Why Do Sports Injuries Happen?
Sports injuries can happen when the demands placed on your body exceed what it can currently handle. A sudden collision, awkward landing, repetitive movement, inadequate warm-up, or overuse can all contribute to an injury. Common sports injuries include sprains, strains, tendon injuries, and problems affecting the knees, shoulders, hips, feet, and ankles.
Sometimes, however, an injury isn't caused by one specific event. Limited mobility, muscle weakness, poor movement mechanics, or an imbalance in strength and stability can affect how your body handles the demands of your sport. Unique Care's Sports Ready program specifically uses movement screening to identify these types of deficits and movement patterns.
What Can Happen When You're Injured?
A sports injury can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, or reduced range of motion. These symptoms can make everyday activities uncomfortable and may prevent you from training or participating in your sport normally. Common injuries can affect the foot and ankle, shoulder, hip, knee, and other areas of the body.
Loss of Strength, Stability & Performance
An injury can also change the way you move, causing you to compensate or avoid certain movements. Over time, this may affect strength, balance, flexibility, speed, or agility. Addressing these limitations can be an important part of safely returning to your sport and reducing the risk of future problems.
