Common questions about ski physical therapy near me in Williston, VT
How soon after a ski injury should I start physical therapy?
The sooner you start, the better your recovery outcomes typically are. For acute injuries like ACL tears or shoulder dislocations, we recommend scheduling an evaluation within the first few days to weeks after injury. Even if you're waiting for surgery, pre-operative physical therapy (prehab) can significantly improve your post-surgical recovery. For chronic ski injuries that have been bothering you for weeks or months, it's never too late to address the root cause and start healing properly.
Do you work with athletes recovering from ski surgery?
Yes, we specialize in post-surgical rehabilitation for common ski injuries including ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, rotator cuff surgery, and labral repairs. We work closely with orthopedic surgeons throughout Vermont to ensure your recovery follows best practices while progressing at the right pace for your goals. Our approach combines manual therapy, progressive strengthening, and ski-specific movement training to get you back on snow safely.
Can you help me get back to skiing this season if I'm injured now?
It depends on the type and severity of your injury, but our goal is always to help you return to skiing as quickly and safely as possible. Many skiers with sprains, strains, and overuse injuries can return to the mountain within weeks with the right treatment approach. We'll give you an honest assessment of your timeline during your initial evaluation and create a plan that prioritizes both speed and safety in your recovery.
What makes your approach different from other physical therapy clinics?

Dr. Stephen Burkert is a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Specialist with additional certifications in strength and conditioning, giving us a unique perspective on athletic performance.
