Injuries are common in sports, but a proper recovery process is vital to return to the game stronger. Here’s a roadmap:



1. The Immediate Response: Follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to reduce swelling and pain.





2. Rehabilitation Is Key: Physical therapy helps rebuild strength and flexibility. Stick to the exercises prescribed by your doctor.





3. Listen to Your Body: Pain is a signal to stop. Pushing too hard can cause more damage.





4. Avoid These Mistakes:



Skipping follow-up appointments.



Resuming full activity without clearance from your orthopedic specialist.



Ignoring rehabilitation exercises once you feel “better.”







5. Prevention Matters: Strength training, proper warm-ups, and good technique reduce the risk of future injuries.
