How did my sports injury occur?
“Sports injury” is a term that can be used to describe any injury sustained while exercising or performing some sort of athletic activity. There are two ways in which sports injuries can occur: suddenly, such as one football player colliding with another, or over time, through repetitive motions, such as improperly lifting heavy weights at the gym or running in ill-fitted shoes. Simply put, anything that results in pain while performing physical activity can be considered a sports injury.
Whether you rolled your ankle on the soccer field, swung your bat too aggressively on the baseball diamond, or strained your back while hiking your favorite trail, Mobility Project Physical Therapy can help you find relief. Your treatment plan will be dependent upon the nature of your injury, your health history, and whether or not the injury requires surgical intervention. If you’ve sustained a sports injury, please contact us as soon as possible. Any injury left untreated can become more severe over time.
Common types of sports injuries
It is possible for any number of injuries to occur during athletic activity. However, the 4 most common sports injuries include:
Shin splints
injuries
Sprains
Strains or pulled muscles
Find relief for your sports injury with physical therapy
Our physical therapists are movement specialists, fully equipped in creating the best-personalized treatment plan for your needs. At your initial appointment, you will undergo a comprehensive evaluation to assess your injury. This helps us decide the best course of action for treatment. Some diagnostic tests, such as an X-ray or MRI may be recommended, in order to determine the root cause of your pain, so we can come to the best possible solution for your recovery.
Treatment plans take into account the nature of your injury, your lifestyle, your fitness level, and any health risks you may have. They typically consist of strengthening exercises, stretches, and manual therapy, as described below:
- Strengthening exercises – used to enhance the injured and surrounding areas.
- Stretches – used to improve balance and mobility.
- Manual therapy – used to increase your range of motion and reduce scar tissue.
These are all done in order to help you recover after your sports injury and to prevent further injury from occurring in the future.
