Sports Therapy
What is Sports Therapy?
Sports therapy is a practice that incorporates sports and exercise into a patient’s rehabilitation program to improve overall physical health. Sports Therapy is not restricted to only athletes but also adults, students and all types of people can benefit from Sports Therapy depending on their condition. Sports injuries can be caused by traumatic incidents such as playing rugby, falling off of a skateboard and putting your body under too much strain when it has not developed enough strength to tolerate it. Injuries include but are not limited to sprains, strains, muscle pains and dislocations.
If you have suffered a sports injury, it is best to come in for a diagnosis to help you recover your regular movement and allow you to do the activities that you enjoy once again.
