Causes of Sports Injuries
Sports injuries occur during sports or exercise and are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact, or extreme application of force. The cause of sports injuries extends from contact during games to overloading in training. Regardless of their cause, sports injuries may affect sporting participation in terms of training and playing, as well as discomfort outside of sports through impact on daily life.

Treatment for Sports Injuries
Your physiotherapist will conduct a detailed and comprehensive diagnosis, evaluating the events leading up to the injury, and the onset of the pain, as well as considering your overall musculoskeletal health. This approach allows physiotherapists the opportunity to identify the structural cause of pain and determine the specific course of action it requires. Additionally, physiotherapists aim to identify potential weaknesses or movement disorders that may have contributed to the cause or are hindering your healing process.
After determining your diagnosis, your physiotherapist will discuss the treatment plan and the steps to return to sport. Typically, an initial period of rest is followed by a gradual reintroduction to activity with some rehabilitative exercises. Physiotherapists also collaborate with coaches and other healthcare professionals to ensure your recovery is well-guided, not rushed, and tailored to your needs.
