Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is the restoration of your optimal body form and function after any injury. Sports Medicine Rehabilitation is a program developed by physiotherapists for any individual who is suffering from any sports-related injuries. Based on the type of your injury, your rehabilitation plan will be a mix of strengthening exercises and mobilization exercises, ensuring that you return to your previous functioning ability. Sports Medicine Rehabilitation will ensure maximum recovery from your sports injury by tailoring your rehabilitation plan based on your goals and how well you are progressing.

What does rehabilitation entail?

Rehabilitation can be done in a hospital setting, at a rehabilitation center or as an outpatient procedure. During your rehabilitation visits, your rehabilitation therapist will evaluate your injury and overall condition, your symptoms, limitations, level of pain and recommendations from your doctor (if any). After the assessment, your rehabilitation team and you will devise a rehabilitation plan depending on the goals you want to achieve. Based on these goals, an individualized rehabilitation plan will be made. Your rehabilitation therapist will measure, monitor and track your progress, and make changes if required. The main components of a rehabilitation program are as follows:

  • Pain management
  • Exercises for flexibility and joint movement
  • Strength and endurance exercises
  • Ensuring that you return to your optimal athletic functioning
  • Use of orthotics which are braces or footwear that will be required to correct your muscle imbalance or inflexibility in your uninjured areas.
