Injury does not need to occur on a sports field to qualify as a sports injury.
A sports injury can be defined as trauma inflicted to muscles, tendons ligaments or other associated soft tissues surrounding the above and the joints that they protect. 

A sports injury can caused by gardening, building, farming or simply making the bed. Furthermore, one need not suffer from immediate impact or trauma to experience a sports injury, as the onset of pain may gradually creep up on you due to overuse syndrome. 

 

Treatment will be decided, based on a full examination and assessment of the injury. Treatment modalities will normally comprise of some or all of the following:

· Sports Massage

· Electrotherapy

· Mobilisations

· Postural Realignment                            

· Gait Analysis

· Mobility and Flexibility Exercises

· Strength and Cardio Programmes

· Core Stability Routine

Sports massage aims to improve the suppleness and flexibility of muscles and joints, improve blood circulation, speed up the healing of damaged or stressed muscles, tissues and joints, and prevent future muscle and tendon injuries.
