Sports injuries can encompass a wide range of conditions, affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. The type of injury and its severity often depend on the sport, the level of activity, and the specific circumstances. Here are some common types of sports injuries and general physiotherapy management approaches: Early Mobilization:  

1. Sprains:
  • Description: Stretching or tearing of ligaments.
  • Physiotherapy Management:
    • R.I.C.E. Protocol: Rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
    • Progressive Exercise: Gradual introduction of stretching and strengthening exercises.
    • Joint Mobilization: Techniques to improve joint mobility.
 
2. Strains:
  • Description: Overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons.
  • Physiotherapy Management:
    • R.I.C.E. Protocol: Similar to sprains.
    • Stretching and Strengthening: Tailored exercises to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
