Xcel Sports Medicine

Our goal in the treatment of our patients is to restore them to their optimal state in the shortest time possible. We aim to improve our patients' quality of life and, if possible, prevent a recurrence of the issues that brought them to us initially.

Our primary aim is to assist with tissue repair and alleviate discomfort, gradually adding therapeutic activities as tolerated, taking care not to over challenge the affected area and cause aggravation.Therapeutic activities are a very important part of regaining functional strength, however, we feel that attempting to strengthen a painful area is not constructive.

We employ a variety of different approaches, not commonly used together in the United States. For example, the bulk of our therapy is based on the use of the therapists' hands to improve soft tissue dysfunction, reconfigure scar or fibrous tissue and improve joint range of motion using various manual therapy techniques, such as: Maitland, Kaltenborn, Cyriax, McKenzie, and the dry needling proponents of Travell and Baldry.

It is known that our clientele enjoys the ever-changing artwork painting all three of our Xcel reception areas. Our photos range from playful elephants in a watering bath to colorful natives weaving straw baskets outside of their homes. However a less-known story, yet just as colorful, is held by the woman behind the camera.

As a full-service physical therapy facility, Xcel provides care to individuals of all ages, and has three Dayton area locations to service you. With a special interest in sports, Xcel serves a variety of athletes from the professional, collegiate, and high school, to the youth, occasional, weekend warrior or senior participant.

Our goal is early, rapid return to optimal function for a variety of different conditions such as rotator cuff repair, meniscus repair, hip arthroscopy, ACL repair and foot/ankle surgeries to name a few. Rotator Cuff Tendonitis and Repair - 4 small muscles at the shoulder which stabilize the ball in the shoulder socket.
