FOOTBALL INJURIES
Athletes dedicate significant time and effort to excel in their sport, aiming for higher levels of achievement. Therefore, a football injury mid-season is incredibly frustrating. Even with thorough pre-season preparation, injuries can still occur unexpectedly due to the sport’s fast pace and frequent direction changes. Common injuries we see in physical therapy include torn or sprained ACLs and MCLs, knee injuries, fractures, muscle strains, ankle sprains, and concussions. Don’t play through pain—it’s important to contact Feldman Physical Therapy and Performance for an evaluation by our Doctors of Physical Therapy. We will assess your condition and develop a recovery plan.
Some football-related injuries may only require rest, others will require rehabilitation. Though we hope to avoid surgery with Physical Therapy, it may be required with severe injuries. Physical Therapy is integral for both rehab and prehab. There is no set timeline for recovery but, working with a Physical Therapist can certainly help speed it up. At Feldman Physical Therapy and Performance, you will experience one on one treatment with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to create a personalized plan that gets you meeting and even exceeding your goals with fewer visits. The immediate goals are to reduce pain and swelling. As rehabilitation progresses, you can expect football specific physical therapy exercises to improve range of motion, strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility.
No matter how common the football injury, yours is unique to you. We pinpoint the root of the problem and develop a custom plan to prevent the issue from returning. We want you to be better than you were before the injury!
