The most common type of injury seen in sports occurs in the soft tissues. Soft tissues include muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries often occur during sports and are the main reason for people seeking help. It can be challenging to know when an athlete’s aches and pains are warning signs of an injury. It can also be challenging to know when to rest and when to keep playing. Ourphysical therapistwill useaninjuryassessment to help athletes and families determine if a sprain or strain needs intervention. Identifying injuries early allows for an “active recovery” to assist the athlete return to sports rather than waiting to do nothing or hope it gets better on its own.
