Basketball Rehab & Performance in Miami
Get back on the court quick, explosive and confident. Not just pain-free.
I can relate to you because I am you
Dr. Evan Motlong, PT, DPT, CSCS, played basketball and has had two knee surgeries himself. He knows what it's like to be told you're fine and still not trust your body on the court.
The injuries that keep players off the court
ACL
Cleared isn't ready. We get you strong and explosive enough to cut, land and jump again.
More details
Most players we see have already been cleared but still feel weak or hesitant. We test both legs, find the gaps and close them before you go back to full games.
Meniscus
Get back to cutting, landing and jumping without your knee holding you back.
More details
We test your strength, power and how you land and cut, compare one leg to the other, and build your plan from those numbers.
Ankle sprains
Rest makes the pain go away. It doesn't bring back your quickness.
More details
Most players rest an ankle sprain and go straight back to playing. The swelling goes down, but the strength, power and quickness in that leg don't come back on their own. We rebuild them and test them before you're back in games.
Foot injuries
Get back to pushing off, jumping and landing with confidence.
More details
Same approach: find what's limiting you, rebuild it, and prove it with testing before you return to full play.
We train what basketball actually tests
Quickness
First step and reaction.
Power
Explosive drives and finishes.
Change of direction
Cutting and defending without hesitation.
Rebound jumping
Getting off the floor again and again, fast.
Criteria-based, not timeline-based
We always assess and never guess. You go back when your testing shows your injured side is within 90% of your other side for strength, power, change of direction and movement quality. Not when the calendar says so.
Common questions
I sprained my ankle. Should I just rest it?
Rest lets the pain settle, but it doesn't bring back your strength, power and quickness. Get it evaluated so you know what's missing before you go back to full games.
When can I play again after an ACL injury?
It's criteria-based, not timeline-based. You go back when your strength, power, change of direction, how fast you produce force and movement quality all test within 90% of your other side. Not when a certain number of months has passed.
Do you work with high school players?
Yes. We work with basketball players from youth and high school through college and pro.
