It is possible for any number of injuries to occur during athletic activity. 4 common sports injuries include: • Shin splints. Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a pain that can be felt within the shin bones, which are located at the front of your leg. This pain occurs when excessive stress is placed on the shinbone and the connective tissues surrounding it. Shin splints often leave you feeling debilitated and limited; however, they can be avoided by wearing proper footwear, strengthening your core and leg muscles, and warming up before exercise. • Knee injuries. Your knee is one of the most complex joints in your body. While this means that it has the ability to accomplish numerous physical feats, it also means that it is one of the most commonly injured body parts. Knee injuries may include a dull ache that runs from your hip to your knee, repetitive-use injuries that make it difficult to move your knee, or more severe injuries such as an ACL tear that may require intensive rehabilitation or surgical correction. • Sprains. Your bones are connected to one another by ligaments. When a ligament is stretched beyond its limits, a sprain can occur. Once the ligament is stretched, it is more likely that the affected area will be sprained again in the future. • Strains or pulled muscles. Your muscles and bones are connected by tendons. When a tendon is stretched beyond its limit, a strain or “pulled muscle” can occur. Once the tendon is stretched, it is more likely that the affected area will be strained again in the future. Contact your physical therapist to learn more about how you can take steps to start improving your posture today.

Whatever age you are, or level of physical ability you may have, physical therapy can help you in enhancing the healing process of a sports injury. With our sports injury rehabilitation programs, you will be able to get back to doing the activities you love in no time. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to get off the sideline and return to your sport, contact Shoreline Physical Therapy today to consult with one of our qualified physical therapists. How did my sports injury occur? “Sports injury” is a term that can be used to describe any injury sustained while exercising or performing some sort of athletic activity. There are two ways in which sports injuries can occur: suddenly, such as one football player colliding with another, or over time, through repetitive motions, such as improperly lifting heavy weights at the gym or running in ill-fitted shoes. Simply put, anything that results in pain while performing physical activity can be considered a sports injury. Whether you rolled your ankle on the soccer field, swung your bat too aggressively on the baseball diamond, or strained your back while hiking your favorite trail, Shoreline Physical Therapy can help you find relief. Your treatment plan will be dependent upon the nature of your injury, your health history, and whether or not the injury requires surgical intervention. If you’ve sustained a sports injury, please contact us as soon as possible. Any injury left untreated can become more severe over time.

Clincal Outcomes
Lets Talk Outcomes! In the physical therapy world, most clinics are quick to advertise the new and innovative services they provide. These clinics will tell you they have “state of the art” treatments. They will tape you, dry needle you, make you stronger, faster! But what they don’t tell you is... Does it actually work? They don’t promise you a good outcome, BUT WE DO! Take neck and back pain, two of the most common ailments people will suffer with. Patients that complete a course of physical therapy for neck and back pain at Shoreline Physical Therapy average a 66% improvement in pain levels at the completion of their care. That means, on average, patient reports of pain reduce from an average of 6/10 (on a scale where 0 = no pain and 10 = the worst possible pain) at first visit, to 2/10 at completion. These are averages, many patients end their care pain free. Patients self rated functional test scores (tests where patients grade how well they are doing with daily activities) improve significantly as well. Our patients improve on these test scores 65% for neck pain and 62% for back pain. These outcomes are 30% better than the national average of thousands of other outpatient clinics across the United States. Think of it this way, if you were to choose a financial consultant to invest your money with, you would choose the consultant that gives you a 30% better return on your investment than all other consultants. If you knew a fitness trainer would make you 30% stronger and faster than any other trainer in town for the same price, you would choose that trainer to work with. We work hard to train ourselves to guarantee these outcomes and strive to get even better at what we do. Call for a free consultation to find out if we can help you get the same results.
