Floorball Injury Physiotherapy in Edmonton

How This Physiotherapy Service Works

The process begins with a detailed assessment of your injury history, movement patterns, strength, and sport demands, followed by a progressive rehab plan that may include manual therapy, targeted exercise, neuromuscular retraining, and return-to-play testing; care is guided by current physiotherapy standards and adjusted based on your response and floorball schedule.

Why Floorball Injuries Happen

Floorball places unique demands on the body through rapid direction changes, repeated trunk rotation, low playing stances, and high stick and ball speed on hard indoor surfaces, which together create predictable injury patterns when tissues are overloaded or movement control breaks down.

Common Sudden Direction Changes and Deceleration

Frequent cutting, stopping, and pivoting place high eccentric loads on the knees, ankles, and hips, which can lead to ligament sprains, meniscal irritation, or tendinopathy when strength, timing, or joint control is insufficient.

Common Repetitive Trunk Rotation and Flexed Posture

The combination of rotational shooting mechanics and sustained forward flexion increases stress on the lumbar spine, ribs, and hips, often contributing to low back pain, hip impingement symptoms, or muscular strains if mobility and load tolerance are limited.

Common Overuse of Shoulders, Elbows, and Wrists

Repeated passing, shooting, and stick handling can irritate tendons and joint structures in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, particularly when training volume rises quickly or recovery strategies are inadequate.

Common Risk: Playing Through Pain Without Proper Rehab

Ignoring early symptoms or returning to play too soon can alter movement patterns, reduce reaction time, and increase the risk of more serious injury, longer recovery periods, and recurring issues during the season.

Had the best appointment from Dr. Dahms! I am currently travelling and came in with major neck pain, headaches, foot pain, lower back pain. As soon as I left, I felt like I won the lottery. My headache is gone and my back, my neck and feet are feeling so much better! I can’t wait for my next appointment!

I recently visited Dr. Nicola Dahms for a chiropractic appointment and was very impressed with the experience. She was friendly, attentive, and demonstrated excellent diagnostic skills. I went in for a shoulder issue, and she immediately identified the exact problem area. Her approach was precise and showed genuine care for my well-being.
