    Sports Injury Assessment in Nairobi

    Detailed Sports Injury Assessment

    Detailed biomechanical and functional assessment to accurately diagnose your sports injury.

    Introduction

    A precise diagnosis is crucial for athletes. A misdiagnosis can lead to chronic issues and prolonged time away from your sport. Our sports injury assessment goes beyond the surface to understand the exact mechanism of your injury.

    Sports Injury Assessment is one of our specialized treatments under our Sports Injury Rehabilitation services.

    Common Causes

    • Acute trauma during competition
    • Overuse and repetitive strain
    • Sudden changes in training volume or intensity
    • Poor biomechanics or technique
    • Inadequate footwear or equipment

    Symptoms to Watch For

    • Sharp, sudden pain during activity
    • Swelling, bruising, or joint effusion
    • Inability to bear weight or use the limb
    • A 'pop' or 'snap' felt at the time of injury
    • Lingering pain that worsens with training

    How It Helps

    By accurately identifying the injured structure and the contributing biomechanical faults, we can create a highly specific rehabilitation plan that targets the root cause, not just the symptom.
