Sports Physical Therapy & Sports Injury Physical Therapy
One on One Physical Therapists draw their Sports Physical Therapy experiences from working with both amateur and professional athletes of all ages. Weekend warriors and professional athletes alike are treated with the most up to date techniques to help them get back in the game quickly and safely.
Sports Physical Therapy includes injury prevention, treatment of sports injuries and progression of the athlete to optimal performance. Treatment also includes advice on the use of protective devices, taping and braces. One on One PTs collaborate with the athlete’s coaches, trainers and other medical professionals to provide a team approach to the athlete’s care. Transition back to sport or training is facilitated by the physical therapist and their vast resources both within the facility and community for coaching, personal training and continued wellness.
A majority of sports injuries are from overuse; treatment includes a careful approach to identify all of the contributing factors. A comprehensive understanding of biomechanics and kinesiology plays an important role in the evaluation and treatment of sports injuries.
On the field experience combined with superior clinical skills in a nurturing, professional setting, one on one, allows the athlete to return to his or her sport ready to perform at the highest level.
Youth Sports Medicine & Youth Orthopedics
Sports-related injuries are on the rise in children and adolescents. Recent reports indicate that over 1 million sports injuries are treated in the emergency room each year. A child is taken to the emergency room every 25 seconds, with 12 percent of cases related to concussion.
At One on One Physical Therapy, we understand that each child and teen has unique youth sports medicine, physical therapy and wellness needs with regard to their growing bodies. During a growth spurt, a child or adolescent’s body is especially susceptible to particular injuries. Our youth sports medicine & orthopedic specialists have the expertise to handle the needs of the growing body, including how to manage injuries related to growth plates. The physical therapists at One on One Physical Therapy regularly engage in continuing education to stay updated on the latest treatments for youth sports injuries.
Kids and teens are not “small adults”; they think and process information differently. We tailor each treatment session to reflect the demands of each patient’s social, psychological, or emotional needs. We incorporate age-appropriate sports-specific exercise or education into every treatment session.
Strength Training
The Physical Therapists at One on One PT believe movement is medicine and that you have to stress your body to progress. We implement a “know pain, know gain” methodology. Strength training plays an important role in rehabilitation. So whether you run, cycle, play tennis, or participate in CrossFit, we can help you.
We focus on reducing your pain and enhancing your mobility in the early stages of rehab. In order to progress and get you back to the sports and activities you love, we will then incorporate strength training into your rehabilitation.
Strength training has been shown to enhance muscle strength and control, VO2 max, running and cycling efficiency, glucose regulation, vascular function, and aid in the treatment of osteoporosis.
If you sit on the toilet or sit at a desk during the day, you performed a squat. It is important that everyone be able to perform them pain free. Picking up small children is like a dead lift. In order to optimize fitness we incorporate functional exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and steps ups into the rehabilitation process.
Have you ever hadneck pain, back pain or your back went out while lifting? Strengthening your body with deadlifts will help your back get stronger which in turn minimizes your risk for a future back injury.
Whether you’re trying to add 20 lbs to your clean and jerk, improve your off-season training regimen, or care for your children without back pain, training these functional movements are imperative to keeping you strong and healthy.
Outpatient Physical Therapy
Treating Post-Operative Orthopedic Procedures or outpatient therapy is the specialty of physical therapy most often found in the outpatient therapy clinical setting. Orthopedic therapists are trained in the treatment of post-operative orthopedic procedures, fractures, acute sports injuries, arthritis, sprains, strains, back and neck pain, spinal conditions, and amputations.
We address mobility defects, tissue and nerve dysfunction, and look at movement patterns to determine our treatment approach. We utilize our vast training in advance manual techniques to restore efficient motion that is driving the impairment and give patients the tools to manage and progress on their own. Our manual approach can include joint mobilizations and manipulations, fascia and soft tissue release, laser therapy, trigger point dry needling, and tactile input to achieve proper movement patterns. Our physical interventions can include gait analysis, running assessment with video analysis, Redcord neuromuscular and strength training, Pilates, and general strength and conditioning.
We can treat all types of injuries and surgeries, including low back pain, overuse injuries, insidious onset pain, and ligament injuries, among others. Our clinics also are commonly sought out by individuals who have failed other conservative rehabilitation or unsuccessful surgeries.
Those who have suffered injury or disease affecting the muscles, bones, ligaments, or tendons will benefit from assessment by a physical therapist specialized in orthopedics.
Vestibular Therapy
Dizziness is a sensation that we have all probably experienced at some point in our life. However, when dizziness is no longer a transient feeling after a carnival ride and it impacts our ability to perform normal day to day things like driving, laying in bed, and walking in a grocery store, it becomes a huge burden.
To be clear: dizziness is not always the classic room-spinning sensation. It can also be described as floating, rocking, imbalance, fuzzy, and just plain weird.
Dizziness and imbalance can result from a litany of medical conditions. Wikipedia.
Your dizziness and imbalance could be due to one of the following: vestibular cochlear nerve injury, concussion, displacement of calcium crystals in your semicircular canal, vestibular migraines, neck pathology (whip-lash), Meniere’s disease, nervous system conditions, or motion sensitivity.
If you are suffering from dizziness or imbalance you should seek care from a Physical Therapist (PT) trained in Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). We are able to determine which components of your balance/vestibular system are affected and can assist in your recovery and improve your quality of life. If you are not a candidate for VRT, we can also help with a referral to the specialist you need.
Women’s Physical Therapy, Women’s Health and Obstetric Physical Therapy
Obstetric Physical Therapy helps women who are currently pregnant, or recently have been pregnant, continue to maintain an active lifestyle. During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes a series of physiological and anatomical changes. Everyday activities can become difficult, as their ligaments become more flexible and their center of gravity changes.
One on One Physical Therapy provides Obstetric Physical Therapy services that address the women’s health care needs that are unique across the lifespan.
Our physical therapists focus on movement patterns that decrease the strain on overloaded joints, while safely increasing core strength and postural education.
During pregnancy- our therapists will educate and train you on postural corrections and techniques to safely perform ADL’s, help you manage your pain through manual therapy and exercise, instruct you in strengthening and stabilization exercises to reduce the strain on your joints, and educate you on breathing techniques to utilize during labor.
After childbirth, typically 6 weeks postpartum, our therapists will complete a thorough assessment to determine how your body has been impacted by birth and work with you to reach your postpartum goals.
Our services may include neuromuscular training, lymph massage, manual therapy, exercise prescription and education on bowel and bladder health.

About One on One Physical Therapy
After years of treating patients in a typical group-based physical therapy setting, Karen Davis Warren, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, was inspired to create Atlanta’s best physical therapy practice. She established One on One Physical Therapy as an alternative to the conventional setting and method of treatment that placed more value in quantity than quality. One on One Physical Therapy adheres to the high standards set by the American Physical Therapy Association.
In today’s competitive healthcare world, it is very common for physical therapy clinics to have multiple patients treated at the same time by a single physical therapist. This is not only the common practice, but also the expectation in many instances. The increasing regulations of health insurance required for coverage of services dictates certain productivity standards that therapists are required to adhere to. This high volume model of treatment prevents each patient from receiving the best quality of care, and requires a higher number of visits to achieve therapeutic goals.
Patient-focused Physical Therapy
Warren recognized the flaws of this structure, and was inspired to do better, not only for herself, but also for her patients. She realized that above all else, is the needs of the patient. Providing private, individualized treatment allows the therapist to understand each patient’s condition in depth, and create a specialized treatment plan specific to their needs. These individualized treatment plans help manage pain and improve patient outcomes. She recognizes that each patient’s time is valuable, and through personalized sessions, the patient and the therapist can achieve faster, longer lasting results by working together. Ultimately, her vision was to offer patients high quality patient-centered care by delivering physical therapy services on a one-on-one basis, and consequently, she opened One on One Physical Therapy in 2004.
Physical Therapy in Atlanta GA for Over 20 Years
Upon its establishment, One on One was opened in northeast Atlanta, where it is still housed today. One on One has been growing steadily, with each new clinician bringing his or her own unique treatment philosophy and area of specialty practice.
Since starting One on One Physical Therapy Warren has continued to further her vision by creating wellness and performance programs. Patients can make a transition from rehabilitation to fitness without ever leaving the building. The Physical Therapists at One on One in Atlanta GA have also partnered with local fitness and wellness professionals within the Atlanta area and beyond, to provide resources to every patient as they are discharged from physical therapy.
