Sports Injury
How to Recover Fully From Sports Injuries!
If you’ve recently picked up a sports injury or you’ve been putting up with one for a while, it can be very tempting to put it down as “nothing serious” and only a “slight strain”.
The problem is unless it’s a very minor injury and you are younger than 30, then the injury is more often than not likely to persist and cause further strains due to affecting the way you move during sport. These “slight strains” can add up and lead to a big problem or multiple mini strains that can make playing sport not that much fun.

Has this happened to you?
Why do Sports Injuries go on longer than it should? Well, with so much conflicting advice, so many options and everyone more than happy and willing to put their 2 pence into how to fix a Sports Injury, it’s really easy to get confused about the best way forward.
You see, Sports Injuries can actually be really complicated. It’s all down to how you move during sport. And this means addressing how not only say a sprained ankle or sore knee moves during sport, but also addressing the hips and lower back too. As if one joint is stiff, it can affect another joint and put unnecessary strain on it causing repeated injuries… You could have spent hours icing a sore ankle, when really the ankle was just being “overloaded” from a stiff hip on the same leg.
So, there’s no wonder you never got any relief…
If you don’t know what you’re doing with a Sports Injury then it can persist for years and sadly instead of the underlying problem being fixed, people learn to accept it and sadly give up on sport. Woefully this means they accept giving up on all the positive benefits sports has – including physical and mental wellbeing.
It’s Been Months Now, Why Is This Injury Still Affecting My Favourite Sport?
Most people think that when they get a Sports Injury that it will just “ease off” and go away on its own.
That if they rest it or ice it enough, that they will wake up one morning and play their sport and “hey presto” the injury will have gone. But in reality, 6 months later the injury is still there and often much worse than it was when it first started.
Another scenario that we see in our Physio clinic is when people get Sports Injury advice from medical professionals and are told to “rest”, “take painkillers” and “see how it goes”. But this is rarely the best advice, and 6 weeks later they end up back with the same medical professional still unable to play sport and often frustrated at their lack of progress. Whilst their friends exercise, improve their handicaps and catch up together each week.
If You Are Currently Living with a Sporting Injury, Here Are 7 reasons It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
- You thought it would go away on its own, but it didn’t.
- You tried rest and some anti-inflammatories, but your sports injury still irritates you daily.
- You tried to ignore it and put it down to your age.
- You’ve tried a few “nice massages”, but these haven’t fixed it.
- You’ve seen other medical professionals, but they didn’t seem to make a difference.
- You tried hot packs or cold gel packs, but these have done nothing to help resolve your Sports Injury.
- You “Googled” or “YouTubed” for Sports Injury exercises but these made it 10x worse.
If any of these things have happened to you, then we would love to hear from you.
