“How Injured Runners, Pickleball Players, Golfers, and Young Athletes Can Be Fixed and Prevent Future Sports Injuries That Keep You From Enjoying The Sport And Being Active”
Have you recently been dealing with a Sports Injury?
Or you might have been suffering with an injury for a while…
Commonly, we pass it off as “nothing serious” and simply “put up with it” carrying on as best you can.
Or, it can be very easy to get depressed and end up feeling “stuck”, wondering if you’ll ever be able to get back to playing sport or keeping active like you used to…
Often times, people try to get back several times and the injury just keeps getting better and worse without any sign of long-term improvement.
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – we see people going through this all the time. In fact, most people are living with an injury from sports and exercise no matter what time of year it is…
I played college football, sustaining hundreds of injuries myself and have been working with professional athletes my whole career, they would fly me in to start treatment the day after the injury to get them back on the field as soon as possible.
That is completely the opposite to the way that most people respond to getting a sports injury, and is why so many people suffering with a sports injury are concerned and asking themselves:
“It’s Been Months Now – So Why am I STILL Suffering With an Injury That’s Stopping Me From Being Active and Playing Sports?”
Most people think that a muscle tweak, sprain or tendonitis will get better with just a little rest and that may have been true in the past but our history of injuries build up. You start to get stiffer and stiffer over time. The pain seems like it’s gone but you don’t know if you are better til you return to playing. Often when you rest there is little if any pain – but as soon as you start up again, it comes back and no matter how much rest you give it – it doesn’t seem to be improving.
Does that sound like you?
Another scenario we see all the time in our clinic is when people go to see a Doctor, and the Doctor tells them to rest, wear a brace, give an injection or “take this prescription” and come back for surgery in a few weeks if it’s not better… – It didn’t get better and surgery should always be your last resort.
The major problem with sports injuries is that they are accidents or overuse. Sports injuries like strains on your hamstrings, calves, quads, low back and sprains in your ankles or knee etc., are extremely common – complete rest is rarely the best advice.
When someone walks into my office, they are usually confused and frustrated because they’ve been told different things, by different people. Maybe you think you have a back problem – but it’s actually the hip where the problem came from?
Sports injuries can be very confusing because more often than not, where the pain is coming from, isn’t actually the area that needs to be fixed and worked on, the area of pain is being caused from adjacent muscles and joints and if you rest for too long – other parts of the body become just as, if not more problematic!
The confusion over “resting” often leads people to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their injury and return back to exercise.
They often get into a bigger hole with more pain, more stiffness and leads to them gaining weight which compounds the problem.
Worse, many people just end up accepting that ‘their days of being active are over’ – the doctor tells them “it’s just your age” as if it’s normal, as if there is nothing to be done and it “has” to be that way.
