Therapy for Sports Injuries are at a greater risk of injuries due to their high level of physical activity. Proper assessment and treatment of an injury can help prevent further damage and lead to a speedy recovery. SV Proactive Physical Therapy specializes in the treatment of sports injuries, helping athletes recover from their injuries and improve their performance.
Our physical therapists use an array of techniques to reduce pain, strengthen muscles and joints, improve balance and coordination, and manage swelling. These include manual therapy (hands-on techniques including manipulation and mobilization of the muscles and joints), therapeutic exercises, modalities (including cold therapy and electrical stimulation), hot/cold therapies, and pain management.
Therapy for Sports Injuries: Singapore’s Cutting-Edge Treatments
Injections for pain relief are also a popular treatment option for sports injuries. Cortisone injections help reduce pain and inflammation in the injured area. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves injecting a concentration of platelets from your blood into the injured site, promoting healing and accelerating recovery.
When it comes to prevention, our physical therapists have extensive training in identifying and correcting imbalances that can contribute to injuries. Our therapists can teach you exercises and stretches that will help you avoid future injury, as well as educate you on how to properly perform your sport to minimize your risk of injury.
While sports injuries can be physically devastating, they can also be emotionally draining. Your favorite sport may have become a big part of your identity, and you may feel depressed or fearful that you’ll never be able to return to playing at the same level as before. Luckily, physical therapists are trained to help with the emotional aspects of recovering from an injury. They can teach you techniques for managing stress, and support you throughout your recovery process by monitoring your progress and encouraging you to set small goals along the way.
