Sports Injuries

Whether it happened last week—or five years ago—your body remembers.

Injuries from sport and activity aren’t always as simple as they seem.

The pain might settle, but the body adapts..

..and those adaptations can lead to compensation, instability, or recurring injury. Sometimes long after you think you’ve healed.

Whether you’re dealing with a new strain or an old injury that never quite healed right, your structure matters.

If your body can’t move the way it’s meant to, it will find workarounds, and that’s how short-term injuries become long-term problems.

Common sports injuries we see and treat:

Ankle sprains
Shoulder instability or impingement
Knee injuries (ACL, meniscus strain)
Hip or groin tightness
Tendon issues (Achilles, patellar, hamstring)
Recurring pain after “healed” injuries that were never corrected structurally
Why do these injuries happen, or keep coming back?
Poor form or biomechanics during training
Muscle imbalances or joint instability
Overtraining or fatigue
Previous injuries that weren’t fully corrected
Structural issues that overload the wrong areas

So what can you do?

You can stretch, strengthen, rest, or tape it, but if your body is still compensating for an old injury or imbalance, the pattern will continue, and so will the frustration.

At The Backstory, we don’t just treat where it hurts. We assess how your injury affected your body, and what your body has been doing to cope ever since.

Trade in: ❌ Temporary fixes ❌ Rest and re-injury cycles ❌ Compensation patterns that never go away.

For: ✅ A body that moves the way it’s designed to ✅ Confidence to train without fear of flare-ups ✅ Long-term correction, not just symptom management.
