Overcoming Sports Injuries to Keep Your Active Lifestyle
A Message From Benji Toh, DPT, Owner, and Founder of Head to Toh Physical Therapy:
If you’ve recently experienced a sports injury or have been dealing with one for some time, it’s common to either downplay it as “nothing serious” and continue despite the pain or feel discouraged, wondering if you’ll ever fully return to your active lifestyle.
Rest assured, you’re not alone. At Head to Toh Physical Therapy in Colorado Springs, CO, we encounter individuals with sports injuries regularly. We’ve seen it all, and we’re here to guide you through the process of recovery.
“It’s Been Months – Why Am I Still Suffering From an Injury That Prevents Me From Being Active and Playing My Favorite Sport?”
It’s a common misconception that resting alone will solve sports injuries. Many individuals believe that after a few days of rest, they can resume their activities pain-free. However, the reality is often different. Rest might provide temporary relief, but as soon as you return to your regular activities, the pain resurfaces, and no amount of rest seems to help.
Does That Describe You?
Another scenario we often see is individuals consulting doctors who advise rest, bracing, and pain relievers. Unfortunately, this approach doesn’t always lead to lasting relief. Patients might find themselves in a cycle of temporary relief followed by recurring pain, leading to frustration and confusion.
The misconception about “resting” often leads to procrastination and a delay in deciding how to address the injury. Some individuals even accept a restricted, less active lifestyle, believing it’s the new norm.
Is That How You Feel As Well?
If You’re Currently Frustrated and Living With a Sports Injury, Here Are Seven Additional Reasons Why It May Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
You expected it to go away on its own, but it didn’t.
Doctor’s advice to rest, wear a brace, and take pain relievers didn’t provide a lasting solution.
Friends or family suggested that sports injuries are an inevitable part of aging, leading you to accept it as unavoidable.
Previous attempts with other healthcare professionals or physiotherapists didn’t yield effective results.
Various remedies like heating pads, ice, and sports supports didn’t alleviate pain or facilitate a return to exercise.
Resting, though initially seeming like a good idea, hasn’t resolved the issue, and daily irritation persists.
Attempts with “sports massages” provided temporary relief but didn’t contribute to long-term healing.
If any of these resonate with you, we’re here to assist you. Schedule a call with our physical therapists at Head to Toh Physical Therapy in Colorado Springs, CO, and let’s explore solutions for your sports injury.

So, here are four things you can do:
Decide whether or not to seek help: Don’t delay seeking help. Waiting for the pain to fade away with time can lead to prolonged suffering or worsening conditions.
Do the RIGHT exercises: Work on a series of progressed exercises prescribed by a Physical Therapist. These exercises are designed to reduce pain, enhance mobility, and ensure a swift return to sports.
Avoid excessive rest: While rest is essential, too much of it can hinder recovery. Proper recovery and strengthening exercises, along with hands-on treatment, are crucial for a quicker return to an active and healthy lifestyle.
