Prompt treatment of sports injuries will help you regain maximum mobility and function. Physical therapists can help you recover from an injury with a therapy program created specifically for you. The experienced staff at StayFIT Physical Therapy treats a variety of injuries and conditions, including joint sprains, muscle strains, and frozen shoulders, and have helped countless Aiea, HI, residents return to their favorite sports after an injury.

Rest and ice are the recommended home treatments for many injuries. If a few days of rest doesn't help your symptoms, or if it’s immediately obvious that you have a more serious injury, see a doctor as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can slow healing and even cause additional problems in the future. 

Arthritis can occur if you ignore a joint sprain or don’t see your doctor about that nagging knee pain. If the knee pain is caused by an injury to your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), delaying treatment may mean that your bones will start to rub together because your knee isn’t as stable. If this happens, the cartilage at the end of your bones can become damaged. Similar problems occur with other sports injuries if you put off a visit to your doctor.

After diagnosing your injury, your doctor will likely refer you to physical therapy. The physical therapists at StayFIT Physical Therapy work with all types of sports injuries and use exercises and a variety of therapeutic methods designed to help strengthen and heal your injured joint.
