Athletic Performance

Sidelined by Injury?

Injuries can be both physically and mentally devastating to athletes, no matter what their level of training and fitness.

Physical activity promotes a healthy lifestyle, attention to nutrition, increased cardio and pulmonary health, and increased mental health.

Many injured athletes feel they are losing a piece of themselves when they are no longer able to train or perform at their previous intensity – losing their social network, their hobby, their passion and their preferred manner of endorphin release, all of which are proven to increase feelings of stress relief and happiness.

The Safest Route Back into Action

With such major life changes accompanying such injuries, athletes run the risk of returning to training prematurely and without recovering properly.

Without proper rehabilitation after injury, athletes may be accelerating unnoticed damage in the area of trauma or in secondary locations that begin overcompensating for the original trauma.

When an injury heals incorrectly, it may initially feel like you’ve recovered – until a previously avoidable chronic pain issue arises down the line.

Our team will work with you to ensure you heal properly, so you can continue your athletic lifestyle long after your injury has correctly healed.

Don’t let your acute injury become chronic pain.

Avoiding Chronic Pain

When an athlete returns to training without allowing a full recovery, they risk further deterioration in the original injured area and in the areas compensating for that trauma.

What may have been an acute injury can quickly transform into a chronic condition, if not conditions.
