Sports injuries are a common hurdle for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re a professional athlete or just enjoy staying active, injuries can disrupt your routine and put your goals on hold. Fortunately, First Physio Glasgow is here to help you get back to peak performance with expert care and tailored rehabilitation programs.
Common Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can happen for various reasons, from inadequate warm-ups to overuse and sudden impacts. Some of the most common sports injuries include:
•Sprains and Strains: These involve damage to ligaments and muscles, often caused by overstretching or tearing.
•Fractures and Dislocations: High-impact sports can lead to broken bones or joints being forced out of position.
•Tendonitis: Repetitive motions can cause inflammation of the tendons, commonly affecting the shoulders, elbows, and knees.
•Knee Injuries: Conditions like ACL tears or runner’s knee can sideline even the most dedicated athletes.
•Shin Splints: Pain along the shin bone, common in runners and those who increase intensity too quickly.
•Plantar Fasciitis: A common foot injury causing heel pain, often from running or improper footwear.
