Running And Sports Injuries

Whatever sport or activity you chose to pursue to keep you in shape, every now and again the odd injury is bound to crop up. Endurance runners are particularly prone to picking up muscle and tendon strains due to the repetitive and regularity of the training.

In most cases, the majority of injuries can be prevented. For example, if you are a runner, it is essential that you wear the correct running shoes for your specific running gait and follow professional advice on how to prepare for your race safely and effectively. All it takes is one incorrect training run performed too intensely and injury can strike, potentially sidelining you for weeks.

However, sometimes injuries just happen and this page is dedicated to advising you on how treat a range of injuries from strained hamstrings to achilles tendonitis.

As always, if you have an injury which you would like explaining, drop us an email and we'll endeavour to feature it on the site.
