Sports Injuries: An introduction

This year for me has been about injuries, their treating, rehabilitation and prevention. Thankfully I’m pretty much healed and now on the road back to full fitness but I couldn’t help but wish there were more simple and clear tools and advice out there to help prevent these injuries in the first place.

So I thought I’d start my own post. I have already shared a few articles on injury:

• Rehabilitating a sprained ankle
• Injury update: protection and active recovery (rest)
• Wrist Tendonitis A summary of the wrist injury I suffered in April
• Examining the wrist: A guide for sports physicians and physiotherapists by the British Journal of Sports medicine.
• Feel: Practice your handshake For rehab and prevention develop your feel and rely less on forcing the play or your shots.
• Competing when you are weakened Finding the positive life lessons out of an injury.
• What I’m learning from my injuries Lessons learned from the recovery process.

Now I want to pursue this in a more organised fashion. So that I don’t have to suffer with injuries again and hopefully neither will you.
