Sports Injury Leeds
Sporting injuries such as ‘pulled muscles’ or aching joints can severely reduce your performance and make playing your favourite sport uncomfortable and un-enjoyable. The temptation is to hope the injury will go away if you ‘play through it’, but this can lead to the condition becoming much worse.
Causes & aggravating factors of injuries
- Inadequate training or fitness level for event
- Not warming up well enough – please note that static stretching has been shown to be detrimental to your performance
- Not stretching or cooling down adequately after an event.
- Playing while ‘carrying’ an injury
- Incorrect technique EG: using your back while weight training your upper limbs.
- Inadequate recovery programme from previous injury (including lack of rehabilitative exercises).
- Underlying muscle imbalance.
- Altered running style due to ‘flat feet’.
- Underlying joint dysfunction EG: pelvic, Sacro-iliac, lower back or hip joint restriction can cause persistent hamstring and groin muscle strain.
Our chiropractors in Leeds are trained in Sacro-occipital Technique (SOT), a popular, post graduate whole body system of diagnosis and treatment, and have years of experience in dealing with all types of injuries. We also work alongside a masseur and podiatrist. This makes us ideally suited to diagnose and address the above mentioned causes and treat the injury. We can also design a rehabilitative programme to help you recover and go back to playing your sport in confidence.
