SPORTS INJURIES

Sports injuries are generally injuries of the soft tissues like muscles, ligaments or tendons. These injuries, whilst commonly caused by sporting activities are not always due to sport! The most important thing with sports injuries is to determine if there are any underlying problems leading to the stress on the soft tissue and addressing those problems as well to prevent the injuries from reoccurring.
