Types of Youth Sports Injuries


Sports injuries can typically be placed into two categories: acute or overuse. Acute injuries are caused by a single specific incident, such as a sprain, strain, fracture, or tear. Overuse injuries are caused by inefficient, unbalanced repetitive movements over time.

 

Once protocol allows, our team will take you through a rigorous return to sport program to ensure that you are physically ready and confident to return with as minimized risk of re-tear as possible. Get ready for sessions filled with sport specific drills like sprinting, cutting, dribbling, passing, and more!

Some examples of overuse injuries include:

We are a team created for athletes, by athletes. Our sports physical therapists actually understand the demand of sports. This becomes very important when athletes are recovering from an injury.

How Is UNITE Different Than Other Physical Therapy Clinics?


We are a team created for athletes, by athletes. Our sports physical therapists actually understand the demand of sports. This becomes very important when athletes are recovering from an injury.
When athletes are healing from an injury, most physical therapy clinics believe that eliminating pain with passive techniques is the fastest, best way to get back to the field. The use of heat packs, ice packs, e-stim TENS units and basic, underwhelming exercises will only get you partially recovered.
Athletes who are looking to return to sport confident, strong, and with minimal risk of re-injuring require a much more extensive physical therapy process. With our team of sports physical therapists, you will do a combination of mobility drills, challenging strengthening exercises, eliminate faulty patterns and replace them with mechanically sound, sport-specific movements. Of course, getting rid of pain fast is at the top of our priority list! But, once that is achieved we take our athletes the extra, but necessary, mile to make them strong and confident athletes.

How Sports Physical Therapy Get You Back In The Game


At UNITE.rehab.perform, our physical therapists’ treatments for sports injuries are evidence-based, specific toward the age of our client and sport he or she hopes to return to. Our highly trained sports physical therapists use a specific combination of manual therapies and corrective exercise to address the root cause of the injury, instead of only focusing on symptom reduction.

For example, there is a difference in biomechanics when compared to adults because they are still growing – both physically and mentally. Each pediatric sports injury treatment plan is unique, taking into account the child’s age, level of physical activity, and their continuing physical and mental development.
The overall goal of sports physical therapy is healing, education, and prevention. In addition to treating the injury, our physical therapists will help strengthen the affected and surrounding area, in order to prevent subsequent, chain-reaction injuries from occurring.
Our sports physical therapists will also provide your athlete with helpful warm-up and cool-down techniques for his or her sport, in order to lower their risk of sustaining another injury.
If your child has sustained a sports injury, schedule an appointment with UNITE.rehab.perform Physical Therapy and Sports Performance today. We’ll help diagnose the issue and get your young athlete started on the path toward recovery and returning to sport! We provide sports physical therapy in Thornton, CO, and the Denver metro area.
