What Is A Sports Injury?
The term “sports injury” encompasses a range of injuries that commonly occur during sports or exercise activities, although they are not exclusive to athletes. Even individuals in non-sporting occupations, such as factory workers, painters, or gardeners, can experience similar injuries. For instance, factory workers may develop tennis elbow, painters may experience shoulder injuries, and gardeners may develop tendinitis. Sports injuries can be broadly categorized into two types: acute and chronic injuries. Acute injuries occur suddenly, typically as a result of incidents like falls, blows, or joint twists. On the other hand, chronic injuries usually stem from overuse or repetitive strain on a specific area of the body and develop gradually over time.


At Rebound, we are committed to supporting individuals with sports injuries, promoting faster recovery, and enabling them to return to their regular lives and sports activities with enhanced well-being. Sports injuries can vary in their nature and severity, each presenting distinct symptoms and complications. Understanding the different types of sports injuries is crucial for proper diagnosis and effective treatment. Here are some common types of sports injuries:

Sprains
A sprain occurs when the ligaments, which connect bones in a joint, are overstretched or torn. Sprains often result from sudden twists or impacts, causing pain, swelling, and a limited range of motion in the affected joint.

Strains
Strains are injuries to muscles or tendons, which connect muscles to bones. They can occur due to overstretching or excessive force placed on the muscles. Strains are often mistaken for sprains, but they involve damage to the muscle or tendon rather than the ligament.

Knee injuries
The knee joint is susceptible to various sports-related injuries, ranging from mild sprains and strains to more severe conditions such as ligament tears (e.g., anterior cruciate ligament or ACL tear) or meniscus injuries. Knee injuries can cause pain, instability, swelling, and difficulty with movement.

Swollen muscles
Swelling is a common response to injury and can occur in muscles as well. Swollen muscles may be tender, painful, and weak, affecting mobility and performance.

Achilles tendon rupture
The Achilles tendon, located at the back of the ankle, can rupture or tear during sports activities. This injury often occurs during explosive movements and is accompanied by sudden, severe pain and difficulty walking.

Fractures
Fractures, also known as broken bones, can result from high-impact collisions or excessive stress on the bone. Fractures can vary in severity, from hairline cracks to complete breaks and require immediate medical attention.

Dislocations
Sports injuries may cause dislocations, where a bone is forcefully displaced from its normal position within a joint. Dislocations commonly occur in joints like the shoulder or finger, causing intense pain, swelling, and instability.

Rotator cuff injury
The rotator cuff comprises four muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint and facilitate its movement. Sports-related injuries can lead to tears or strains in these muscles, resulting in weakness, pain, and limited shoulder mobility.

Proper assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of sports injuries are essential for promoting recovery and minimizing long-term complications. Seeking medical attention from healthcare professionals experienced in sports injury management can ensure a comprehensive approach tailored to the specific injury, facilitating a quicker return to normal activity and sports participation.

Concussion Management
Concussion management is a vital aspect of our services, where we collaborate with Complete Concussion Management to assist athletes in effectively managing concussions. Through the utilization of evidence-based and objective measures, we conduct baseline symptom assessments both before and after injury. This approach ensures a safe and complete recovery for athletes.

Physiotherapy For Your Sport Injury
We provide physiotherapy services to address muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries that can significantly impact your lifestyle, activities, and work. These types of injuries typically involve a slow healing process. Fortunately, our highly trained physiotherapists specialize in proven techniques and therapies that expedite the healing process significantly.
