SPORTS INJURIES AND ITS REHABILITATION
Abstract
Rehabilitation is the restoration of optimal form (anatomy) and function (physiology)
Sports Physical Therapy utilized in rehabilitation, treatment, prevention, evaluation, performance and enhancement of the physically-active individual. Sports physical therapists are involved in evaluation of active and chronic injuries.
For athletes facing injury, the ultimate goal is to return them to their individualized sport. With traditional physical therapy, there is often a large gap between rehabilitation after an injury or surgery and returning to sports.
Bridge this gap from rehabilitation to return to sport to reduce re-injury and complications after surgery, as well as to improve sports performance. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment and will be in contact with all involved while getting you back to sport.
