Sprains and strains, common in many sports, affect ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Treatment usually starts with the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression, elevation) to reduce inflammation, followed by exercises to restore strength, flexibility, and joint movement. Physiotherapy helps bring the injured area back to full function.
ACL injuries often occur in sports involving cutting, pivoting, or sudden stops—like soccer, basketball, or skiing. ACL tear physiotherapy begins with managing inflammation and protecting the knee. Once swelling subsides, rehab focuses on building strength, restoring movement, and improving control to help athletes return with confidence.
From patellar tracking issues to ligament strains and overuse conditions, knee injuries are widespread in athletes. Knee injury physiotherapy combines mobility work, strength training, and movement re-education to restore function and stability, whether recovering from a recent injury or managing ongoing discomfort.
These injuries are common in sports that involve repetitive overhead actions. Rotator cuff physiotherapy includes mobility and strengthening exercises, posture correction, and technique modification. Treatment helps restore shoulder function and reduce strain especially for athletes in swimming or throwing sports.
An overuse injury common in racquet sports, tennis elbow affects the outer elbow tendons. Physiotherapy uses techniques like ultrasound or shockwave therapy, along with forearm strengthening. Adjusting technique and equipment can also help prevent recurrence.
Ankle sprains, often seen in sports requiring quick direction changes or jumps, involve ligament damage. Ankle sprain physiotherapy starts with RICE and progresses to exercises that enhance ankle stability, balance, and proprioception, key for preventing future injuries.
Common in high-speed sports, hamstring strains involve the muscles at the back of the thigh. Physiotherapy focuses on reducing inflammation, followed by stretching, strengthening, and sport-specific movement drills to support recovery and return to play.
Concussions are brain injuries common in contact sports. Post-concussion physiotherapy addresses symptoms like dizziness and balance issues. Treatment may include guided exercise, visual coordination, and gradual return-to-activity strategies.
Shin splints, often experienced by runners, cause pain along the shinbone. Shin splints physio includes modifying activity, strengthening the lower leg, and applying techniques for pain control. Gait analysis and foot-ankle strengthening help address underlying causes.
Runner’s knee physio reduces stress on the knee through hip, thigh, and core strengthening. Treatment may involve taping, activity modification, and correcting gait patterns for smoother, more efficient movement.
Plantar fasciitis physiotherapy targets heel discomfort through soft tissue release, calf and fascia stretches, foot strengthening, and orthotic support. It’s especially helpful for runners and athletes in high-impact sports.
Shoulder impingement physio treats irritation from compressed tendons or bursa during overhead activity. It focuses on posture correction, scapular control, and mobility drills to reduce strain and restore smooth movement.
At Turning Point Physical Therapy in Edmonton, our approach to treating old sports injuries focuses on revitalizing and restoring function that might have been compromised over time. Often, old injuries can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, or even compensatory issues due to altered movement patterns.
Our physiotherapy treatment starts with a thorough assessment to understand the long-term impacts of the injury. We then employ a blend of techniques, including manual therapy, targeted exercises, and modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation, to alleviate lingering pain and improve the range of motion.
A key aspect of our treatment for old sports injuries is correcting any compensatory movement patterns that have developed and strengthening surrounding muscles to support the injured area. This approach not only addresses the immediate symptoms but also aims to enhance overall functional ability and prevent re-injury, allowing patients to engage in their favourite sports activities with renewed strength and confidence.
