Sports Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation
Fast and Reliable Sports Rehab in North York
Every sport as its risks; some more than others. While injuries are a common occurrence, the reasons behind such injuries vary greatly. Sports injuries can have a long-lasting, detrimental effect on an athlete’s future or even their quality of life. In the majority of cases, proper treatment care requires a person to undergo sports injury therapy and rehabilitation to restore optimal function to the affected areas.
The compassionate therapists at Oriole Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre understand your frustration and offer many options for therapy and rehab for sports injuries in our North York clinic. Our physiotherapy professionals (physiotherapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, etc.) are here to help restore movement and strength to the injured areas. Some of our treatments are also designed to help those affected by sports injuries in reducing pain and swelling, preventing lasting nerve damage, and minimizing the re-occurrence of various problems.
Our Approach
Our team of health professionals uses the right strategies to identify the root causes of the injury and provide you with the best possible treatment tailored for fast recovery in our North York physiotherapy and sports injury clinic.
- Diagnose – Visit our physiotherapist as soon as possible if you experienced carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, shoulder pain, or neck pain after engaging in sports. The sooner we get to the problem, the better and quicker your recovery will be.
- Educate – As your trusted partner in recovery and maintenance of good health, we will help you gain a better understanding of your injury and prevent potential reoccurrence.
- Activate – We will start your custom treatment plan as soon as possible to reduce symptoms and ensure relief from pain and discomfort. Depending on your health care needs, your treatment program may include massage therapy, physiotherapy exercises, or acupuncture.
- Monitor – To ensure full recovery and get back to your pre-injury health status, we will provide a set of expectations and re-evaluation. Our health care professionals will thoroughly test and measure your progress before moving on to the next process until we are sure that you have fully recovered from your injuries and are ready to get back to your favourite activities.
We will assign a sports rehab specialist to train and assist our patients in streamlining their recovery following an injury. During your consultation, you will be evaluated to see if there are inflexible or weak muscles in your body that can make you more prone to injury. A better understanding of an injured and/or compromised physical structure will help inform a treatment plan to get you back on the field. Part of the treatment will include:
- Specialized sports injury recovery exercises
- Targeted stretching
- Utilization of applicable equipment
- And much more
Sports injury recovery and rehabilitation is more than a one step solution. Evaluation of progress must be made on a regularly scheduled basis to ensure healing is occurring and following the proper phase patterns.
