Canyon Sports Therapy. Help For Current Injuries And Preven…

Canyon Sports Therapy offers injury prevention screening to help determine your likelihood of experiencing an injury in the near future. Your body tells you in subtle ways what it can and cannot do – and we’re here to listen. How do we do this? First and foremost, we will analyze how your body bends, twists, and moves altogether. This can include watching how you squat and jump, testing your flexibility, and noting your range of motion. During an injury prevention screening, we are on the lookout for abnormalities, whether it be in wobbly landing positions, weak limbs, low range of motion, or overall issues with posture and technique. We will also take note of any painful areas and focus closely on those to get to the root of the problem. After your initial screening, your physical therapist will come up with a plan to help significantly lower your risk of future injury. This may include manual therapy, technique and form assistance, therapeutic exercise, or any of our additional services that your physical therapist sees fit.

Stretching your calves can prevent muscles from stiffening, thus decreasing any painful risks. • Massaging your feet. If you think about it, our feet get quite the workout every single day – they literally hold us up! This can inevitably cause discomfort, especially if we are on our feet more than planned, or we complete a new, extensive workout that we are not used to. A simple remedy is to massage the soles of your feet with a tennis ball. If you are experiencing pain, you can also massage them with a frozen water bottle, which can relieve swelling.
