Start Your AssessmentWhat hockey does to your body.
Hockey is a sport of constant movement. Players cover enormous distances at high intensity, combining explosive sprints with rapid direction changes, low body positions, and physical contact. The bent-over playing posture unique to field hockey places sustained load on the lower back, hips, and knees throughout every match and training session.
At H.O.M.E, House of Movement & Excellence in Saket, South Delhi, we have direct experience working with hockey players at the highest level through the National Hockey Academy. We understand what your body goes through in a match and we build your rehabilitation around getting you back to performing at your best on the field.
Common hockey injuries we treat.
Lower Back Pain & Disc Injuries
The sustained forward flexion posture of hockey places repetitive load on the lumbar spine. Lower back pain, disc bulges, and facet joint irritation are extremely common in hockey players at all levels.
Hamstring & Quadriceps Strains
Explosive acceleration and sudden deceleration during play place high demand on the thigh muscles. Hamstring and quadriceps strains range from mild to severe and require careful graded rehabilitation.
Knee Injuries
The bent knee position sustained throughout play, combined with rapid pivoting and contact, makes knee ligament injuries and meniscus tears common in hockey players. ACL injuries occur during sudden direction changes.
Ankle Sprains
Fast lateral movements on turf surfaces make ankle sprains a frequent occurrence in hockey. Poorly rehabilitated ankle sprains lead to chronic instability that affects a player’s ability to change direction at speed.
Shoulder & Wrist Injuries
Stick handling, hitting, and contact situations create significant load through the upper limb. Shoulder dislocations, AC joint injuries, and wrist fractures are common in hockey players, particularly from contact and falls.
Hip Flexor & Groin Strains
The low body position and explosive hip movements in hockey place high demand on the hip flexors and groin. Chronic groin pain is a significant problem for hockey players who train and compete frequently.
