What Makes Twin Boro Different?
We understand that athletes undergo physical and mental stresses that most of our patients do not. Because of this, it is important to be matched with a professional who is skilled in functional rehabilitation and developing a program specific to your type of sport and injury. Our sports medicine experts will perform a complete evaluation including (but not limited to) your mobility, range-of-motion, strength, flexibility, pain levels, body history, the severity of the injury, and athletic goals. You will be matched one-on-one with a sports medicine expert to ensure you are involved in your rehabilitation program and feel comfortable asking questions. This one-on-one pairing also allows our physical therapist to perform hands-on therapy exercises which promote healing such as joint manipulation and manual stretching.
In addition to our one-on-one pairing, the use of our trademarked One2FourTM method truly sets up apart. Our One2FourTM method will place you in a category based on your need for assistance and athletic goals (going all the way to ultra-athletic goals) in order to connect you with the most beneficial additional resources and clearly track your progress within the categories.
How Are Most Sports Injuries Sustained?
Over half of sports injuries are sustained in practice. This is because it is more likely to perform activities when you are tired or distracted in practice than in athletic competitions, and the majority of repetitions come in practice. By far, the most common sports injuries are sprains and strains. These injuries are to the connective tissue between bones, such as muscles or ligaments, and can range from mild to severe. These injuries typically occur from not warming up or stretching before activities, or from repeated stress on a specific body part. These repeated movements and stresses can wear down the body and cause overuse injuries. In general, consistent stretching, proper form, taking time off and rest between repetitions, proper sleep, nutrition, and paying attention to any pain within the body are all good practices to minimize the risk of injury.
