We all know how important it is for our overall health to take regular exercise and it can be frustrating when injury prevents us from taking part in our favourite sport or activity. Strained muscles, torn knee ligaments, ankle tendon injuries, metatarsal fracture, damage to the hip or spine – the list goes on and all cause pain, prevent training and participation and lead to reduced levels of fitness. With any sporting injury it is essential to get expert medical assessment and treatment to ensure that healing takes place as quickly as possible, allowing you to get back to fitness.
