Fall Sports Injuries
It’s back-to-school time in Northwest Florida, which means the return of high school sports for the fall season, including football, volleyball, golf, cross country, swimming, and diving. As students begin to practice and train again, it is crucial to recognize that soft-tissue injuries are often part of a quick return to sports after a less active summer.
Orthopaedic Physical Therapy
In orthopaedics, physical therapy, or PT as it is commonly referred to, uses hands-on care, patient education and prescribed movement to improve a patient’s quality of life. Working with your orthopaedic specialist, a physical therapist can help you improve mobility and function, manage pain and chronic disease, recover from and prevent injury, and avoid surgery or extensive rehabilitation afterward.
