HELP WITH INJURIES

The benefits of sports and exercise far outweigh the risks, but occasionally injuries do happen

Sports injuries can be caused by an accident – such as a trip of fall, not warming up properly before exercising, poor technique, pushing yourself too hard or aggravation of a pre-existing injury. Almost any part of the body can be injured, including the muscles, bones, joints and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments). The ankles and knees are particularly prone to injury

There is good general advice on sports injuries on the NHS website – see NHS WEBSITE

But we also have a variety of specialist sports therapists working in the Bath area
