Sports Injuries

The most common sports injuries that affect athletes or even people involved in a fitness routine include muscle sprains, swelling and strain, dislocations, and knee, ankle, back and joint injuries. Although these issues are varied, the cause is commonly found in repetitive motion, as well as a lack of flexibility and physical preparation that includes a warm-up and stretching. As a result, the body fails when pushed beyond its limits.
