Move Better, Play Stronger: Celebrating National Physical Fitness and Sports Month 2025
By Adrian Lorenzo, PT, DPT ///
May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month—a perfect time to highlight the importance of staying active, fit, and injury-free. At Scerbo Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation, we believe movement is medicine. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for peak performance, or just getting back into a routine, physical therapy plays a key role in building a stronger, healthier you.
Physical Therapy: The Engine Behind Fitness and Sports Success
Physical therapy isn’t just for recovery—it’s a proactive tool to build strength, mobility, and resilience. Here’s how PT supports physical fitness and sports performance:
• Injury Prevention: We identify muscle imbalances, faulty movement patterns, and mobility restrictions that can lead to injury. Correcting these reduces the risk before it becomes a setback.
• Rehabilitation: From sprains and strains to post-surgical recovery, physical therapy helps athletes heal faster and return safely to sport.
• Performance Optimization: We improve biomechanics, agility, coordination, and sport-specific strength so athletes perform at their highest level.
How We Promote Fitness and Sports Participation
This May, we’re turning up the volume on physical activity. At Scerbo Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation, we’re encouraging our community to make movement a daily priority through:
• Free fitness screenings to assess strength, balance, and flexibility
• Community education on injury prevention and exercise safety
• Tips and mini-challenges on social media to inspire consistent movement
• Collaboration with local schools, gyms, and sports teams to spread awareness
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or competitive athlete, the goal is the same—move more, move smart, and stay in the game.
Sports Rehabilitation & Enhancement Programs
Our Sports Rehabilitation Program is designed for athletes of all levels recovering from injury. Each plan is customized, targeting your specific sport and stage of recovery. We focus on rebuilding strength, restoring joint function, and gradually reintroducing athletic movements so you return better than before.
Our Sports Enhancement Training takes healthy athletes to the next level. With a focus on speed, agility, power, and injury resistance, we tailor each session to your goals and sport demands. It’s not just about training harder—it’s about training smarter.
