Injury Prevention Education

Injury prevention education is a vital component of sports physical therapy. As musculoskeletal specialists, our team has extensive knowledge gained from years of education, advanced certifications, and continuous study of the latest research in physical therapy. We apply this expertise to help you understand how to prevent injuries before they happen, ensuring you can stay active and healthy whether you’re an athlete or simply looking to improve your daily movement patterns.

Our physical therapy clinics focus on teaching you prevention measures that are specifically tailored to your lifestyle, sport, or physical activity. We break down the mechanism of injuries for various tissues, identify your personal risk factors, and provide you with a customized plan to reduce the likelihood of injury. By understanding how your body moves and the stresses it encounters, you can take proactive steps to protect your muscles, joints, and connective tissues from harm.

Whether you’re looking for sports therapy near me or recovering from an existing injury, injury prevention education plays a crucial role in your rehabilitation process. In sports therapy, we focus on teaching athletes how to warm up, strengthen, and move in ways that support their performance while minimizing the risk of overuse or acute injuries. We also emphasize proper biomechanics, movement patterns, and equipment usage to help prevent common sports-related injuries, such as sprains, strains, and ligament damage.

For individuals working in an office or engaged in repetitive movements, our injury prevention plans focus on ergonomics, stretching, and mobility exercises that can significantly reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as back pain or carpal tunnel syndrome. By understanding the importance of posture, proper body mechanics, and safe lifting techniques, you can protect your musculoskeletal system and avoid long-term damage.

At Sport and Spine Physical Therapy clinics, we believe that educating our patients is just as important as treating them. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to prevent injuries and maintain optimal physical health. If you’re searching for physical therapy near me, reach out to our experts to learn how injury prevention education can be a key part of your overall health and wellness plan. We’ll work with you to create a personalized strategy that keeps you safe, active, and injury-free.

“I was referred to Sport & Spine for post-operative rehab from shoulder surgery. The care and treatment I received was highly effective. Thanks to Sport & Spine I am back to being fully functional in life’s general activities, and I am now rowing for competitions.”

- PETE CATHEY, Head Coach UNH Men’s Crew, Master Rower; Assistant Coach of Charles River Rowing Camp

“I have always engaged in intense levels of activity in both work and play. So when I had a menisectomy and ACL replacement after an accident, I was completely immobilized. I came to Sport & Spine because they were highly recommended by my surgeon. I truly had my doubts about physical therapy, but as soon as I arrived I knew this was the right choice. They use diverse and innovative ways to get you on your feet again by setting challenging yet attainable goals. And when I was done with my therapy, they were just as proud of me as I was of myself.”

- ALEXENDRA CHAN, Archaelogist

“I have been to numerous chiropractors, physical therapists, myotherapists and neurologists for the past 12 years for back, neck and shoulder pain to no avail. But after just 12 visits, I am out in my garden again! Chris and his staff really went the extra mile to see me reach and attain my goals. Thank you so much... I am forever grateful.”

- LIZ RIORDAN

“Suffering from a bad shoulder was something that I was living with for months. But working with the heroes over at Sport & Spine helped me progress at a level that was comfortable yet pushed me to a point that minimized the pain. Sport & Spine is the perfect physical therapy environment with a highly trained and cordial staff that really, really cares.”

- JAMES SWISHER

"Two months of using stretches I found on YouTube and got from my doctor’s office did nothing for my herniated disc. Just one month after going to see Dr. Ben McGinnis, my pain was almost entirely gone. We’re now working on strengthening to ensure I don’t re-injure myself. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Sport & Spine."

- PATRICK

"Although I worked primarily with Dan, the entire staff is professional, friendly, and above all they really know how to treat your conditions. I have been to Sport and Spine for 2 periods over the past couple of years, once for post shoulder surgery and once for treating a knee problem. I highly recommend Dan and Sport and Spine in general for physical therapy."

- JOHN B

"Was under Sport & Spine Physical Therapy's care for a 3 month period due to rotator cuff surgery. My rehab included three sessions weekly. The facility was always very neat and clean. The Corvid prevention program was quite thorough and very reassuring to me as a patient. Their entire staff was very courteous and professional. My primary therapist was Ben McGinnis. His care, preparation, and concern were exemplary. He always listened to my concerns and customized my exercise regimen to my particular case and needs. With the support and assistance of Karen Goldberg on Ben's days off, we were able to exceed my surgeon's expectations and overall goals. For the spectacular results of your detailed care and compassion, my hats off to you both! Heartfelt Thanks!!"
