FAQs

1. How is this different from the physical therapy we’d get through our doctor or insurance?
Many traditional PT clinics offer generic rehab that stops once basic function is restored. At Cohen Health and Performance, we go further—providing sport-specific rehab, performance integration, and return-to-sport testing to ensure your athlete is truly ready to compete again at a high level.

2. Will my athlete fall behind while in rehab?
Quite the opposite. Our rehab process is designed to maintain and even improve your athlete’s strength, mobility, and overall fitness while safely addressing their injury. We work to ensure they return to play not just healed, but better prepared than before.

3. How long will it take for my athlete to recover and get back to their sport?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the type and severity of the injury, but our goal is always a safe, efficient return to sport. We’ll provide a clear roadmap from day one, with regular progress updates and sport-specific milestones to track readiness. Your athlete won’t be rushed—but they also won’t be stuck in a generic, one-size-fits-all rehab plan.

4. My athlete is involved in multiple sports—can you help with that?
Absolutely. We specialize in working with multi-sport athletes and understand how to balance overlapping demands. We’ll create a recovery plan that supports success across all sports while keeping your athlete healthy and resilient.

5. What if my athlete is nervous about returning to play after an injury?
That’s very common, and we address it head-on. Our return-to-sport process is gradual and supported by objective benchmarks, giving your athlete the confidence that they’re physically and mentally ready to compete. We also prioritize open communication to ensure they feel supported throughout their recovery.
