I have a sports injury – how did that happen? “Sports injury” is a term that can be used to describe any injury sustained while exercising or performing some sort of athletic activity. There are two ways in which sports injuries can occur: suddenly, such as one football player colliding with another, or over time, through repetitive motions, such as improperly lifting heavy weights at the gym or running in ill-fitted shoes. Simply put, anything that results in pain while performing physical activity can be considered a sports injury.
• Sprains • Strains • Fractures • Tears
Overuse injuries are caused by excessive repetitive movements over time. Some examples of overuse injuries include: • Jumper’s knee • Flexor tendinitis • Shin splints
• Tennis elbow • Golfer’s elbow
