So how do you know if you need prehab? For physical therapists like Chris Delehanty, owner of Physiofitness in New York City, that’s like asking how you know if you need to go to the dentist. “You get a checkup to prevent cavities, right? This is the same idea,” he says. “It’s not just for injured old people or for post surgery, it’s for an athlete. You can get a basic functional movement assessment, then get a plan to stay healthier and in your sport longer. That can happen in one session,” says Delehanty. He laughs, “We’re not shoveling any shit here.”
