The following is a closer look at how we treat sports injuries here at Chesapeake Bay Aquatic & Physical Therapy.
Sports Injury Treatment Options
No matter what caused your sports injury, we are here to treat you with the utmost care. We can offer you the following treatment options:
Sports Physical Therapy
Prevention: If you have been injured before or fear that you will become injured, we offer preventative services that can help. Preventative physical therapy involves helping athletes learn how to properly move and maneuver to avoid serious injury.
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is one of the best ways to recover from a sports injury. This involves being trained to properly complete various exercises and stretches on a regular basis until you fully regain your mobility. Additionally, you may also massage therapy as a part of your physical therapy treatment plan.
Aquatic Physical Therapy: Another option is aquatic physical therapy. This method of therapy involves performing physical therapy exercises in a warm therapy pool. This is often recommended depending on the extent of your injury. If you are especially struggling with mobility, aquatic therapy is a gentle form of therapy to help ease you into general physical therapy sessions.
Post-Operative Therapy: If you have had surgery due to a sports injury, you may need to complete post-operative physical therapy to fully recover. This involves completing an array of exercises and stretches and slowly working your way up to more difficult exercises to increase your strength and mobility.
