 What Westlake Athletes Say About Bridge Rehab

  • I had surgery on a broken ankle exactly 4 months ago today. I play pickleball professionally, and the thought of rehabbing an injury like this and returning to competition at 32 years old was certainly daunting. Erin has been nothing short of amazing. She has helped me rebuild my strength and athleticism, and I have no doubt I will come out from this injury stronger than I ever was before.

     Wade H

  • Kyle and his team do an incredible job. The physical therapy and cupping has helped me with back and hip pain and stiffness. The sauna and cold plunge is amazing for recovery! I love the variety of what we do and I feel amazing immediately afterward, but more importantly for days and weeks.

    Michael M.

  • Dr. Kyle truly cares about his patients' well-being—he listens, explains, and creates a plan that actually works. The space itself is phenomenal and instantly puts you in a mindset of healing and wellness. They also do amazing work with athletes, whether you're a pro or a high school student looking to perform at your best.

Ankle Pain Physical Therapy FAQs

  • Recovery timelines vary based on injury severity and your goals. Acute ankle sprains may see significant improvement in 4-6 weeks, while chronic instability or post-surgical cases may take 8-12 weeks to return to full sport performance. We create personalized timelines during your initial evaluation and adjust as you progress.

  • We're performance-based, not just pain-focused. While traditional PT may stop at pain reduction, we rebuild strength, power, and movement quality so you return to sport stronger and more resilient. We use advanced techniques like dry needling, cupping, ART, and movement analysis—plus recovery tools like sauna and cold plunge—that most clinics don't offer.

  •  Our ankle pain treatment includes hands-on manual therapy, Active Release Technique (ART), dry needling for trigger points, dynamic cupping to improve mobility, movement analysis (SFMA) to identify compensations, sport-specific strengthening and balance training, and running/gait analysis for athletes. We customize every treatment to your specific injury and performance goals.
