Back injuries in sport

Back injuries are frequent among people who regularly play sport with canoeists, golfers and cricketeers particularly susceptible.

Common back injuries amongst previous clients have included:

• Muscle strain
• ligament strain
• Broken bones
• Prolapsed discs

Risk factors of personal injury through sport

Inexperience - beginners are more prone to injuries as they often do not have the skills to meet the demands of the sport.

Poor technique - holding or moving the body incorrectly can put unnecessary strain on joints, muscles and ligaments. Back injuries, shoulder injuries, neck injuries,spinal injuries and ankle injuries are all likely.

Failure to wear protective equipment – knee pads, elbow pads, helmets, life jackets and gum shields are some examples of safety equipment that should be worn.

Overtraining - too much training can overuse certain parts of the body resulting in wrist injuries and shoulder injuries for example.

What to do if you sustain a personal injury

• Stop activity immediately to prevent any further damage
• Seek medical advice and/or treatment
• Do not resume activity until you have completely recovered
