What is Sports Injury Therapy?
Sports Injury Therapy is a type of treatment designed to help people recover from injuries caused by sports or physical activities. It focuses on reducing pain, healing damaged muscles or joints, and getting you back to your best shape.
Ideal for:
Athletes of all levels, from beginners to professionals

Causes of Sports Injury

Not allowing time for recovery can cause fatigue and increase the chance of injury.
Increasing intensity or duration too quickly can overload the body.
Inadequate Equipment

Lack of or ill-fitting helmets, pads, etc., increases injury risk.
Slippery, uneven, or hard surfaces can lead to falls or joint injuries.

Affects knees, hips, and ankles.
Often leads to shoulder or elbow injuries (e.g., tennis elbow).
