SPORTS INJURIES
Injuries doing the sport you love or for some of you the sport that pays you are no fun. Research tells us that the largest risk factor for injury is previous injury which is why the right treatment and rehab is so essential. In many cases sports injuries occur from things in your control and there are signs and symptoms beyond pain that you can look out for.
Common causes include:
-
Prolonged or abnormally severe muscle soreness
-
Limited ranges of motion
-
Discomfort with certain movements eg hip pain during a squat
-
Long recovery times or significant fatigue
-
Noticeable size or strength differences between left and right sides of the body
Failing to address issues like these may lead to injuries like:
-
Shoulder pain (rotator cuff disorder, bursitis etc)
-
Knee pain (patella tendonitis, ligament strains, meniscus tears etc)
-
Hip pain (Pinched hip, Labral tear, osteitis pubis etc)
-
Rolled ankles
-
Muscle tears (hamstring, quad etc)
-
Other overuse type injuries
