How Physical Therapy Can Prevent Sports Injuries

July 1, 2022

Whether you’re a professional or amateur athlete, sports activities – especially contact sports like football and ice hockey, or high-impact running sports like soccer and basketball – can easily cause injuries. In the event of a sports injury, you might have to undergo physical therapy (PT) in order to recover as quickly as possible.

Physical therapy is largely seen as the branch of physical medicine that focuses on restoring your body to its normal condition following surgery or an injury. You may need it to help you control chronic pain, improve your balance, and improve your mobility and performance.

However, physical therapy is a versatile science. If you are an athlete, a physical therapist can help you avoid sports injuries from recurring or help you prevent them from happening in the first place, by teaching you various techniques or helping to strengthen specific muscle groups.

Let’s talk about how physical therapy can help you avoid sports injuries, and where you can go in Jacksonville and throughout the U.S. to see a world-class physical therapist get physical therapy for injury prevention.

How Preventive Physical Therapy Can Help You Avoid a Sports Injury

Preventive physical therapy is geared toward keeping your body in its best shape, so you can avoid injury both in your daily activities and when you engage in athletics. A physical therapist can teach you the proper techniques to:

  • Improve your balance and stability
  • Warm-up and cool down completely before and after physical activity
  • Move properly while playing your sport
  • Enhance your muscle strength and alignment

When it comes to sports, proper body mechanics and technique are critical to keeping yourself in the game and free from injury. By learning the proper techniques and how to condition your muscles, ligaments, and tendons via your physical therapist, your risk of sustaining a painful and debilitating injury is significantly reduced.

How a Professional Physical Therapist Helps to Keep You Injury-Free

In addition to teaching you performance-enhancing exercises and conditioning methods, a physical therapist can help you keep your body in tip-top shape through the use of treatments such as massage, ultrasound therapy, and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). These therapies help your muscles and other tissues relax while stimulating blood flow to your muscles and promoting faster healing and recovery from particularly strenuous workouts.

The sooner you start a physical therapy program, the better your chances are of becoming injury-free down the road – whether you regularly participate in sports or participate in high-impact activities.

If you are suffering from a painful sports injury – or merely want to avoid such injuries and stay in peak condition – you can rely on the expertise of the professional, licensed physical therapists here at H2 Health.

We not only specialize in orthopedic diagnoses and general orthopedic physical therapy, but we also provide the tools and hands-on care to help you change your lifestyle for the better.
