sports injury rehabilitation

You don’t train hard just to sit on the sidelines. When pain stops your stride or strength fades after an injury, it’s easy to feel stuck and frustrated. You want to get back to the workouts, trails, or competitions that make you feel alive.

At Total Pursuit Physical Therapy & Performance, we help you recover faster and stronger without depending on painkillers, injections, or surgery. You’ll learn what’s really causing your pain and how to fix it for good.

Through our personalized approach, you stay active throughout your recovery. Instead of just resting, you rebuild. You move smarter. You perform better.

You’ll feel confident returning to what you love because your body won’t just heal. It’ll come back more resilient than before.

Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Program Helps You Return to Sport Faster

Recover Smarter With a Personalized Rehabilitation Program

Every athlete’s recovery is different. The success of your sports injury rehabilitation depends on finding what your body truly needs, not just following a generic plan.

Physical therapists start with a thorough evaluation that identifies the exact injury mechanisms, training load issues, and muscle imbalances holding you back.

Your treatment plan includes:

  • Exercise therapy
  • Manual techniques
  • Functional training tailored to your particular sport

Whether you’re dealing with a knee injury, sprained ankle, or overuse injury from repetitive strain, we guide your healing process step by step.

Rebuild Strength and Confidence in Every Movement

Once your pain is under control, you move into progressive sports specific training that prepares you for the real demands of your game. We rebuild your functional capacity using:

  • Plyometric exercises
  • Balance drills
  • Resistance training

If you play contact sports like football or hockey in the Green Bay area, we’ll design drills that mimic cutting, tackling, or quick directional changes.

For runners training for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon or triathletes gearing up for the Door County Triathlon, we’ll create endurance exercises that strengthen the kinetic chain and prevent future injuries.

Work With a Complete Sports Rehabilitation Team

Our multidisciplinary team of physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, and athletic trainers work together to support your recovery process.

We use advanced therapeutic interventions to aid recovery and promote long-term performance:

  • Dry needling
  • Soft tissue mobilization
  • Movement retraining

You stay active during your rehabilitation process rather than sidelined. That means we teach you how to train around the injured area, manage pain safely, and prevent re injury through sport specific rehabilitation protocols.

Prevent Future Injuries and Build Long-Term Resilience

The right rehabilitation program doesn’t just get you back to sport. It helps you stay there.

We focus on injury prevention strategies that reduce the risk of ligament tears, stress fractures, and overuse injuries.

We’ll show you how to:
• Adjust your training load to prevent overtraining
• Build joint stability through targeted strengthening
• Improve mobility and balance for better body control
• Maintain sports health with proper warm-ups and recovery habits

When you finish your rehab with us, your body won’t just heal—it’ll perform better than before.

You’ll leave feeling confident, strong, and ready to take on any challenge, from your next CrossFit workout in De Pere to your next season on the field.

Return to Sport With Confidence and Strength

Train Beyond the Injury

You’ve worked hard to build strength and endurance, and an injury doesn’t have to erase that progress.

Our sports injury rehabilitation program helps you stay active while healing. You won’t sit on the sidelines waiting for recovery. Instead, you’ll train smarter and rebuild stronger.

At Total Pursuit Physical Therapy & Performance, we focus on functional training that keeps you moving safely. You’ll perform exercises that match your sport, whether that’s trail running through Brown County, lifting at Titletown Fitness, or competing in the Green Bay Half Marathon.

Every session restores balance, stability, and confidence in your body.

Our physical therapists guide you through each phase, from pain relief to sport specific skills. We blend hands-on therapy with strength training, mobility drills, and plyometric exercises to rebuild the power you need to perform at your best.

Prevent Reinjury and Build Long-Term Resilience

Returning to play is only half the goal. Staying there is what really matters.

We help you prevent future injuries through sport specific rehabilitation protocols and performance conditioning.

You’ll learn how to:

• Warm up effectively before every practice or race
• Manage training load to avoid overuse injuries
• Improve body mechanics for your specific sport
• Recover properly to reduce fatigue and strain

You finish the program not just healed but more capable than before. You’ll move better, train harder, and compete with confidence knowing your body can handle it.

I saught out a PT after a reaggravated a long term back injury in an attempt to properly address the issue and come out with a long term recovery plan. After working with Matt for the last couple months, I can wholeheartedly say it was the best decision I made and I cannot recommend Matt enough. From day one, we sat down and assessed the injury and came up with a gameplan. I made clear my intentions and what I was looking for and Matt listened and outlined a complete timeline of what he looked to do each session, and summarized the recovery from start to finish. Throughout the process, he was always intently looking to me for feedback to ensure I was getting everything I was looking for and inquiring if I wanted to pivot or tweak the scope of a session. Not only is Matt extremely attentive, he's very communicative and willing to give video feedback in real time and correct form/technique to better serve you in long term recovery. Dont hesitate to give Matt and Total Pursuit a try!

If you are thinking about going anywhere else, don’t. Dr. Matt is awesome. He will work with you in all aspects of your recovery and get you back to where you want to be and more! I went to Dr. Matt for pre-treatment for my upcoming Shoulder surgery. After only three days, I was at 90% rotation and no pain whatsoever and back on my feet. The work we did previous to my surgery has decreased my recovery by months!

I went to see Dr.Matt after struggling with shoulder and bicep pain in my right arm. I had very limited use of my right arm without pain. Dr. Matt assessed my concern.we came up with a game plan on treatment, and within a couple weeks I regained 90% of the motion back without any pain. I am confident that when our treatment plan wraps up I will have full motion completely pain free.

I’ve had the chance to get to know Dr. Matt Buch through our local networking group, and he’s someone who really stands out for his character and integrity. Matt is the kind of person who is genuine, honest, and always looking to do right by others. He shows up consistently, supports the people around him, and brings a high level of professionalism to everything he does. You can tell he truly cares about helping people and takes pride in his work. Even though I haven’t personally used his services, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him based on the way he carries himself and the reputation he’s built. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, Matt and Total Pursuit are a great choice.

I was born with infant torticollis and I had neck and middle back pains along with my hips needing to be adjusted. Been going to the chiropractor for 16 years and I feel way more relief now that I have been seeing Dr. Matt. Even after this huge blizzard we just had, I would normally feel a lot of lower back pain and I had minimal soreness after shoveling and snow blowing the last couple days. Would highly recommend! 👍🏻

I needed help. Had a bad sciatic episode this past winter where walking was a chore. With Dr buch's expertise and the exercises we worked on, I was able to enjoy the latter part of the ice fishing season pain free. A true professional, and a student of his craft, I would highly recommend total pursuit to anyone dealing with musculoskeletal issues. Thank you Matt!

Matt customized my therapy to really fit my progress and goals. I could not sleep on my shoulder and was in pain with simple tasks such as putting on a jacket or backpack. I am nearly pain free now and my strength is coming back as well. I am 61 and again participating in activities I thought I may have to give up such as bow hunting. Thanks Matt

Dr Matt is exceptional! I herniated two discs in my lower back and went through 8 months of insurance approved PT through my doctor, including three rounds of steroid treatments (two oral and one spinal). While I certainly had made progress and appreciated the care I received, I had no idea how to avoid injury again or what to do next. After months of searching, I met Dr Matt at a wellness event and booked a consultation. How wonderful to find someone willing to guide an ordinary Joe to strengthen and rehabilitate beyond simply being functional! Dr Matt is patient, responsive, thorough, and clearly explains what we’re doing and how it applies. Thank you, Dr Matt, for helping me get stronger and regain confidence in what my body is capable of doing. I know my journey is not complete but I am grateful to have you and your expertise in my corner.

I went to see Dr. Matt after struggling with back issues for years and finding little relief through traditional treatments. From the initial assessment, he took a thorough and thoughtful approach. Instead of just addressing symptoms, he focused on improving strength and stability in the areas surrounding my back that had been neglected due to long-term pain. The results have been tremendous. I’m stronger, more stable, and finally moving in the right direction. I highly recommend Dr. Matt to anyone dealing with ongoing issues.
