FAQs β Basketball Injuries in Dundas
How long does an ankle sprain take to heal for a basketball player?
Grade 1 ankle sprains: 1β2 weeks with physiotherapy. Grade 2: 3β6 weeks. Grade 3 (complete ligament tear): 6β12 weeks before return to full basketball. Without proper physiotherapy and proprioception retraining, re-sprain rates in basketball players are as high as 70%.
What is jumper's knee and how is it treated?
Jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy) is chronic pain and degeneration of the patellar tendon below the kneecap, common in basketball players from repeated jumping. It is treated with heavy slow resistance training (eccentric loading), load management, and progressive return to jumping. It is notoriously stubborn but responds well to the right physiotherapy protocol.
