When you first experience a new sports injury, it is important to act promptly and seek out the guidance of a qualified professional. Your first step should include booking an appointment with a Certified Athletic Therapist for an assessment, so they can guide you through your injury. With the ever growing volume of information on Google, it is important to seek out guidance from a professional to avoid the unfortunate scenario of  being lead down the wrong path. Certainly, you want to do whatever you can quickly. However a wrong move could delay your return to sport or favorite weekend activity. We like to use the phrase “assess & test, don’t guess”. They assign the full skill set of orthopedic assessment, rehabilitation, and return to activity to create you’re individualized treatment plan.

Some advantages you have when beginning early with an injury are:

– less time benched from your sport

– faster return to activity

– pain reduction

– overall improvement of performance

– prevent future injury

Injury management with a Certified Athletic Therapist breaks down your current injury scenario and makes a personalized plan. This would include injury assessment, treatment, return to activity, and continued management to avoid reoccurring issues.

An Atheltic Therapist doesn’t just help with new acute injuries. During your assessment, mention any other nagging difficulties that you have, and they can be incorporated into your treatment! That knee injury and low back ache can be addressed at the same time.
