Meet Dr. Gary Blackburn

Dr. Gary Blackburn has spent decades helping people move better, feel better, and get clearer answers about what may be causing their pain.

His background includes sports medicine, clinical neuroscience, concussion care, and rehabilitation. He began his work in patient care as an Army Medic and has since worked with professional athletes, including the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers, while continuing thousands of hours of advanced training along the way.

At Rebound SportsMed, that experience is brought into everyday care for people right here in Kent. The goal is simple: listen well, look deeper, and create a plan that makes sense for the person, not just the pain.

What personalized care actually looks like at our office

Personalized care means taking the time to understand more than just where it hurts.

It means looking at how you are moving, what may be contributing to the problem, how long it has been going on, and what your day-to-day life actually looks like.

No two people walk in with the exact same story, even when the pain sounds similar. That is why care should match the person, not just the symptom.

At Rebound SportsMed, we focus on care that makes sense for your body, your needs, and your goals.

Back pain that keeps coming back? There may be a reason for it.

If your back pain settles down for a few days, then flares up all over again, it may be time to look a little deeper.

In many cases, recurring back pain is connected to the way your body is moving, the stress certain areas are taking on, or patterns that never fully got addressed in the first place.

That is why we look beyond the pain itself and work to understand what may be contributing to it.

If back pain has been slowing you down, let’s get down to the bottom of it.

Veterans with Shoulder Problems:

Shoulder injuries are common after years of overhead work and training.

Proper assessment can address what condition the shoulder is actually in.

Can you really attain a full reach envelope ? Is it pain-free ?

Are the stabilizers doing their full job ?

Besides the four muscles of the rotator cuff - there are about 17 muscle muscles that cross the shoulder in total .

MRI studies of normal people reveal partial tears in the rotator cuff in people over 35

So to say it differently -

It is fairly common to have minor tears

So if you do have shoulder pain ?

And have you been told you have sprains strains and minor tears - But - you are non-surgical ?

We may be able to help you understand your shoulder better and get it to be higher performing with less pain.
