Avoid strains and sprains this winter!

Falls are more likely during the winter when sporting performance is reduced in cold conditions, and slips and trips are more frequent.

Ligaments and muscles acting on the joints of the knees, shoulders, and wrists are most commonly injured.

Warm up thoroughly before playing and
wear appropriate protective gear as necessary.

“I’ve done physio before and it didn’t work”

“I’ve done my exercises but they’re not helping”

“I don’t see how exercise can make my pain go away?”

Sound familiar?

The truth is progression and improvement take time. Some days your exercises will feel easier than others. Some days they might be a bit sore. The journey may feel a bit never ending. However, keeping going and being consistent will ultimately bring you results!

Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy is an injury to the band of tissue (tendon) that connects the muscles in your lower leg to your heel bone.

You may get pain, stiffness and sometimes swelling local to your heel. It's a common injury, especially if you're very active or do lots of sports.

Aside from rest, ice and pain relief, heel raise splints and physiotherapeutic rehab can help resolve the pain and symptoms.
