Sports Injuries Physiotherapy

Sports injuries again generally refer to the musculoskeletal system and are often traumatic (i.e. a specific time of injury) but can be due to the overuse or incorrect use of structures (e.g. Achilles Tendonitis).
Some injuries are more common to certain sports, for example, field sports players tend to pick up ankle, knee and shoulder injuries more often than long distance runners, who would be more inclined to suffer from overuse injuries like tendonitis or chronic low back pain.
