When it comes to sports or orthopedic injuries like tendonitis, arthritis, a stress fracture or low back pain, our therapists can design a treatment plan to promote improved function, wellness and minimize the risk of re-injury. There is nothing more exciting than taking on a new challenge, sport or activity at school. For most of us, the thrill of accomplishing a physical goal is what we live for. However, are you prepared for it? HOW DO MOST INJURIES OCCUR? Most sports injuries occur from ill-prepared individuals who jump into activity without first increasing their strength, endurance and flexibility. Your muscles, tendons, ligaments and other tissues need to be warmed up to work properly. They take enormous strain during running and sports activities. Therefore, if they are not in top condition, they are more prone to injury.
