The Benefits of Physical Therapy for Sports Injuries
Physical therapy can be extremely beneficial for sports injuries in several ways. At LI PT & Rehab, our physical therapists have extensive knowledge and experience in how people move. After a complete evaluation of your condition, they will develop a treatment plan customized to your unique needs.
Your rehabilitation plan might include manual therapy, stretching and balance exercises to improve mobility, and strength-training exercises to improve the affected area and surrounding areas. This will help you regain your range of motion and prevent scar tissue formation.
What Types of Sports Injuries Can PT Help?
These are the most common types of sports injuries:
Sprain
A sprain occurs when a ligament connecting two bones is put under excessive strain, making it more vulnerable to recurrence if it has previously been injured.
Knee injuries
The knee is a complex joint that is susceptible to injury. Knee problems can vary from minor discomfort to more serious issues such as ACL tears. Knee injuries can be extremely debilitating and often very complex to treat. If you’re experiencing any knee pain, it’s important to seek professional help. You can get back to enjoying your life without pain with the right treatment.
Pulled muscle
Muscle strain, also called a “pulled muscle,” happens when the tendon that connects the muscle to the bone pulls the muscle past its limits. After the tendon has been stretched too far, it is more likely to be pulled again.
Shin splints
This pain is usually caused by stress on the shinbone and the connective tissues below it. Shin splints are painful and often make it hard to move. You can avoid them by wearing the right shoes, warming up before exercise, and building your heart and leg muscles.
