ERP

Exercise Rehabilitation Program (ERP)

ERP is a specialized adjunct to traditional manual therapy uniquely offered at The Sports Medicine Specialists.

Progressive
Early and progressive functional strength training allows faster and more complete recovery from injury. Our patients are better prepared to return to their active lifestyle.

Sub-Acute
Once the acute phase of injury is over, our patients are introduced to our specially trained ERP therapists. In conjunction to their continued physio or athletic therapy, a specific exercise program is begun. Care is taken to maintain our patients fitness level while their injury is recovering. This ensures no time is lost between when the injury is healed and their return to activity.
