When to See a Physical Therapist
Some muscle soreness is a normal part of training. However, pain that persists, worsens, or changes the way you move may be a sign of an injury.
Consider talking with a sports rehabilitation specialist if you experience:
- Knee pain that lasts more than a few days
- Discomfort that worsens during activity
- Reoccurring shin splints
- Foot or ankle pain
- Recurring injuries that keep coming back
Our rehabilitation specialists can identify the source of your pain and build a plan to help you stay active and moving forward!
