Sprains and Strains

Sprains and strains are among the most common sports injuries, affecting ligaments (sprains) or muscles and tendons (strains). These injuries often occur during running, jumping, pivoting, or sudden direction changes, leading to pain, swelling, and limited movement. Without proper rehab, they can sideline athletes and delay return to play.

Sprains and Strains

Causes and Risk Factors:

Sudden twisting or awkward landings
Explosive movements, such as sprinting or jumping
Muscle fatigue, leading to poor control and coordination
Inadequate warm-up or poor flexibility
Previous injuries, increasing risk of re-injury
Improper technique or biomechanics

What Happens If Left Untreated?

If not treated, sprains and strains can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, joint instability, and a higher risk of re-injury, which can delay return to sport and affect long-term performance.
