What We Offer
At Marcel Jacobs PT, we are dedicated to helping athletes and active individuals recover from sports-related injuries, enhance their performance, and prevent future injuries. Our sports therapy services cater to a wide range of athletic activities, providing care that is as specific as the sports our clients love.
Sports and Their Related Injuries
Different sports pose different risks, and our treatment plans are tailored to address these specific injuries:
Running
- Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome): This occurs due to the repetitive force of the knee striking the ground, which can cause irritation where the kneecap rests on the thigh bone.
- Shin Splints: Often result from overuse, especially when a runner suddenly increases the duration or intensity of their running, leading to inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around the shin.
- Stress Fractures: These are tiny cracks in a bone that develop from the repetitive application of force, often due to overuse such as running long distances.
Basketball
- Sprained Ankles: Frequent jumping and quick directional changes can lead to overstretching or tearing of the ankle ligaments.
- Meniscus Tears: Sudden twists or turns, common during basketball maneuvers, can tear the meniscus, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
- Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendonitis): This injury is caused by repetitive jumping, which puts a strain on the patellar tendon.
Football
- Concussions: The high-impact nature of football with frequent helmet-to-helmet contact can cause concussions.
- ACL Tears: Rapid direction changes or being tackled can overly stretch or tear the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee.
- Shoulder Dislocations: The physical nature of football can lead to the shoulder being forcefully dislocated or subluxated.
Tennis and Golf
- Elbow Tendinitis (Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow): Repetitive wrist and arm motions can strain the elbow tendons.
- Wrist Injuries: Frequent swinging of the tennis racket or golf club can lead to sprains, strains, and fractures of the wrist.
Swimming
- Shoulder Impingement: Overuse of the shoulders during swimming strokes can lead to inflammation and pinching of the shoulder muscles.
- Swimmer’s Shoulder: Similar to impingement, this is caused by repetitive motion and can result in pain due to inflammation of the shoulder tendons.
- Soccer
- ACL Injuries: Sudden stops and changes in direction can strain or tear the ACL.
- Hamstring Strains: Sprinting and rapid acceleration can overstretch or tear the hamstring muscles.
- Ankle Sprains: The dynamic and high-paced nature of soccer can lead to missteps that strain the ankle.
