I went to Greiner Physical Therapy due to severe and debilitating shoulder blade pain that would not go away for several weeks, and was caused by vaccination. I was impressed by my therapist, Peter, because he was very knowledgeable and caring. After a short while, I was finally feeling better. Thank you, Peter. I highly recommend Greiner Physical Therapy.

Seth has been amazing! When getting hurt from skiing and popping off my ACL, I was super scared, in pain and feeling helpless. After 6 months of him and his teammate Anthony I am feeling confident to go on with my life. I’m able to run without pain. I’m so grateful for him. I highly recommend him and his staff. He really cares about me! That made a huge difference in my recovery.
Our approach is backed by science and proven results. Studies have shown that targeted rehabilitation can reduce injury recurrence rates by up to 50% in strength athletes. By combining cutting-edge techniques with time-tested methods, we’ve helped countless lifters not only recover but come back stronger than ever.
Here’s what sets our Weightlifting Rehab program apart:
- Personalized Assessment: We start with a thorough evaluation of your movement patterns, strength imbalances, and injury history. This allows us to create a rehab plan that’s as unique as your lifting style.
- Targeted Treatment: Using advanced techniques like manual therapy, dry needling, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, we address the specific tissues and joints affected by your injury.
- Progressive Loading: We don’t believe in complete rest. Our program gradually reintroduces loaded movements, ensuring your tissues heal under the right amount of stress.
- Form Refinement: Through video analysis and hands-on coaching, we help you perfect your lifting technique, reducing the risk of future injuries.
- Comprehensive Strengthening: We focus on building strength not just in the injured area, but throughout your kinetic chain to create a more resilient, balanced physique.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recover from a weightlifting injury with rehab?
Recovery time varies depending on the nature and severity of your injury, as well as your dedication to the rehab process. However, most lifters see significant improvements within 4-6 weeks of starting our program. Some may be cleared to return to full training within this time frame, while more severe injuries may require 8-12 weeks of rehabilitation.

Absolutely! In fact, controlled lifting is often a crucial part of the rehabilitation process. The key is finding the right balance and modifying your training appropriately. Here’s how we approach it:
- Initial Assessment: We determine which movements are safe and beneficial for your current condition.
- Modified Training: We’ll create a program that allows you to train around your injury, maintaining strength and muscle mass in unaffected areas.
- Gradual Progression: As you heal, we systematically reintroduce and load the affected movements, ensuring your body adapts safely.
- Technique Refinement: Throughout the process, we’ll use lighter loads to perfect your form, setting you up for safer, more effective lifting when you return to full training.
