Physical Therapy for Apophystits
Comprehensive Therapy Designed to Maximize Your Recovery
Welcome to Premier Performance and PT, where we specialize in providing effective physical therapy solutions for individuals suffering from apophysitis. Apophysitis, though often overlooked, can significantly impact one's daily life and physical activities. In this section, we'll delve into what apophysitis is, its symptoms, and how our tailored physical therapy treatments can help alleviate discomfort and promote recovery.
Understanding Apophysitis
Apophysitis is a condition characterized by inflammation and irritation of the growth plate at the site of a tendon attachment to bone. It commonly affects adolescents and young athletes who are engaged in repetitive activities such as running, jumping, or throwing. The condition typically occurs during periods of rapid growth when bones and muscles are developing at different rates, leading to stress on the growth plate. Symptoms can include:
Persistent pain in the affected area, which may worsen with activity
Swelling and tenderness at the site of the affected tendon attachment
Difficulty with range of motion or decreased flexibility in the affected joint
Discomfort that may linger after physical activity or during rest

Customized exercise programs are designed to strengthen muscles, correct imbalances, and improve biomechanics to reduce strain on the affected growth plate.

We believe that knowledge is a powerful tool in your journey to recovery from apophysitis. Our therapists are dedicated to providing you with comprehensive education about your condition, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
What Makes Us Different?
No Generic Treatment Plans
Unlike other clinics that may offer standard protocols, we meticulously assess each patient's unique biomechanics, functional limitations, and lifestyle factors to tailor a personalized treatment plan.
We take into account exercise history, previous injury history, growth patterns, and more while adapting and changing your treatment plan to ensure a quicker recovery.
We Find the Root Cause of Your Symptoms
Rather than focusing solely on the temporary relief of your symptoms, we thoroughly examine each individual to ensure that we are treating the root cause of your symptoms.
Our expert physical therapy team conducts thorough evaluations to assess the extent of the apophysitis and identify contributing factors such as biomechanical issues, muscle imbalances, or training patterns specific to the hip.
With additional attention to detail, we focus on on both alleviating your current symptoms AND preventing future recurrences.
One on One Individualized Care
Unlike clinics that may delegate care to assistants or multitask during sessions, we prioritize one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) to provide focused attention and ensure effective treatment.
We emphasize active patient involvement and education, empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills to manage their condition effectively.
Experienced Doctors for Efficient Results
Our qualified Doctors treat patients of all ages with specialized experience in a variety of fields including sports, orthopedics, geriatrics, and neurology.
We integrate advanced technologies, such as kinematic and kinetic analyses, to refine movement patterns and optimize hip function.
Patient Reviews

“We took our son here after he was diagnosed with apophysitis in his hip, and we are currently taking him for little league shoulder/a labral tear. I believe coming back speaks for itself. Dr. Greg is always on point— he knows exactly what he is doing, and he customizes a rehab program around the individual patient. As our son improves, his workouts are adjusted to ensure he’s getting healthier and stronger. Our son has also worked with Dr. Jason on some days, and the experience is always top notch. The facility is very clean and welcoming. Time is dedicated to one patient at a time, and communication is very clear. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of a physical therapist.” -Alex M.
“I highly recommend Dr Frye to anyone with any type of injury, whether a new injury, or a lingering problem. After struggling with a hamstring injury that wouldn’t seem to heal, a good friend suggested I see Dr Frye since he had been able to help him. I am amazed. I had been to body work specialists, chiropractors, and physical therapists who had attempted to treat me and give me different strategies to enable my injury to heal, and none were lasting remedies. After one visit with Dr Frye, I was able to sprint and complete a full leg workout pain free. He gave me clear and concise instructions on exercises to continue with to ensure my hamstring stays strong and explained the way his techniques work. I am a believer. Thank you Dr Frye.” -Luke H.
