Common Sports Injuries Treated by Physiotherapy

About Sports & Injuries

The privilege of participating in sports is one that many people have and often take for granted. Sports can be beneficial for building character, learning teamwork and discipline, and also be the catalyst that drives future success. However, with so many potential benefits to participating in sports, there is always the possibility of enduring an injury that can change everything.

Common Sports Injuries

Although no athlete expects to get injured, the risk of it happening is part of the game. There are countless injuries that are possible, however there are certain types of injuries that are more typical when participating in sports. Some common sports injuries include:

Sprains & Strains

Sprains are injuries that involve stress placed on the ligaments that support a joint. Certain joints like the knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow and thumb are more susceptible to sprains. The degree of the injury can range from minor (stretched ligament) to severe (completely ruptured or torn).Strains are injuries that involve the tearing of a muscle, also called a “pulled muscle.” This type of injury can occur in any muscle, however it is more likely in larger muscles like the hamstrings, quadriceps, calf, groin, rotator cuff and lower back muscles that are used explosively or when changing speed or direction. Similar to sprains, muscle strains range from minor to severe.

Fractures

A fracture happens when a traumatic injury occurs to a bone, often caused by a collision or fall. Common sites for fractures include the forearm near (near the wrist), the upper thigh, the ankle, the upper arm (near the shoulder) and the hand. 

Psychological Chronic Pain Therapies

Psychological therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can also be used when managing chronic pain. These therapies can help people to better understand and manage their pain, improve their coping skills and improve their quality of life.

Concussions

A concussion is a serious injury to the brain that is caused by excessive impact to the head and skull. Concussions range in degree and symptoms depend largely on the severity of the injury. Injuries to the head and face should not be taken lightly, if an individual experiences a severe concussion or repeated concussions, symptoms can last for a year or possibly longer.

Overuse Injuries

Overuse injuries can occur when prolonged repetitive stress is placed on a specific joint, bone or tendon. These types of injuries are typically a result of overtraining, muscular imbalances, improper technique or structural misalignment. Common examples include tendonitis, bursitis, shin splints, stress fractures and joint pain mainly in the elbow or knee.

Physiotherapy for Sports Injuries

With so many possible injuries that can occur when participating in sports there must be a way to rehabilitate and prevent them as well. That’s where physiotherapy comes in, therapy for sports injuries will provide a diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation to help build strength, promote proper healing and prevent re-injury. Sports injury treatment may include various modalities such as exercises and manual therapy to help athletes recover from injuries and improve their overall fitness and function.

Sports injury treatment consists of treating and recovering from injuries that occurred during sports or physical activity. It typically includes a combination of physical therapy, exercises and other interventions aimed at restoring strength, mobility, flexibility and function to the injured area. The goal in sports injury physio is to help the athlete return to their sport or activity as soon as possible, while reducing the risk of future injuries.

Here at Magnus Rehab in Brampton our team is dedicated to offering top-quality rehabilitation and treatment services for athletes who have been injured while participating in sports or physical activity. We understand the importance of sport to the athlete and work to ensure they receive the appropriate care, so they can return to sport quickly and safely.

Along with rehabilitation treatment, we also educate the athlete about the specifics of their injury in order to prevent the same injury from recurring and avoid possible future injuries. We have found that this proactive approach is especially beneficial for athletes and their teams from a preventative perspective.

Every athlete is different and therefore requires an approach to treatment that acknowledges and honors their individuality. Magnus Rehab is here to support you along the journey to returning to sport better, stronger, faster and injury-free.
