Shoulder injuries can be particularly problematic for athletes, affecting their performance and overall well-being. One common but often misunderstood shoulder injury is the SLAP lesion. In this blog, we’ll explore what SLAP lesions are, the common causes and symptoms, and how physiotherapy can play a crucial role in recovery and prevention, especially for athletes.
Achilles tendinopathy is a cause of pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Typically, pain and stiffness will be worse with the first few steps of walking or running in the mornings or after a long period of sitting, and then warm-up with continued walking/running.
Patella tendinopathy, also known as jumper’s knee, involves pain and inflammation in the tendon connecting the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone. This condition commonly affects athletes who engage in sports that involve frequent jumping or running, such as basketball, volleyball, or such as our physio James’ favourite sport: Parkour! The repetitive stress on the patellar tendon can lead to tiny tears, causing pain and weakening the tendon over time.
An Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is a significant knee injury, often occurring in sports that involve sudden stops, changes in direction, or jumping, such as soccer, basketball, and skiing. The ACL is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize your knee joint. When it’s injured, it can result in pain, swelling, and a feeling of instability.
