Sports Physical Therapy and Performance in Olathe, KS
Every visit is one full hour, 1-on-1 with Dr. Alexander Smith, PT, DPT, SCS, Olathe's only Board-Certified Sports Clinical Specialist.* Serving athletes and active adults in Olathe, Lenexa, Overland Park, Leawood, and the greater Kansas City area.
Injury Rehab and Post-Surgical Recovery
For active adults and athletes who are hurt, fresh out of surgery, or tired of pain that keeps coming back. You get a specific diagnosis, a plan built around your goals, and progressions that get you back to the training, sports, and life you love.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
ACL rehab, meniscus tear recovery, rotator cuff physical therapy, sprained ankle treatment, and low back pain in active adults. Rehab is paced to your recovery and built to get you back stronger, not just pain-free.
Post-Operative Orthopedic Rehab
The weeks after surgery shape the result. Instead of splitting your hour with three other patients, you get undivided, 1-on-1 attention from a residency-trained specialist through every phase, from protecting the repair to returning to full activity.
Overuse and Tendonitis Treatment
Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendon pain, and other nagging issues that rest alone hasn't fixed. We find what's overloading the tissue and build its capacity back up so you can keep training.
Performance and Return to Sport
For athletes and active adults who want more than getting back to baseline. Care that bridges the gap between rehab and high-level performance, from a PT who actually understands your sport.
Performance Physical Therapy and Strength & Conditioning
Expert coaching on the big lifts (squat, deadlift, and bench) and collegiate-level strength programming, from a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and USA Weightlifting coach with a clinician's eye on how you move. Built to keep you lifting heavy for decades.
Running Gait Analysis and Endurance Rehab
A detailed look at your running mechanics, plus the strength and mobility behind them. Whether you're prepping for a 10K, half marathon, or marathon, or coming back from a running injury, the goal is to get you back to running pain-free and racing with confidence.
Return-to-Sport Testing
An objective, data-driven clearance process that measures strength, power, and movement to answer the real question: is this athlete ready? It's built on residency training and ACL research, so the decision rests on numbers, not the calendar.
Throwing Athlete Assessment
A 60-minute, 1-on-1 Full Athlete Assessment for baseball and softball players. It covers shoulder strength in multiple positions, shoulder blade strength, and range of motion at the shoulder, mid-back, hips, and ankles, plus pitching analysis and a written plan.
Medical Fitness Personal Training
1-on-1 training for people whose injury, surgery, or health history makes a typical gym or trainer a risky fit. You're coached by a Doctor of Physical Therapy who understands your history, so you can keep building strength and fitness with confidence after rehab ends.
Recovery and Manual Therapy
Hands-on and targeted recovery tools, always used as part of a full plan rather than on their own.
Dry Needling
Targeted treatment for muscle pain, tightness, and trigger points that limit how you train, delivered by a certified Functional Dry Needling (FDN-1) provider.
Manual Therapy and Myofascial Release
Hands-on joint and soft tissue techniques to reduce pain and restore motion, paired with exercise so the gains stick.
Marc Pro Recovery
Marc Pro produces strong but non-fatiguing muscle contractions that act like a pump, boosting circulation to help clear metabolic waste and reduce muscle soreness after hard training. It's active recovery without adding training load, so you're ready for your next workout, game, or race sooner.
Active Recovery Sessions
Guided mobility, light movement, and recovery work to keep you fresh between hard training days and competitions.
