Sports injuries, by definition, include injuries involving the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system is made up of the bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues that support, stabilize and move the body.
The purpose of rehabilitation following a sport injury is to help the injured tissues recover in a controlled and supervised manner. The therapist can design a safe and effective recovery program specifically geared towards the individual’s abilities.
