Get Back to Your Game with Sports Rehabilitation

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, a sports injury can be frustrating and keep you sidelined. At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers in Westminster, our physical therapists specialize in helping you recover from sports injuries quickly and safely, so you can get back to doing what you love.

Types of Sports Injuries

Sports injuries depend on the nature of the sport, but some of the most common sports injuries include:

Sprains and strains — involves injury to the ligaments or muscles that surround a joint, often occurring when the tissues are overstretched or torn by excessive force or movement.
Tendinitis — involves inflammation of the tendons that attach muscles to bones and occurs due to overuse or repetitive strain on a joint.
Knee injury — involves injury to the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or bones of the knee, often occurring due to improper body mechanics, overuse, or trauma.
Achilles tendon injury — involves injury to the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This injury typically occurs with repetitive or sudden movements that overstretch, tear, or rupture the tendon.

Shin splints — involves tenderness and pain in the front of the shin bone and usually occur due to overuse, stress fracture, muscle imbalance or faulty footwear.
Rotator cuff injury — involves injury to the group of tendons and muscles that surround the shoulder joint (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis). Rotator cuff injuries include inflammation, impingement, or tears and are the result of degeneration, overuse, or trauma.
Fracture — involves a break or crack in the bone that occurs due to overuse or trauma.
Dislocation — involves movement of the joint beyond its normal position. This injury occurs due to trauma, including sudden impact or movement, falls, or contact sports.
