Whether you’re an athlete, a worker, or simply someone who lives with chronic health conditions that require rehabilitation to improve function and quality of life, the need for rehabilitation is everywhere. Globally, about 2.4 billion people have a health condition that can benefit from rehabilitation.

Often, injury is the consequence of an overuse of the body or poor practice and can lead to pain and re-injury. The good news is that re-injury is preventable by identifying and treating injuries as they happen. This is why sports injury clinics are so important.

Our interprofessional team of neurologists, physical therapists, and pain rehabilitation specialists will help you recover from your injury and return to your daily routines.

The three stages of injury rehabilitation

Injury Rehab Clinic is about resting and protecting the injured area until it heals. It’s also about restoring movement and strength through the use of gentle exercises, soft tissue massage, water therapy, and other treatments like ultrasound-guided dry needling that release deep muscle and fascia trigger points.

In the mid-stage of injury rehabilitation, your physical therapist will slowly re-introduce movements and activities that stress the healing tissues in a safe and controlled way. This helps you to build your tensile strength, allowing for faster recovery and a stronger foundation for continued rehabilitation and sport-specific movements.

The final stage is called functional rehabilitation, which involves fine-tuning your ability to perform at pre-injury levels. This can include returning to your sport in a game-ready condition, or being able to complete the movements and tasks required by your job.
