Sports Physical Therapy in Bloomfield Township, MI
You want to get back on the field, the court, the course or the platform. Not back to daily activities. Back to your sport, at the level you were at, without the injury coming back three weeks later.
That is what sports physical therapy at Optimize is built for.
Who we work with
- High school athletes in Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, West Bloomfield and Troy, including football, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball and wrestling.
- Adult athletes including lifters, runners, golfers, tennis and pickleball players and rec league players.
- Post-surgical athletes coming back from ACL, meniscus, shoulder or ankle surgery.
Our founder, Dr. Zaki Afzal, has worked with professional athletes across the NFL and WNBA. Every athlete at our Bloomfield Township clinic gets that same standard of care.
How it works
A real evaluation.
Sixty minutes, one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We test how you move, how you load, and where you are compensating, not just where it hurts.
Treat the cause.
Hands-on treatment where it helps, plus strength and movement work that addresses why it happened.
Rebuild for your sport.
Strength, power, speed, change of direction and conditioning that match what your sport actually asks of you.
Prove you are ready.
Return-to-sport testing before you go back, so you know you are ready instead of guessing.
Keep it that way.
Our performance coaches work down the hall, so the handoff from rehab to full training happens in the same building.
Common injuries we treat
- ACL, meniscus and other knee injuries.
- Ankle sprains and Achilles problems.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral for sports physical therapy in Michigan?
No. In Michigan you can start physical therapy without a prescription for an evaluation and up to 21 days or 10 visits of treatment, whichever comes first.
Can my high school athlete be seen without a parent there?
For patients under 18, a parent or guardian needs to complete the intake and consent. We would love to have a parent at the first visit so everyone hears the plan.
How soon can I get back to my sport?
It depends on the injury and your sport. After your first visit you will know what the plan looks like and what has to happen before you are cleared.
Do you work with athletes after surgery?
Yes. We handle post-surgical rehab from early recovery through return-to-sport testing.
