REHABILITATION INJURY AFTERCARE AND
Over the coming weeks many sports clubs of South Devon will be cancelling various matches due to inclement weather. Also as a result, there will be various muscle strains, ligament sprains and broken bones suffered by individual sportsmen and women, which over a period of time will heal, but that’s the easy part!!
L
ittle or no aftercare advice, or even poor or incorrect rehabilitation techniques can often result in
ongoing muscle, ligament and joint stiffness and weakness. The range of movement in joints will also be reduced and a loss of power and muscle volume will be evident resulting in injuries not healing properly.
In many cases the
individual returns back into competitive sport to soon, believing he or she is ok to play, resulting in re-injuring the affected muscle, ligament or joint further. This results in further time on the side lines but more importantly more time off work so affecting the fi nancial cost of living!
With extra football, hockey and rugby matches over the next few weeks til the end of the season to play and of course the start of the cricket season too in South Devon it is vital to the injured individual to have the correct aftercare advice tailor made for that specifi c injury. With experience of treating current and former professional and amateur
sports men and women in the South Devon area I have found that bad or incorrect aftercare advice or poor rehabilitation can often have on-going joint, muscle and ligament problems up to and through retirement age so good aftercare advice and proper rehabilitation is vital!!
