Feeling Pain During Exercise? PT Can Help You Exercise Comfortably Again

You Don't Have to Feel Pain to Improve Your Performance!

An exercise injury can be described as any injury sustained while exercising or performing some sort of athletic activity. 

If you have been noticing pain during exercise, you may have developed some sort of exercise injury. Physical activity shouldn't hurt, and if you've been experiencing pain with your workouts, it could be a sign that something is wrong.

Fortunately, at Fusion Performance, our highly skilled physical therapists can detect the cause of your pain and provide you with targeted exercises, stretches, and pain relief modalities to help improve your form, tighten up your technique, and get you moving comfortably through your exercises once again.

What should I know about exercise injuries? 

As stated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, there are numerous athletes that sustain exercise injuries each year. 

There are two ways in which exercise injuries can occur: suddenly, such as one football player colliding with another; or over time, through repetitive motions, such as improperly lifting heavy weights at the gym or running in ill-fitted shoes. Simply put, anything that results in pain while performing physical activity can be considered an exercise injury.

Whether you rolled your ankle on the soccer field, swung your bat too aggressively on the baseball diamond, or strained your back while hiking your favorite trail, we can help you find relief. Your treatment plan will be dependent upon the nature of your injury, your health history, and whether or not the injury requires surgical intervention. 

What can a physical therapist do for my exercise injury?

At our clinic, our physical therapists will create a treatment plan for you, based on your individual needs. Physical therapy is a natural and holistic approach to healing, including services such as therapeutic exercises/stretches, manual therapy, and pain relief modalities.

Physical therapy has been proven to be successful in treating both acute and chronic injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis, and more. 

Your physical therapist will teach you about what your body is experiencing and the recovery process it will go through. You and your physical therapist will work together to help you reach your physical goals, allowing you to be engaged and active in your rehabilitation.
