constraints

Insurers restrict many clinicians from being able to fully rehabilitate injured clients. When you visit these traditional PTs, they might have time and service restraints. That won’t help you heal.

At Move Smart, we’re solely driven by your individual needs and life goals. Whether you want to run a marathon at age 60 or heal from your knee replacement before the big game, we’re here for you.
