Football pain and injuries
Football physiotherapy in Blainville and on the North Shore
Football requires acceleration, change of direction, contact, jumping and repeated high-intensity efforts. Injuries may be traumatic or develop with training load.
What we assess in football
Pain location, the movement that triggers it and how symptoms respond to load help guide the assessment.
Knee and ankle sprains
Explore knee pain, ACL tear, meniscus tear and ankle sprain.
Muscle strains
Sprints and acceleration can load the hamstrings, quadriceps, calves and adductors.
Shoulder injuries after contact
Contact and falls may cause shoulder pain or an AC joint sprain.
Concussion
After a head or body impact with compatible symptoms, see concussion physiotherapy.
The movements that matter for your return
Rehabilitation should reflect the real demands of your sport, not only whether pain is present at rest.
Return to football, sport and performance
Rehabilitation can progress toward acceleration, braking, change of direction, jumping, contact and position-specific demands.
Return to your sport with a clear plan
A physiotherapy assessment can identify what is limiting you, rebuild capacity and progress toward the movements that matter for your sport.
