1. What is sports rehabilitation?

Sports rehabilitation mainly uses basic knowledge and skills in kinesiology, rehabilitation, medicine, etc., combined with the relationship and laws between sports and the human body, to design and implement rehabilitation training plans for patients with different levels of sports injuries, so as to achieve injury recovery.

2. What is a sports rehabilitation therapist?

Sports rehabilitation therapist is a profession that can be found in the rehabilitation medicine department or sports medicine department of a hospital, in a national sports training team, in a gym or various sports rehabilitation centers.

Today we will mainly talk about sports rehabilitation therapists in hospitals. For example, everyone knows that the most important things to win a victory are weapons and strategies. Our sports rehabilitation therapists have both "weapons" and "strategies". "Weapons" are their hands, and "strategies" are the sports training plans they develop for patients.

Before sports rehabilitation treatment, the sports rehabilitation therapist will first conduct a rehabilitation assessment for the patient, usually using some professional equipment and scales to assess the physical injury and cause. Based on the assessment results, the sports rehabilitation therapist will discuss a targeted rehabilitation treatment and sports training plan with the doctor, patient, and family members, and finally implement the training plan.

3. What diseases can sports rehabilitation treat?

Sports rehabilitation mainly treats pain, swelling, limited function and other problems caused by various acute and chronic sports injuries in daily life, such as neck pain, shoulder and back pain, low back pain, knee pain, sports injuries such as falls, blows, sprains, etc., as well as postoperative patients, and of course athletes who need to return to the sports field through systematic rehabilitation training.

4. How to conduct self-exercise rehabilitation?

Sports rehabilitation is not only the recovery training after sports injuries, it is also the training to prevent sports injuries and strengthen the body, because prevention is more important than treatment. In daily life, we can enhance physical functions through scientific and regular sports training, such as running, swimming, yoga, fitness, cycling, etc., which can effectively improve the cardiopulmonary system function and the strength and power of bones, joints and muscles. We can also use training equipment for self-training, such as public fitness facilities.

If a sports injury has already occurred, please perform daily self-exercise rehabilitation under the guidance of a sports rehabilitation therapist!

Only by ensuring safety, reasonably planning exercise time and intensity, eating healthily, and maintaining a regular schedule can you get the most benefit from exercise rehabilitation.
