Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction (UCLr) also known as Tommy John Procedure is an injury often seen in overhead athletes and Nevada Physical Therapy has been the region’s premier choice for managing these athletes back to their prior level of activity for decades. Having a clinician who works closely with the surgeon and the athlete to create a program focused on protecting the repair, optimizing mobility and function, and later, ensuring an appropriate training program is established to get these athletes back to their sport is essential. Goals of getting full extension back early to minimize scar tissue formation, building a secondary training program to maintain physical conditioning and energy system development, and setting a clear path to returning to sport are some of the things you can expect during your time at Nevada Physical Therapy.

The elbow is put under considerable strain when throwing or hitting at full intensity and building strength appropriate for the individual’s sporting demands can make all the difference in their ability to return to elite performance. From high school pitchers to professional athletes, we have the experience, knowledge, and equipment to maximize these outcomes. If you or your loved one has recently had an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction and would like to speak with a physical therapist about how we can help, we offer free phone consultations! With the right care and guidance, athletes having had Tommy John surgery can come back stronger than before.

Nick was so attentive to my needs and he structured his schedule to fit mine. My therapy was focused on my strengths and weaknesses; therefore, my recovery time was much shorter than expected. I highly recommend Nevada Physical Therapy for any lingering pain you may be experiencing.

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Came in with an ACL injury. I spent a few weeks working with jonathan. His evidence-based approach and motivational ability was really really inspiring. He helped me get back to normal and then some!

DAKOTA EZELL is at the top of MY list as a highly skilled, intuitive, present professional who values and treats me as a whole person, not just someone to fill a time slot

The best Physical Therapy place I have ever visited. Rare to see an emphasis on finding the best method to improve injury instead of giving everyone the same plan. But the best part about this place is it's approach to well being during and after PT.

I was referred to Brian Fearnley by someone with significant credibility. I consider working with Brian a huge stroke of luck. This specific 'PT' is increasing my recovery potential a hundred fold. Brian knows his stuff. He is well versed in PT. He has athletic history at UNR and is active in our local community. He is clearly in this profession to help people recover and get under their own power.

After two plus years of hip pain, three other physical therapists, quarterly injections and no relief, Crista made the pain go away! If I could give her and this practice 10 stars I'd do it!

As a professional athlete, injuries can make or break a career. Luckily, in my case, I had Nevada Physical Therapy on my side. Not only did they physically help me recover from a meniscus surgery, but they provided the best emotional support you could ask for in such a difficult time.

Phenomenal. I had some brutal injuries that resulted in four surgeries and seriously disrupted my life. There can be no doubt that the quality of life I enjoy today was a direct result of working with Nevada Physical Therapy.

I attended Nevada Physical Therapy for my post surgery physical therapy and have nothing but great things to say. For any of you reading this, this place is by far the best physical therapy place I have ever attended with exceptional staff. I had the pleasure to work with Dakota who is extremely knowledgeable, patient and would go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of.
