Overuse Injuries Treatment in Troy, IL

Physical therapy helps treat the common overuse injuries that occur when your job, sport or activities require you to make repetitive actions every day. Overuse injuries like bursitis, tendonitis, tennis elbow, runner’s knee, and shoulder impingement syndrome and more can affect various parts of your body due to the repeated motions you perform. Luckily, they’re often avoidable once you know the proper technique to perform those actions.

The four stages of overuse injuries are commonly identified as:

  1. Pain presenting itself after an activity
  2. Pain presenting itself during an activity, but not restricting play
