Sports rehabilitation
What is sports rehabilitation?
Sports rehabilitation is a specialised form of therapy designed to help athletes and individuals recover from sports-related injuries, surgeries, or physical conditions. Its primary goal is to facilitate the healing process, restore function, and enable a safe return to sports or physical activities.
What are the benefits of sports rehabilitation programmes?
Getting a personalised sports rehabilitation plan can offer numerous benefits for athletes and active individuals. Here are some reasons why you should consider getting a sports rehabilitation programme with BCGBodyMechanics:
​
-
Individualised Treatment Plans: Every athlete or individuals' rehabilitation needs are unique, so BCGBodyMechanics sports rehabilitation programmes are tailored to address specific injuries or conditions. The treatment plan is developed based on assessments, medical history, and the goals of the athlete.
-
Multidisciplinary Approach: If you need additional support through your sports rehabilitation we are able to collaborate between various healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, athletic trainers, and strength and conditioning specialists. This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care and optimal outcomes for your personal needs.
-
Early Intervention: Starting rehabilitation as soon as possible after an injury or surgery is crucial for a successful recovery. Early intervention can prevent secondary issues, reduce muscle atrophy, and promote quicker healing.
-
Restoring Range of Motion and Strength: Sports rehabilitation focuses on regaining joint mobility, muscle strength, and flexibility. We will use a combination of exercises, stretching, and manual therapies to facilitate the recovery process for your needs.
-
Functional Training: BCGBodyMechanics rehabilitation programmes aim to restore the athlete's ability to perform specific movements required for their sport or activity. Functional training helps athletes regain sports-specific skills and improves their overall performance.
-
Pain Management: Sports rehabilitation includes various techniques for managing pain and discomfort during the recovery process. This may involve modalities like ice/heat therapy, electrical stimulation (TENs), or ultrasound.
-
Neuromuscular Control: Sports rehabilitation addresses neuromuscular control and proprioception, which are essential for balance, coordination, and injury prevention.
-
Gradual Progression: Our rehabilitation programmes follow a step-by-step progression, gradually increasing the intensity and complexity of exercises as the your condition improves. This helps prevent re-injury and ensures a safe return to sports or day-to-day activities.
-
Psychological Support: Injuries can have emotional and psychological impacts on athletes. BCGBodyMechanics will aim to support and help you cope with the mental challenges of recovery.
-
Return to Play Assessment: Before an athlete is cleared to return to sports, they undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure they have fully recovered and can safely resume athletic activities.
​
Sports rehab plays a vital role in helping athletes recover from injuries, prevent future injuries, and enhance their overall athletic performance.
