Physical Therapy for sports injuries is primarily focused on the prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of individuals who are physically active. The majority of sports injuries occur as a result of acute trauma or the repetitive stress that is put on a specific area of the body. Sports injuries can effect bones as well as soft tissue, such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. Treatment of sports injuries often requires an individualized approach to ensure that the patient will be able to return to their normal activity.
