Swimming Injuries
Dealing with Swimming Injuries and Aiming to Return to the Pool? Discover How to Make a Splash in Your Recovery!
Pain While Swimming Is NOT Normal
- Are Nagging Aches and Pains Holding You Back from Swimming as Intensely as You'd Like?
- Are You Avoiding Certain Strokes or Intensities Because of Shoulder or Knee Discomfort?
- Do You Want to Seek Help, But Are Afraid That Your Doctor Will Advise You to Stop Swimming?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you’ve come to the right place.
Many people suffer unnecessarily with swimming-related pain because they're told...
- Just "rest it" and it'll be fine (then months later they're still suffering...).
- It's "normal" with age.
- If you take some painkillers, everything will be fine.
- Changing your swimming routine is the only option.
The Truth Is...
- Resting it doesn't change anything. You might experience temporary relief, but when you resume swimming, the pain will likely return (you may have already experienced this!).
- It's not normal to have swimming injuries as you get older!
- Pain medication can be addictive, hazardous, and may cause other health problems.
- Altering your swimming activities is not the only option. It's simply the only option your family doctor may suggest.
At Quest Health & Performance, We Help Active Adults and Athletes Get Back in the Water, Enjoying Their Swimming Activities Without Resorting to Surgery, Quitting the Sport They Love, or Relying on Pain Medication.
- We understand that finding the right healthcare provider can be a daunting task.
- A family member suggests trying a specific stretch.
- A colleague mentions visiting a physical therapist.
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend certain exercises.
- A friend suggests joining a water aerobics class.
- Meanwhile, the doctor advises you to rest.
- It’s overwhelming to make a decision amidst all these choices… What will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Many people get stuck, unable to decide what to do next. They go days, weeks, months, and even years without taking action.
Why We Specialize in Swimming Injuries?
As avid lovers of aquatic sports and athletes ourselves, our staff shares a passion for swimming and understands the significant role it plays in our patients’ lives.
We find swimmers to be some of the most determined individuals. They possess resilience and are not afraid to put in the hard work required to continue doing what they love. Many of these individuals suffer from chronic or nagging pains and may not realize that these pains can be resolved naturally and without invasive procedures.
At Quest Health & Performance, our goal is to get swimmers back in the water throughout the rehabilitation process. We believe that healthcare providers should help you find ways to stay engaged in the activities you love, rather than advising you to give them up.
Our Process
PHASE 1: TELL US YOUR STORY
We recognize that each swimmer is unique, with a distinctive body, history, and circumstances.
That’s why our initial step involves having an open conversation about your story and understanding how your injury is affecting your body and your life.
PHASE 2: GAIN CLARITY
You’ve likely received various diagnoses or opinions regarding your condition. However, no two athletes are exactly alike. Rather than providing generic diagnoses, our therapists assess the underlying causes of the injury. Our aim is to identify the root cause, ensuring that the pain not only goes away but also stays away.
PHASE 3: ALLEVIATE PAIN AND BUILD RESILIENCE
Once we comprehend the underlying cause, we address it directly. Our interventions focus not only on relieving your pain but also on preventing its recurrence in the future.
We prioritize educating our athletes on the “why” behind our approaches. By doing so, they gain a better understanding of their bodies and how to address injuries as they arise.
At Quest Health & Performance, we've developed a 3-step process to eliminate your pain and ensure its long-term absence.
STEP #1 - WE WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR STORY
Navigating the healthcare system can be frustrating. You may wait weeks or even months for an appointment, only to have a brief 10-minute conversation with a doctor who rushes off to the next patient, leaving you wondering, “What just happened?”
Even in most physical therapy clinics, the atmosphere can be impersonal and fast-paced, with your therapist lacking the time to address the specific areas of discomfort.
That’s why our first step is to listen to your story.
Having worked with numerous individuals with swimming-related pain, we understand that no two people are the same. Each person has a distinct body, history, and pain experience.
That’s why we provide ample time for an open conversation, allowing you to share your story. This approach provides us with a profound understanding of not only your physical condition but also how it impacts your life.
STEP #2 - DISCOVER THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF YOUR SWIMMING PAIN
Many people receive a diagnosis or medical explanation for their condition. It may have been provided by a doctor, revealed through diagnostic tests, or even self-diagnosed online.
You may have been told that your only choices are to rest, take pain medication, or consider surgery.
While these measures may provide temporary relief, they fail to address the underlying cause of the problem.
The cause of swimming pain differs for each individual. No two people have the exact same problem originating from the exact same source.
At Quest Health & Performance, our objective is to identify the original cause of your pain, ensuring that it not only disappears but also remains absent!
We understand that you might still be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is the right choice for you. That’s why we offer Discovery Visits.
Our Discovery Visits are specifically designed for those who are skeptical, unsure, or have been disappointed in the past. During the Discovery Visit, you’ll learn what’s causing your pain, how long it will take to resolve, and gain the assurance that your problem can be naturally addressed!
STEP #3 - ELIMINATE PAIN AND PREVENT ITS RETURN
This is when a significant transformation takes place. We create a personalized plan that enables you to:
…Get back to swimming without the fear of pain recurring.
…Conquer different strokes and intensities.
…Return to your pre-injury swimming routine.
Our most successful clients are those who are motivated and ready to reclaim their active lifestyle, even if they currently feel stuck.
