Are nagging injuries holding you back in the box? Whether it’s shoulder pain during overhead lifts, low back tension from deadlifts, or knee discomfort in squats — I help CrossFit athletes in Iowa City stay in the gym and train smarter through injury.
Why CrossFit Athletes Need a Different Kind of Rehab
Typical rehab often falls short for CrossFitters. You’re told to “just rest,” avoid lifting, or stop kipping — advice that doesn’t fit your training goals.
At Slight Edge Physical Therapy, I provide sport-specific rehab that keeps you moving while resolving the root cause of your pain.
Common CrossFit Injuries I Treat:
- Shoulder pain (snatches, overhead squats, muscle-ups)
- Low back pain (deadlifts, kettlebell swings, GHD work)
- Knee pain (front squats, pistols, box jumps)
- Wrist strain (clean & jerks, handstands, front rack work)
- Hip tightness or impingement (squatting, Olympic lifts)
My Approach:
✔ Movement-Based Assessment – I use the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to find the true source of dysfunction, not just chase symptoms.
✔ Hands-On, One-on-One Care – No techs or cookie-cutter exercises. You’ll work directly with a licensed PT.
✔ Progressive Loading – I’ll modify, not eliminate, your lifts so you keep training without making the problem worse.
What Athletes Are Saying:
“I finally hit a PR on my clean and jerk after 6 months of shoulder pain. After a few sessions of tweaking my form, loosening up my muscles, and doing unique strengthening exercises, I wish I would have come sooner. This is real rehab for real athletes.”
