Why Your Injury Keeps Coming Back: The Missing Link Most Edmond Athletes Overlook

The Frustration of Recurring Injuries

You take time off. You rest. You stretch. Maybe you even go through physical therapy—only for the pain to come back the moment you push your body again.

Recurring injuries don’t just wear on your body. They chip away at your confidence, interrupt your performance, and make you question if you’ll ever feel 100% again.

At Next Level Sports Performance & Therapy in Edmond, we help athletes of all ages and skill levels finally break the cycle by getting to the real root of the problem.

Why Does the Same Injury Keep Coming Back?

The truth is that most rehab plans stop short. They focus on treating the pain, not the problem.

That means:

  • You feel better temporarily

  • But the underlying movement issue stays the same

  • When you return to your sport, the pain comes right back

It’s not that your body can’t heal. It’s that the original rehab didn’t address the true cause—poor movement patterns, strength imbalances, joint restrictions, or coordination issues that remain under the surface.

What Makes Our Approach Different

At Next Level, our one-on-one model lets us dig deeper. We start with a detailed full-body movement assessment to uncover what others might have missed.

We look at:

  • Joint mobility and stability

  • Strength imbalances

  • Posture and mechanics during sport-specific movement

  • How your body handles load, stress, and fatigue

From there, we design a custom plan that not only helps you recover from injury but rebuilds better movement so the pain stays gone.

It’s More Than Rehab—It’s Rebuilding Trust in Your Body

We don’t just want your pain to go away—we want you to move confidently again.

That means:

  • Targeted strength and mobility work

  • Hands-on treatment to improve joint and tissue function

  • Neuromuscular control and balance training

  • Return-to-sport assessments to make sure you’re truly ready

This process helps you stop wondering, “Is it going to flare up again?” and start performing with freedom and power.

Real Stories from Edmond Athletes

Colton Bunney has fixed my hip recently with acupuncture and exercises. I can now run again instead of limping. A year or so ago Colton also fixed my frozen shoulder. I would recommend Colton for any sports related injury.”
