Training Tiffany
Dolly, DPT Today we have an abundance of resources to help improve
our athletic abilities for all levels of play. Unfortunately, sports can lead
to injuries. And when that happens, the key to getting you back to your sport
or simply everyday life, is the way you recover and that can be quick or can
take time. You might not realize it but
your recovery period has many benefits, which is why you should take it
seriously. Below are 4 ways physical therapy can enhance your sports
performance: ● Avoid
training hazards and future injuries. Training
with a physical therapist whose expertise is in both sports and
rehabilitation can help you get back in the game better than ever before. A
provider can help you heal and perform at your highest level while also
showing you how to avoid potential training hazards or future injuries. ● Gain an edge
in sports or higher-level hobbies. Of
course, as a patient, you must be willing to work to bridge the gap between
rehabilitation and performance. Look for a program that provides a personalized
exercise program for sport-specific training, total body strength, power,
stamina, flexibility and movement. ● Spot
incorrect patterns of movement. Identifying
muscle weaknesses, tightness and coordination problems can help you avoid
injury and move more efficiently within your sport of choice. A physical
therapist who can correct improper movement patterns to help you get back on
the court – better, faster and stronger. ● Perform
exercises in a controlled, comfortable environment. Perform higher-level exercises in an environment
with skilled experts prior to doing them on your own. If you pair that with
innovative techniques, you can easily access parts of recovery not typically
available in traditional physical therapy clinics. |
