Sports Rehabilitation<\/h2><\/div>

Physiotherapists are experts on understanding how the body moves. At Okotoks Physical Therapy, our therapists are passionate about athletics and have a solid <\/span>understanding of the different demands that recreational and competitive sports place <\/span>on the body. Our therapsis have extensive experience with sports-related injuries and <\/span>have assisted athletes of all levels with injury prevention and recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neil Hergott has worked as the physiotherapist for the Calgary RoughnecksProfessional Lacrosse team for over a decade. He has also volunteered as the team <\/span>physiotherapist with the Holy Trinity Academy Knights football team. Ashley Humphrey <\/span>volunteered with the Medical Staff at the 2023 Alberta Summer Games hosted in <\/span>Okotoks. Our therapists have provided injury prevention inservices for sports teams. <\/span>Contact us if you are interested in scheduling an inservice for your team.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our physiotherapists will assess and diagnose sports-related injuries, ensure clients understand the injury, and guide the recovery process. Early stage <\/span>physiotherapy treatments aim to reduce pain, promote healing, and improve range of <\/span>movement. Later stage treatments aim to increase strength and endurance, reduce the <\/span>risk of injury, and improve performance with sport specific activities. Treatments may <\/span>include manual therapy, dry needling, acupuncture, massage, taping, and modalities <\/span>(such as ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation). Each client receives self <\/span>management strategies and an individualized exercise program to facilitate return to <\/span>their specific sport. Our therapists regularly review current research on sports-related <\/span>injuries to ensure the education and exercises provided are evidence based.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports-related injuries are diverse and can range in severity from client to client. Our therapists have experience in diagnosing and treating many different injuries, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
