Common Injuries Successfully Treated With Sports Physiotherapy In Calgary NW
Will Sport Rehabilitation Help Me?
You may benefit from sports physiotherapy if you are experiencing any of the following issues:
Fracture
Accidents can happen in any sport and a fracture can be one of those accidents. If you have a broken bone, this will limit your ability to return to sport and you will need a guided rehab prior to returning.
Ligament Injury
Soft tissue injuries such as ligament injuries can be frequent in sport as the increased intensity coupled with fatigue can set up the body for this type of injury.
Chronic Pain
Pain during sport can sometimes gradually appear and become chronic in nature. Nagging pain can influence your performance and ability to play.
Concussion
Another common condition that can occur with contact sport. “When in doubt, sit them out”. Concussion is an injury that needs to be taken care of immediately and requires a guided return to play.
Muscle Strain
Muscles are strong movers of the body. However, in certain situations they may be stretched past their capacity therefore leading to injury.
Contusion
A muscle contusion (or muscle bruise) is an injury that damages the muscle fibres, nerves, and blood vessels in the area. A common area we see is quadricep muscle..

9 Things to Do If You Have a Sports Injury
By doing these 9 things, you can set yourself up better for sports rehabilitation.
Just remember: P-E-A-C-E & L-O-V-E
Protection
Avoid activities and movements that will increase your pain! First few days of your injury are typically the most painful.
Elevation
Elevate your injured limb higher than your heart. This will help with the initial inflammatory process and improve your injury.
Anti-Inflammatories
Anti-Inflammatories can have their place however they can sometimes reduce tissue healing. Speak with your doctor before reaching for these!
Compression
Use elastic bandage or taping to help reduce swelling. Be cautious of how tight your wrapping is – you do not want to cut off circulation to the area.
Education
Learn about your injury with research or consult a professional. Do not apply unnecessary treatment that may do more harm than good.
Load
Use pain as a guide for your movement. Your body will let you know when it is ok to move and when it is not.
Optimism
Stay positive after an injury. Condition your brain for optimal recovery by being confident and positive!
Vascularisation
Choose pain free cardiovascular activities to increase blood flow to repairing tissues.
Exercise
Restore mobility, strength, and proprioception by adopting an active approach to recovery!
