Our approach to Rehabilitation at Body Boost Clinic
Rehabilitation provides a vital role in pain relief and recovery from fractures, surgery, age-related conditions and muscle, tendon and ligament injuries. But you don’t have to be injured to benefit from physiotherapy; it’s just as valuable as a preventative measure, and is highly recommended for athletes, physical performers or anyone that struggles with pain in everyday life.
FAQ
Which therapy is used in sports rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation is used in the process of sports injury recovery for two main reasons; one, to increase and restore muscle activity and function as quickly as possible, and secondly to ensure you reduce the chance of re-injury. This can be done by gradually increasing the muscle strength via resistance training exercises or simply through functional movements that mimic those of the particular athlete’s sport. The key is to restore full functional movement and strength in order to reduce pain, swelling, and improve athletic performance.
How can Rehabilitation help with pain relief?
A good program involves exercising the injured area and stretching tight muscles, massaging sore spots, and doing exercises that prepare it to withstand stress from exercise, competition, or other situations that could cause injury in the future. During the sports injury rehabilitation process, there are certain techniques that can be used by sports physiotherapists to help promote the healing process of soft tissues.
How does Rehabilitation prevent injury?
Physiotherapy can help deal with injuries by restoring strength and mobility to the affected part of the body. In addition, it can also help prevent future injuries. A physiotherapist can help come up with a plan to prevent future injuries for athletes or people who do daily exercises or any other physical activities. They will examine your lifestyle, medical history, or any previous injuries to come up with a plan for you.
A physiotherapist can identify the common injuries that you are susceptible to when playing a particular sport or doing any repetitive movements. Based on this they can provide various recommendations to help you avoid these overuse injuries.
This plan can include regular exercises, stretching or any manual therapy to strengthen the body and improve flexibility. It can help people regain their energy, movement, and overall strength of the body. Physiotherapists can continue to guide the patients and educate them so that they can avoid over stressing their body and watch out for any signs of injuries.
I got injured, when I should start Rehabilitation?
Well, this depends on the type of injury you’re suffering from and the severity of the trauma. Generally, most injuries, especially when induced by physical sports, require 72 hours of rest followed by several weeks or months of regular physical therapy. With any injury, it’s best to start sooner rather than later. Seek out a physical therapist who can evaluate your case and provide a personalized treatment plan to restore mobility and strength. As injuries vary, it’s always best to seek professional advisement prior to starting any treatment plan. To maximize healing and receive expert advice on recovery, you should consult a physical therapist immediately following your injury.
