Hockey pain and injuries
Hockey physiotherapy in Blainville and on the North Shore
Hockey injuries can follow a hit or fall, but pain can also build gradually with skating, acceleration, shooting and game volume.
What we assess in hockey
Pain location, the movement that triggers it and how symptoms respond to load help guide the assessment.
Sprains and knee or ankle injuries
Twists, contact and falls can affect the knee or ankle. Explore ankle sprain, ACL tear and meniscus tear.
Muscle strains and groin pain
Repeated acceleration and skating can load the adductors, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves and hip flexors. Explore hip pain.
Knee, hip or back pain while skating
Crossovers, change of direction and repeated shifts may reproduce knee, hip or back pain.
Concussion after contact
After a hit or fall with compatible symptoms, see our concussion physiotherapy page.
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 hockey, sport and performance
Return to hockey may include skating, acceleration, stopping, change of direction, shooting, contact tolerance, power and confidence. See our sports physiotherapy service.
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.
