Sports Injuries

Sports injuries involve damage to part of your body due to sports, exercise, or athletic activities.

Sports Injuries

Sport Injuries are common among professional and non-professional players during participation in competitions, organized sports, fitness activities, or training exercises owing to poor training methods, lack of conditioning, and inadequate warm-up.

IMC Rehab aims to improve athletic performance by preventing, identifying, minimizing, and correcting athletic injuries through a series of treatments. Thus, we ensure athletes to return to play quickly, efficiently, and with lasting results.

Our rehab team assesses and evaluates the injured structure and the extent of the injury before planning on treating it and develops an individualized program according to person needs.

We develop a rehabilitation program to manage pain, regain muscle strength and prevent permanent damage and recurring problems. The interventions included in the program are pre-participation screening, cardiovascular, resistance, endurance and neuromuscular re-education exercise programs, taping and bracing, manual physical therapy to improve muscle ability, mobility, and function.

Optimal Health Is Still Possible If You Have Sports Injuries

The ultimate goal of the rehabilitation process is to limit the extent of the injury, reduce or reverse the impairment and functional loss, and prevent, correct or eliminate altogether the disability.

At IMC Physical Therapy Department in DHA phase 5, we see people who need the added support of physical therapy care to live a functional and pain free life.
