Common complaints in field athletes
Field sports such as padel, tennis, field hockey, soccer and rugby put intense stress on the body. Injuries are therefore inevitable. At Helix Physical Therapy, we help you recover and make sure you return to the field stronger and injury-free. What all of these sports have in common is the focus on quality of movement. At Helix, we perform detailed movement analysis to identify your movement patterns and running technique so that we can improve your performance and injury prevention with specific exercises.
Padel & Tennis: common injuries
Explosive movements and quick turns in padel and tennis put a lot of pressure on joints and muscles.
Tennis elbow
The forearm muscles can start to hurt when you start exercising more often or change your technique. This leads to strain and pain on the outside of the elbow.
Treatment at Helix: We relieve pain with targeted elbow treatments and strengthen your forearm muscles with strength and padel/tennis-specific exercises. This will improve your technique and reduce your chances of injury recurrence.
Calf injuries (whiplash)
A muscle tear in the calf caused by sudden movement such as a jump or sprint.
Treatment at Helix: After reducing pain, we work on building strength and mobility in the calf muscle.
Ankle sprains
Rapid changes in direction can cause the ankle to sprain, leading to swelling and instability.
Treatment at Helix: We restore ankle stability and strengthen muscles to prevent recurrence.
Field hockey: common injuries
Field hockey players must be able to turn quickly, sprint and move low over the ground, which puts a lot of pressure on knees and lower legs.
Knee injuries (meniscus or cruciate ligament injuries)
Twisting movements can cause knee problems, such as torn menisci or cruciate ligaments.
Treatment at Helix: We strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve joint stability.
Back Pain
The hunched posture in field hockey can lead to lower back pain due to overuse of the back muscles.
Treatment at Helix: We improve your posture and strengthen the back muscles to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Shin splints (shin irritation)
Overuse of the muscles and bony membrane surrounding the tibia causes pain along the front of the leg.
Treatment at Helix: We treat the tibia to reduce pain and work with targeted muscle strengthening and mobility exercises to reduce the strain on your shin so you can return to pain-free sports.
Soccer: common injuries
In soccer, many injuries occur from sprinting, spinning and physical contact.
Hamstring injuries
Sprinting can lead to strain or tear of the hamstrings.
Treatment at Helix: In addition to improving flexibility and strength in the hamstrings, we perform detailed running analysis and work on your running and sprinting technique. This not only helps your recovery, but also reduces the risk of future injuries by optimizing your movement patterns.
Ankle sprains
Ankle injuries often occur during jumps and quick turns.
Treatment at Helix: We work to restore stability and mobility so you can play with confidence again.
Knee injuries (cruciate ligament and meniscus injuries)
Twisting movements and contact with other players can lead to serious knee injuries.
Treatment at Helix: We work intensively to restore stability and strength in the knee for a safe return to the field.
Rugby: common injuries
Rugby is a physical sport in which many contact injuries occur, especially to shoulders, knees and calves.
Shoulder injuries (shoulder luxations or instability)
The physical contact can lead to shoulder luxations or instability of the joint.
Treatment at Helix: We restore stability and strength to the shoulder joint so you can play safely again.
Knee injuries
Twists and tackles make rugby players susceptible to knee injuries, such as torn ligaments.
Treatment at Helix: We strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve mobility so you can return to the field without fear.
Whiplash (muscle tear in the calf)
A sudden muscle tear in the calf can occur during a sprint.
Treatment at Helix: We work step by step on recovery, from reducing swelling to building strength and mobility.
