Sport Injury

What is a Sport Injury?

Sports injuries are injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, or bones that occur during exercise or athletic activity. They range from acute injuries like sprains and strains to overuse injuries that develop gradually over time.

Common examples include ankle sprains, knee ligament injuries, muscle tears, and tennis or golfer's elbow. The right rehabilitation not only heals the injury but also restores strength and helps prevent it from happening again.
