Benefits of Physical Therapy for Sports Injuries
Our physical therapists are movement experts. After a thorough evaluation of your condition, they will help you reach your goals by creating an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
Your recovery plan may include manual therapy, stretching to improve balance and mobility, and strengthening exercises for the affected area and surrounding tissues to improve range of motion and reduce scar tissue.
What Types of Sports Injuries Can Physical Therapy Help With?
The most common types of sports injuries include:
- Sprains: When a ligament that connects one bone to another is stretched beyond its normal limits, a sprain occurs. Once a sprain happens, it’s more likely to happen again.
- Knee injuries: The knee is the most complex joint in the body and also one of the most commonly injured. Knee problems can range from minor aches that radiate from the hip to the knee, to more serious issues such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.
- Strains or “muscle pulls”: A strain, also known as a muscle pull, occurs when a tendon that connects muscle to bone stretches the muscle beyond its limits. Once overstretched, the tendon is more likely to be injured again.
- Shin splints: This pain is typically caused by stress placed on the shinbone and the surrounding connective tissues. Shin splints are painful and often debilitating, but they can be prevented by wearing proper footwear, warming up before exercise, and strengthening the core and leg muscles.
