Physical therapy is effective in treating a wide range of sports injuries, including:
- Sprains and Strains: Common in ankles, wrists, and knees due to overstretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles.
- ACL and Meniscus Tears: Often requiring surgery, followed by an extensive rehabilitation process.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons, commonly seen in runners, swimmers, and tennis players.
- Fractures and Dislocations: Physical therapy helps regain strength and movement after the bones heal.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Shoulder injuries that require targeted exercises to restore strength and mobility.
