Taking part in sports and recreational activities is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, injuries during sports are quite common, due to lack of proper equipment, lack of stretching or warming up before the activity, overuse of a body part, or acute trauma to a part of the body. Sports injuries can include contusion, fractures, and muscle and ligament strains, sprains and tears.
Physical therapy treatments for sports injuries may include, depending on the affected area, ultrasound, stretching, exercises, patient education about body mechanics, and pain management techniques.
