π¨ Basketball Injuries and Physiotherapy
β‘οΈ Due to the high impact, fast paced nature of basketball, injuries to the lower limb are the most prevalent, with most injuries occurring around the ankle and knee joints.
β‘οΈ Most injuries in basketball can be classified as either overuse or traumatic.
β‘οΈ The majority of injuries are traumatic or acute in nature. This refers to an injury that occurs suddenly, for example an ankle sprain.
β‘οΈ On the other hand, an overuse injury, is caused by repeated activities, and is often associated with a sudden dramatic increase in training or game time.
β‘οΈ While soft tissue injuries such as ligament sprains can be unavoidable and unlucky in nature, there are a large percentage of injuries which can be avoided, or at least minimized, by straightening out biomechanical faults that basketball players might have.
β
The physioβs at PhysioHub Wiley Park can assess and treat imbalances such as tight or weak muscles which might lead to injury.
β
Biomechanical screening is a way of identifying these issues early and resolving them before they become a problem.
