Soccer player Leighton Baines has almost reached the end of his recovery from a broken toe and may be able to return to Everton soon. In his absence, his position has been assumed by Bryan Oviedo. Everton was the victor in their last four games, although they hope to do even better when Baines comes back. “Of course we have missed him,” said manager Roberto Martinez. “You can’t underestimate the quality of Leighton and his experience, know-how and what that represents.”

After suffering an injury, athletes usually must go undergo rehabilitation before they’re ready to play again. To understand more about foot rehabilitation, seek the help of a podiatrist like Dr. Stephen Eichelsdorfer of Town Center Foot & Ankle. Dr. Eichelsdorfer can discuss with you the different kinds of ways athletes can injure their feet and ankles and what specific steps must be taken to ensure a smooth recovery.

Foot Rehabilitation for Athletes

Injured athletes are always looking for better, faster ways to aid their recovery and get back to the sport they love. To do this, podiatrists and physical therapists are often consulted so the injured athlete can get back onto the field as soon as possible. But rehabbing an injury is just as serious as the injury itself.

Sports Therapist or Physical Therapist?

If an athlete gets a foot injury, it is essential to receive foot rehabilitation to ensure proper healing. Sports therapists are more focused on athletic-related injuries than general physical therapists. It is important for an athlete to become healed properly because if they attempt to get back into their game before they are physically well, they could re-aggravate the original injury or even suffer a new one due to their weakened state.

Physical Therapy Gives Hope

Physical therapy helps to keep athletes as active as they are physically capable, which will get them ready to return to the field once their feet become healed. Physical therapy often gives hope to athletes. However in cases where the injury is very serious, the athlete may never be able to return to the game; but this does not mean it is the end of the road, as there is always hope to get better.
