Physical Therapy For Basketball Players

Physical Therapy For Basketball Players
December 22, 2020AdminUncategorized

The winter of 2020 will be something that none of us has faced before. With the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting the world, many things have been put on pause. For athletes, this means their basketball season is officially in question. However, that doesn’t mean the game still can’t be enjoyed. You can play on your own, with people in your social distance bubble, or with anyone you live with. While the competitive stakes in this scenario won’t be as high, it’s important to remember that injuries can still occur even during friendly games. If this takes place, our team at Flowers Physical Therapy should be your first call. We’ll provide you with the treatment methods needed to recover, allowing you to get back to playing.

Common Basketball Injury

Even though basketball isn’t a high contact sport, there are still plenty of injuries a person can suffer from. Fortunately, physical therapy can be used to treat a large portion of them. If you find yourself falling victim to any of the below, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment with our team:

  • Achilles tendonitis.
  • Ankle sprains.
  • Ligament sprains and tears.
  • Finger dislocations.
  • Stress fractures. 

Preventing Injuries 

Staying active can play a huge role in maintaining your mental health. Playing basketball during these uncertain times is a great way to relieve stress and get your mind off of things for a while. That is why our team would like to pass along some of the top injury prevention methods. To avoid the need to take time away from playing basketball, we recommend the below:

  • Always stretch and warm-up before games or practices.
  • Stay hydrated.
  • Cross-train to make sure you don’t overuse certain muscle groups.
  • Maintain a healthy diet.
  • Utilize the proper techniques and mechanics.

How Physical Therapy Will Help

Even after doing your part to remain healthy, our team knows that injuries can still occur. When this happens to you, taking fast action is imperative. By scheduling sessions of physical therapy right away, you can start the recovery process quickly. Our team will teach you the stretches and exercises needed to regain strength in the injured area and facilitate a full recovery. Physical therapy also reduces the reoccurring injury risk, giving you the best getting back to playing without issue.
