Managing Sports Injuries This Fall: Fast-Tracking Recovery with One80 Health

Fall in Toronto is prime time for sports and recreation—from running along the lakeshore to playing pickup hockey, soccer, or enjoying that final round of golf. Unfortunately, more activity can also mean a greater risk of sports injuries: sprained ankles, muscle pulls, tendon pain, or old injuries flaring up just as you want to make the most of the season. At One80 Health, we believe a setback doesn’t have to mean sitting on the sidelines. Our advanced approach to sports injury management focuses on helping you feel better, recover faster, and get back to doing what you love—without unnecessary delays.

Why Are Sports Injuries So Common in the Fall?

When temperatures cool and schedules shift, it’s easy to overdo it—especially if you haven’t stayed as active during the summer, or if you dive into new sports or increase intensity. Common fall sports injuries in Toronto include:

- Ankle sprains or strains

- Knee injuries (such as runner’s knee or meniscal tears)

- Hamstring or calf pulls

- Shoulder pain from racquet sports or hockey

- Shin splints or stress injuries

Sometimes, these injuries come on suddenly. More often, they develop over time from overused muscles, poor warmup routines, or pushing too hard, too soon.

At One80 Health, we know timely, personalized care is key for anyone with a sports injury. We excel at diagnosing the problem early and designing a clear path to a safe, efficient recovery.

Your journey begins with:
