Limitless Physical Therapy and Performance
Sports injuries can be challenging, impacting your performance and leaving you wondering if a return to sports or an active lifestyle is possible. Whether you’re facing a recent injury or an ongoing issue, you’re not alone. In our Rochester Hills clinics, we frequently encounter patients who have sustained injuries during sports or exercise, regardless of the season.
Traditional advice often involves recommending rest or complete cessation of activity. However, we believe this approach can lead to greater injury and increase the risk of future problems. Many individuals with sports injuries find themselves asking:
“Why Am I Still Suffering From An Injury That Prevents Me From Being Active And Playing My Favorite Sport, Even After Months?”
It’s a common misconception that a few days of rest can restore individuals to their normal level of activity. Unfortunately, returning to exercise may still be restricted, and the pain often reappears, indicating that mere rest may not be the solution.
Does that sound familiar to you?
In our Physical Therapy Clinic, we frequently see clients who have been advised to rest, wear support, and take pain medications. However, this conservative approach often leads to extended periods of discomfort, with no substantial improvement. Complete rest is seldom the recommended course of action for sports injuries like hamstring strains, ankle sprains, and runner’s knee.
The confusion around the “resting” approach can result in delays in seeking proper treatment and a return to activity. Regrettably, some individuals accept that being active is no longer possible, considering it a normal part of life.
Is that how you feel too?
If you’re frustrated and suffering from a sports injury, here are seven reasons why it may be lasting longer than it should:
- You hoped it would heal on its own, but it didn’t.
- Medical advice to relax, wear a brace, and take pain medications didn’t provide lasting relief.
- Acceptance based on the belief that aging makes individuals more prone to sports injuries.
- Previous attempts with healthcare professionals or physios yielded little improvement.
- Solutions like heating pads, ice, and sports braces offered temporary relief but didn’t facilitate a return to normal activity.
- Resting seemed logical, yet daily irritation persists.
- “Sports massages” provided only temporary comfort without addressing the underlying injury.
