Common Sports Injuries
The most common sports injuries that benefit from massage therapy include:
- Ankle Sprains: Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments in the ankle joint are stretched or torn due to excessive force, such as a sudden twist or impact. This injury can result in pain, swelling, and instability, which may impair balance, mobility, and weight-bearing activities, ultimately affecting daily function and sports performance.
- Hamstring Strains: Hamstring strains happen when the muscles at the thigh’s back are overstretched or torn. This injury typically results from sudden acceleration or deceleration, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced flexibility. Impairments may include a limited range of motion and difficulty walking, running, or jumping, impacting daily activities and sports performance.
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Repetitive stress or overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons can cause tennis elbow. This results in pain and inflammation at the outer part of the elbow. This condition can affect grip strength, fine motor control, and the ability to perform activities involving forearm and wrist movements, impacting daily function and sports performance.
- ACL Injuries: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur when the ligament inside the knee joint is stretched or torn, often due to sudden changes in direction, jumping, or landing. ACL injuries can lead to knee instability, pain, and swelling, affecting mobility, stability, and agility, ultimately impairing daily activities and sports performance.
- Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Shin splints occur due to repetitive stress on the shinbone and surrounding tissues, commonly seen in runners and athletes participating in high-impact sports. This condition causes pain, tenderness, and inflammation along the inner part of the lower leg. Impairments may include difficulty walking, running, or jumping, ultimately impacting daily function and sports performance.
