Sports Injury

It might be pretty easy to ignore a sports injury as "nothing serious" and simply "put up with it" and carry on as best you can whether you've recently developed one or have been suffering from one for some time.

It's easy to become upset and feel "stuck," wondering if you'll ever be able to return to playing your sport or staying active as you once did...

If this is happening to you, know that you are not alone; we see it all the time. We treat clients in our Beddington clinic Calgary NE all year who have had an injury due to sports or activity. 

I worked in amateur sports for over 25 years, so I've seen a wide range of sports injuries and know-how to assist individuals recover. I asked you at the outset what elite athletes and weekend warriors had in common. Now I'm curious as to what makes them unique. For example, why do top athletes return to their sport more quickly? The answer has to do with timing. When elite athletes are injured, treatment begins the SAME DAY or the NEXT DAY.

That is not how most people react to a sports injury, which is why so many people who have suffered a sports injury are asking: 

“It’s Been Months Now - Why am I still suffering with an Injury that’s preventing me From Being Active and Playing My Favourite Sport?”

Most people believe they will return to their activity or exercise after a few days off, only to discover that they are still restricted when they do. Their situation is sometimes worse than it was when they were initially injured. When you relax, you may experience little or no pain; however, as soon as you start your everyday activities, the pain returns, and improvement is poor, regardless of how much rest you get.

Another common occurrence we see in our Physiotherapy Clinic Calgary is people who have seen their doctor, they receive the prescription of:

They return four weeks later with no improvement, only to be informed they need more rest and a heavier medication prescription.

Complete rest is rarely the best prescription for sports injuries such as hamstrings, ankle sprains, runner's knee, and so on.

It's easy to grow frustrated and confused because different people have told you different things. For example, perhaps you believe you have a back problem, but the issue is with your hip. 

Sport injuries can be confusing because the source of discomfort isn't always the location that needs to be repaired and worked on, and if you rest for too long, other sections of your body become just as, if not more, problematic!

The confusion around "resting" often discourages patients from receiving the necessary care to rehabilitate their injury and return to their pre-injury state. Worse, many people simply give up, thinking that they must accept that their active days are over.

If you relate with any of the above, we invite you to arrange a call with one of our staff members at our Nose Creek Physiotherapy to learn more about what we can do to assist you.
