Most injuries related to running, biking and swimming are caused by repetitive strain to the area and fall under the category of Over-use injuries. We do treat many traumatic injuries, such as falling off the bike or ankle sprains during running, but the majority of injuries fall under the Repetitive Injury Cycle. The main difference between treatment protocols for Overuse and Traumatic sports injuries that don’t require surgery is that Overuse injuries will require treatment and therapy for aspects of the body other than the injury site.
As stated earlier, many overuse injuries are caused by dysfunctions in other aspects of the body, which places excessive strain and stress on other parts of the body. The area of the body that the stress is placed on by the dysfunctions and the requirements of the sport typically become the over-use injury site.
