Summer weather calls for a significant uptick in recreational sports and outdoor activities. While the summer weather is a great time to get active outside, increased activity can also mean an increased risk of injury. If you’ve been less active during the chilly winter season, jumping straight back into summer activities too soon can put a lot of strain on your body. No one wants to spend their summer in pain. At H&D Physical Therapy, our team is here to help patients recover from their injuries and prevent them from ruining their summer fun.

Summer Injuries

  • Ankle Injuries – Have you ever been for a run and suddenly noticed a pain in your ankle? Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries suffered by those participating in outdoor activities. Ankle injuries, especially ankle sprains, can be painful and knock you off your feet. Our physical therapists can help you reduce pain and swelling in your ankle to increase your range of motion to get you back on your feet. 
  • Back Pain – When you jump back into strenuous activities after a long hiatus, you have a higher risk of becoming injured. Back pain is a prevalent complaint at our office, and we help patients learn effective activities that relieve their pain and strengthen their back muscles. 
  • Knee Injuries – The knees are one of the most commonly injured joints in the body. Physical therapy can help you with anything from minor knee pain to a torn ACL. Our physical therapists can design a program that includes stretches and strengthening exercises to address your specific problem.
