How Recreational Athletic Therapy Helps Treat Sports Injury

​

Sports demand high tolerance and excessive energy in a player’s performance. This highly competitive framework often deters the human body from performing to the best of its ability. When athletes push themselves to their limits, they are more likely to get an injury. Those injuries may not be obvious at first, but they might cause more damage eventually. Such invisible yet detrimental injuries may require a professional assessment from an athletic therapist.

The trusted and certified athletic therapists at Ottawa-Carleton Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Center are trained to assess and treat various sports injuries and several other orthopedic problems. With a firm understanding of the human body, our athletic therapists are skilled in identifying areas of weakness or other areas of constraints.

 

To treat sports injuries, athletes will undergo specified reconditioning exercises. Along with this, athletes are treated with soft tissue mobilization techniques. This gives your body an optimal environment for fast healing, allowing you to quickly return to the field of sports. That's not all about the benefits of this therapy. Athletic therapy is an effective technique used to treat both chronic and acute pain.

Ottawa-Carleton Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Center treats acute injuries, chronic injuries, tennis and golfer’s elbow, tendinosis, back pains and carpal tunnel syndrome among others. Get in touch with us today to make an appointment!

Signs You Need Sports Physiotherapy

​

Physiotherapy can be used by athletes to maintain an optimal level of physical performance. Not only that, but it can also address the injuries acquired by playing sports successfully. Some common signs that you might benefit from sports physiotherapy are:

 

• Pain during physical activity: Persistent pain while performing physical activity can indicate an injury. We can identify the source of this pain and provide you with personalized physiotherapy.

• Trouble with balance: Have you noticed that you often have problems with your balance or coordination? This might be caused by issues related to your inner ear.

• Stiffness: Physiotherapy might benefit you if you have problems while carrying out routine activities such as bending down to tie your shoes or reaching for a plate in your cabinet.

• Medication not working: You might be taking painkillers to manage your physical pain. However, there might come a point where the medication does nothing to help. When that happens, physiotherapy can provide you with a solution.

• Trouble sleeping: As an athlete, your sleep is important. However, if you find that you're unable to sleep because of your physical pain, you should consider visiting a sports physiotherapist.
