Sports Injury Treatment Northampton

Common Sports Injuries
At our sports injury clinic near Northampton, we frequently treat injuries resulting from both regular athletic participation and occasional physical activity. Some studies have put running injuries at a risk of up to 80% per runner, per year! CrossFit, although high intensity, has recently been found to be comparable to rugby injury rates (although a high proportion of CrossFit injuries are focused on the shoulders or back).
Any sport, done poorly or when deconditioned, carries a high risk of injury - it wasn't that long ago that our sports injury clinic near Northampton was full of people who had been trying the once popular "100 day squat challenge" without any coaching or pre-conditioning.
Take running as an example, probably the most accessible exercise for the average person, easy to do with very little equipment other than a pair of shoes and some comfortable clothing.
The seasoned runner would hopefully know the importance of warming up and cooling down but I'm sure you have been in a situation where you just put your shoes on, open the door and go.
Most of the time you'd be fine but one day there's pain or stiffness during or after the run, then perhaps this becomes the norm. Then one day you go for a run and the ache becomes an injury.
At our sports injury clinic near Northampton, we understand that higher frequency or intensity runners tend to be more susceptible to overuse injuries. This is affected by technique, experience or running further less frequently because the body requires time and gradual training in order to adapt to a running schedule.
Foot function is also important - is the foot mobile and stable enough to deal with the repetitive pavement pounding? If not, what else could be absorbing this stress? The most common running injuries are to the lower limb - foot, ankle, knee, hip and any of the muscles in between. Typically, running is a low load on the spine but various compensating movement patterns could aggravate existing back pains.
