Common Types of Sports Injuries

Sprains and Strains: Ligaments (sprains) and muscles/tendons (strains) are often overstretched or torn during high-impact or sudden movements.
Tendon Injuries: Tendonitis from overuse (such as Achilles tendonitis in runners) can cause ongoing pain and inflammation.
Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome): This condition causes pain at the front of the knee and is common among runners and cyclists.
Shin Splints: Stress and inflammation along the shinbone are frequent complaints for those who engage in high-impact activities like running
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Overhead sports like swimming, tennis, or volleyball can lead to tears or inflammation in the shoulder’s rotator cuff.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy is at the forefront of sports injury treatment, providing targeted strategies to not only heal but also strengthen and protect your body from future injuries. At Elite Physio Ottawa, our approach combines evidence-based techniques with personalized care to ensure you receive the support you need at every stage of your recovery.

Our Approach to Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Thorough Assessment

Every treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your injury, lifestyle, and specific goals. By understanding what caused your injury, we can develop a plan to address not just the symptoms but also contributing factors

Hands-On Therapy

Manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and trigger point release, can alleviate stiffness, reduce pain, and promote healing.

Customized Exercise Plans

Recovery often requires a combination of mobility, strengthening, and balance exercises. Your physiotherapist will guide you through movements tailored to your specific injury and sport, helping you regain stability, flexibility, and strength

Pain Management

To relieve pain and kickstart recovery, we offer modalities like electrical stimulation (TENS), ultrasound therapy, and ice/heat therapy.

Biomechanics and Technique Training

Preventing re-injury is an essential part of any rehabilitation plan. We analyze your biomechanics and provide tips to improve your technique, ensuring you’re moving more efficiently and safely.

Return-to-Play Programs

When it’s time to go back to your sport, we’ll create a gradual reintegration plan. This stepwise approach ensures you’re physically ready to perform without risking setbacks or new injuries
