Martial Arts
Overview
Martial arts combine striking, grappling and balance—rehab targets joint mobility, impact tolerance and rapid change-of-direction control.
Common Injuries or Challenges
Knee and ankle sprains, shoulder strain, groin/hamstring injuries
Overuse from repetitive striking or grappling positions
Assessment Approach
Sport-specific functional screens (kicks, pivots, takedown mechanics), balance and reaction testing, and joint mobility checks.
Rehab & Return to Sport Plan
Restore range, build dynamic stability, practice sport-specific drills with progressive contact or resistance, and reintroduce sparring under controlled conditions.
