Rehabilitating A Sports Injury
What is rehabilitation from a sports injury?
By definition, rehabilitation of a sports injury is trying to get the athlete back to his pre-injury level of function. How do I return that athlete to the sport that he or she wants to participate in at full activity level? The type of rehabilitation that's going to be necessary depends on the type of injury. If there's a surgery involved, it may require getting range of motion back. If it's an overuse injury, it may require decreasing the level of inflammation about the joint and then strengthening and range of motion.
