Sports injuries can affect how you move, train, and compete. Our physical therapists help address the pain and movement limitations associated with common athletic injuries.
The knee is one of the body’s most complex joints and one of the most commonly injured. Problems can range from aches and pains running from the hip to the knee to more serious concerns such as an ACL rupture.
A strain occurs when the tendon connecting muscle to bone is stretched beyond its breaking point. After being overstretched, the tendon may be more likely to be strained again.
Shin splints are pain caused by tension on the shinbone and underlying connective tissue. Appropriate footwear, warming up before exercise, and stretching can help with prevention.
A sprain occurs when a ligament connecting one bone to another is overstretched. Proper rehabilitation can help address a sprain and reduce the risk of recurring problems.
Our physical therapists are experts in physical movement and optimal function. Your care plan may include manual therapy, stretching to improve balance and mobility, and strengthening exercises to improve range of motion and reduce scar tissue.
