By Emilie Smale, Certified Athletic Therapist Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or just getting into fitness, sports injuries can be a frustrating and painful setback. The good news? Many of them are preventable with the right preparation, technique, and care. As an athletic therapist, I regularly work with people recovering from injuries that could have been avoided. Here are five of the most common sports injuries I see and how you can lower your risk. 1. Ankle Sprain
2. ACL TearsWhat it is: A tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee, often occurring during sudden stops, pivots, or awkward landings. Common in: Soccer, basketball, skiing, and other high-impact or pivot-heavy sports. Prevention tips:
3. Rotator Cuff Injuries What it is: Strains or tears in the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Common in: Baseball, tennis, swimming, CrossFit, and other overhead sports. Prevention tips:
4. Shin Splints What it is: Pain along the front or inner part of the lower leg, often from overuse or improper mechanics. Common in: Runners, dancers, and high-intensity training participants. Prevention tips:
5. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) What it is: Inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, typically from repetitive wrist and arm motions. Common in: Tennis, pickleball, and any repetitive grip-based sports or movements. Prevention tips:
Final ThoughtWhile no one can completely eliminate the risk of injury, taking a proactive approach through conditioning, recovery, and proper technique can go a long way. If you’re dealing with pain that isn’t going away, or want to build an injury prevention plan tailored to your sport or lifestyle, an athletic therapist can help.

Another big question we hear a lot is: “What is the difference between Physiotherapy and Athletic Therapy?” Physiotherapists work with a wider scope of practice (dealing with other body systems, such as neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory, aside from the musculoskeletal system). Similarly, Physiotherapists are also trained in injury assessment, rehabilitation, and various modalities. However, most Physiotherapists are not trained in emergency care (First Responder).  If you have any questions about anything related to Athletic Therapy and/or Massage Therapy, don’t hesitate to call us at (204) 885-9292 or email us at [email protected].
