June is Men’s Health Month, and during this month, H&D Physical Therapy would like to encourage our patients to make healthier lifestyle choices and seek early treatment for any disease or injury. This month is the perfect time to increase awareness of preventable injuries and health problems. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of men’s health! 

Common Sports Injuries In Men

There’s nothing worse for an athlete than being sidelined because of an injury. As a part of Men’s Health Month, we’d like to share some of the most common sports injuries male athlete’s face:

  • Knee sprains or strains. 
  • Ankle sprains. 
  • Plantar fasciitis. 
  • ACL tears.
  • Tennis elbow. 
  • Hip bursitis

Even the most careful athlete may face an injury at some point. Instead of suffering in silence, make an appointment for physical therapy as soon as possible to avoid long-term complications and lingering pain. 

Importance of Men’s Health and Wellness

When it comes to early detection and prevention, men’s health can often take a back seat. Men are typically more likely to participate in riskier behaviors and generally lead less healthy lifestyles. Men can live longer, healthier lives if they implement changes towards a healthy lifestyle. Fortunately, many of the injuries and conditions men face can be treated or prevented if managed early on. At H&D Physical Therapy, we help our patients manage their injuries and provide them with the education they need to improve their performance and overall health. We understand that every patient has different needs, so here are some of the sports physical therapy treatments we use to help athletes:

  • Joint and soft tissue mobilization. 
  • Myofascial release. 
  • Taping. 
  • Sports-specific strengthening and coordination exercises. 

This June, make the conscious decision to prioritize your health and wellness. If you are dealing with pain or an athletic injury, our team is here to help.
