Get Back in the Game with Expert Physiotherapy
Sports injuries can happen to anyone, whether you are a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who enjoys staying active. Injuries from athletic activity can limit your performance, cause pain, and even affect your daily life. At Silver Physio, we help you recover from sports injuries efficiently and safely, so you can return to your sport or activity with confidence and strength.
Why Do Sports Injuries Happen
Sports injuries occur when muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, or bones are subjected to stress beyond their capacity. These injuries can happen suddenly from trauma or overuse over time. Even activities like running, lifting, or stretching improperly can lead to strains, sprains, or other types of injuries. Immediate assessment and treatment are essential for faster recovery and preventing long-term complications.
Common Types of Sports Injuries
Strains or Pulled Muscles
Strains happen when a muscle or tendon is stretched too far. This can lead to pain, swelling, and a higher risk of reinjury. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and proper movement patterns.
Sprains
A sprain occurs when a ligament connecting two bones is overstretched or partially torn. Rehabilitation strengthens the surrounding structures and restores joint stability to prevent future injury.
Shin Splints
Also known as medial tibial stress syndrome, shin splints cause pain along the shinbone and surrounding tissues. Treatment involves stretching, strengthening, and proper footwear recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Knee Injuries
The knee is a complex joint vulnerable to overuse and trauma. Injuries can range from mild aches to ligament tears such as ACL injuries. Physiotherapy helps reduce pain, restore motion, and rebuild strength for a safe return to activity.
Other Common Injuries
Shoulder injuries, ankle sprains, and hip strains are also frequent in sports. Targeted rehabilitation addresses the affected areas while improving overall movement patterns and muscle coordination.
