Your feet fall rhythmically in step as you run. Your body moves with effortless focus until a stray rock rolls under your arch. Your ankle turns, and you tumble onto your side. Pain ends the training session, and you go home for some rest, ice, compression, and elevation. When you get hurt while exercising, ice packs and wraps aren’t always enough. To get back in the game, you may need sports injury rehabilitation.

What are Sports Injuries? 

Sports injuries are bodily harm or damage that occurs during recreation, exercise, or athletic events. They are often caused by accident or direct impact. However, a lack of proper warm-up, stretching, form, or equipment use can also lead to training injuries. If you are hurt while working out, seek medical attention—untreated injuries can lead to more significant future problems. 

What is Sports Injury Rehabilitation?

Recovering from sports injuries requires a multi-disciplinary approach to prevention, evaluation, and treatment. The goal is to restore the athlete to optimal form and function. With the right therapy, some clients return to the game better than ever. Once the injury is accurately diagnosed, a sports injury specialist can work with the athlete to develop an individualized treatment plan involving manual therapy techniques and strengthening exercises.
