Injuries to joints and muscles are among the most common reasons people seek physical therapy. Whether caused by sports, work, or everyday activities, these injuries can limit mobility, strength, and confidence.
Understanding Joint & Muscle Injuries
What Are Joint and Muscular Injuries?

Joint injuries can involve sprains, ligament tears, cartilage damage, or overuse conditions that affect stability and motion.
