Sports Injuries

 

 

Athletes come in all shapes, sizes and ages. They are runners, joggers, swimmers, cyclists, golfers, ball players, skaters, tennis players, bowlers, and weight lifters.

 

Some of their sports injuries result from direct trauma; others from overuse. After many miles or hours of sport, you can develop tendon, ligament and joint pain. Evaluating injured tissue is just the beginning of your rehab. NY Physical Therapy & Wellness (NYPT&W) has highly trained, licensed physical therapists who are experienced at identifying the causes of your pain, too.

 

Whether you suffer from training errors, improper equipment, muscle tightness, weakness or mechanical imbalances, our veteran professionals will examine you, listen to you and rehabilitate you. We’ll get you back in action as quickly and safely as possible.

 

That’s why we emphasize early rehab. We typically begin pre- and post-rehab treatment by reducing inflammation and swelling, increasing circulation, relaxing muscles, preventing atrophy and decreasing pain. Some of the sports-related injuries and conditions we treat include: 

 

We also offer pre- and postsurgical therapy. Our goal is to maximize your function. Even if you can’t return to 100% function, we want you to perform as close to your potential as possible. We’ll show you the correct body mechanics to prevent reinjury and keep you active.
