Return to Sport Care After Knee Surgery

Unleash Your Inner Alpha

Welcome to Alpha Wolf Athletics

If your knee is the reason you can’t train, compete, or move the way you used to, you’re in the right place.

Whether you’ve been cleared after surgery but don’t feel ready for sport, or you’re still dealing with knee pain that keeps coming back, the problem is the same: Your body hasn’t been prepared for the actual demands of performance.

At Alpha Wolf Athletics, we bridge the gap between rehab and sport by building strength, control, and confidence where it matters most—so you can get back to cutting, sprinting, and competing without hesitation.

Testimonials

Working with Dr. Skipper is an absolute must for any athlete! As a pro athlete, my knee health is one of the most important aspects of improving my performance and longevity in my sport and Dr. Skipper’s approach is well above and beyond traditional sports PT in one of those corporate clinics. She is creative and consistent at progressing the exercises so I always feel challenged and never get bored. The virtual format makes it easy for us to communicate and for me to keep up with my exercises and know I’m doing them correctly. I highly recommend her for any athlete wanting to improve their confidence and performance post-injury and get back to their sport at an even higher level than before.

Dr Emily Skipper in incredibly knowledgeable with all things performance and physical therapy. That was my first impression when I first started working with her and it’s only been affirmed through time. I’ve worked with her for 6 months now as I was healing my bucket handle meniscus tear and she brought me back to the high level of performance that my hobbies and pursuits demand! For reference, I participate in multiple mountain sports (climbing, snowboarding, mtn biking, trail running) as well as regular weightlifting and conditioning. I’ve now elected to work with her to keep me healthy as I prepare for the Leadville 100 next year. If you’re looking to fix an injury, or nagging issue, or just want to take your performance to the next level, Dr Skipper will create a personalized program to get you where you want to be!

From my first session with Dr. Skipper, I knew I had found something rare. Dr. Skipper has an extraordinary ability to pinpoint the root of an issue and design treatment that delivers immediate, lasting impact.
I came to her with debilitating knee pain after a marathon. Just walking was unbearable! Within two weeks under her care, I was not only pain-free but back on the starting line of a half marathon. That kind of turnaround is nothing short of remarkable.
Dr. Skipper brings unmatched expertise and precision to every session. Her tailored recovery efforts and plans ensure healing happens on time and with purpose, so training and competition don’t have to take a back seat.
For athletes serious about their healing and performance, Dr. Skipper is going to be your best bet!
