Sports Injury Rehabilitation

“Nobody plays sports expecting to get injured, but unfortunately, injuries are part of sports,”

The term “sports injury” refers to the kinds of injuries that most commonly occur during sports or exercise, but they are not limited to athletes. Factory workers get tennis elbow, painters get shoulder injuries, and gardeners develop tendinitis, even though they may not participate in sports. A player who is injured be isolated from their sports community.The ultimate goal of the rehabilitation process is to limit the extent of the injury, reduce or reverse the impairment and functional loss, and prevent, correct or eliminate altogether the disability. We facilitate rehabilitation of the injury and a successful return to the field of play.

These are the phases of rehabilitation.

• Phase 1 - Control Pain and Swelling
• Phase 2 - Improve Range of Motion and/or Flexibility
• Phase 3 - Improve Strength & Begin Proprioception/Balance Training
• Phase 4 - Proprioception/Balance Training & Sport-Specific Training
• Phase 5 - Gradual Return to Full Activity
