๐ฅ Sprains, strains, and repetitive stress injuries are often confused, but understanding the difference is important for proper recovery and prevention. This monthโs newsletter from Ability Physiotherapy explains how sprains involve stretched or torn ligaments, strains affect muscles or tendons, and repetitive stress injuries develop gradually from repeated movement and overuse over time. Each type of injury affects the body differently and may require a different treatment and rehabilitation approach ๐.
The newsletter also highlights how Physiotherapy can help identify the severity and root cause of an injury while guiding recovery through targeted exercises, mobility work, strength training, and movement correction. Early treatment is key to reducing pain, restoring function, and preventing recurring injuries or long-term limitations.
