SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY REHABILITATION IN DELHI
Sports rehabilitation includes a multi-disciplinary approach involving physical therapists, athletic/personal trainers or massage therapists in the treatment of athletic injuries sustained from sports participation.
There are a number of obvious limitations to this definitions usefulness:
it appears only inclusive to athletes.
A traumatic, sports related event is required.
Unless the area injured is unstable, rehabilitation should really start post injury, not post-surgery.
This is where functional rehabilitation comes in. It allows for the rehabilitation of overuse injuries of weekend warriors, muscular imbalances of desk jockeys or the all too common “slept the wrong way” syndromes. In this sense, we are all athletes looking for optimal function in all of our activities of daily living.
We are inundated with media advertisements informing us that for the aches and pains of aging, all we need for relief is a magic-pill. The so called aches and pains of normal aging are not normal, but they are very common. The magic-pill can give temporary relief in acute situations and can indeed seem magical, but for chronic conditions it creates dependency and decreasing levels of relief.
These newly defined common and all too often chronic aches, pains and inefficiencies of movement are most commonly caused by dysfunctions of the nervous, muscular and connective tissue (fascia) systems of the body.
Functional rehabilitation is designed to assess functional capabilities, progress all level athletes from simple to more complex activities or movements. This can involve multiple stages of muscle balancing, motor control training and nervous system programming through movement. The final stage if applicable, is determining when resuming participation of the respective sport or activity is appropriate.
The main goal of any rehabilitation program is to regain pain-free functional mobility, flexibility, strength, endurance and balance to the injured area or area of focus.
