• Performance-Oriented Rehabilitation: Therapy is tailored to the sport’s movements, demands, and intensity, ensuring recovery translates directly into improved on-field performance.
• Injury Prevention: SST emphasizes correcting biomechanical imbalances, improving movement efficiency, and strengthening vulnerable areas to reduce risk of re-injury.
• Functional Strength & Endurance: Focuses on restoring and enhancing strength, agility, coordination, and stamina to meet sport-specific requirements.
• Return-to-Play Confidence: Gradual progression through sport-related drills helps athletes rebuild trust in their body and movements.
• Versatility Across Sports: From running and swimming to contact sports and overhead athletics, SST adapts to the demands of each sport for optimal recovery and performance.

Sports injuries can significantly impact your daily life, training, and ability to compete. Understanding the common causes is crucial for finding the right treatment and preventing future setbacks. At Stride PT, we help identify and address these conditions.

• Sprains and Strains: Among the most frequent sports injuries, sprains (ligament injury) and strains (muscle/tendon injury) cause pain, swelling, and loss of function, often from overuse or sudden movement.
• Tendonitis: Repetitive stress on tendons—such as the rotator cuff, patellar tendon, or Achilles tendon—leads to inflammation, pain, and stiffness that limit performance.
• Fractures and Stress Fractures: Common in impact and endurance sports, fractures can result from sudden trauma or repetitive force, causing pain, swelling, and inability to bear weight.
• Dislocations: A joint forced out of its normal position causes severe pain, swelling, and instability, requiring careful rehabilitation before returning to sport.
• Overuse Injuries: Conditions such as shin splints, runner’s knee, and plantar fasciitis develop gradually from repetitive stress, improper training, or poor biomechanics.
