Injury

• Shoulder impingement- Impingement can be defined as a trapping of the soft tissues in the subacromial space, between the acromion and the humeral head. The entrapment of the soft tissues when moving the shoulder may lead to a painful reaction.
• Rotator cuff tendinitis- is also called impingement, bursitis or biceps tendinitis. These are all different names for the same problem. They mean that there is pain and swelling of the cuff tendons and the surrounding bursa. The bursa is a soft sack that contains a small amount of fluid and cushions the joint.
• Elbow tendinitis- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is swelling of the tendons that bend your wrist backward away from your palm. A tendon is a tough cord of tissue that connects muscles to bones. The tendon most likely affected in tennis elbow is called the exterior carpi radialis brevis.
• Trochanteric Bursitis- also known as greater trochanteric bursitis or greater trochanteric pain syndrome, is a prevalent condition that frequently causes lateral hip pain due to the inflammation of the hip bursa.
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome- syndrome is pain at the front of the knee, around the kneecap.
• Infrapatellar Tendinophaty- (Sometimes known as jumpers knee) is a common soft tissue injury which can cause pain in the tendon below the knee cap (patella).
• Meniscal Injuries- Injury or damage to the meniscus can result from abruptly twisting or rotating the knee; strain during squatting, bending or lifting heavy objects; and hard impacts from a tackle or other sports activity. Injuries can range from a meniscus strain to a partial or full meniscus tear.
• ACL- An anterior cruciate ligament injury is the over-stretching or tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. A tear may be partial or complete. The ligaments which attach the upper leg bone (femur) to the large lower leg bone (tibia) create a hinge joint called the knee.
• MCL- The medial collateral ligament (MCL) runs from the inside surface of the upper shin bone to the inner surface of the bottom thigh bone. This ligament keeps your shin bone (tibia) in place. The MCL is usually injured by pressure or stress on the outside part of the knee.
• LCL- Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) injuries of the knee typically occur due to a sudden varus force to the knee and often present in combination with other ipsilateral ligamentous knee injuries
• Ankle sprain- is the stretching or tearing of ankle ligaments, which support the joint by connecting bones to each other.
• Shin splints- refer to the pain and tenderness along or just behind the large bone in the lower leg.
• Achilles tendinopathy- is a painful condition affecting the Achilles tendon, which attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone.
• Plantar Fasciitis- is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, tissue in the foot used during walking and foot movement
• Trunk sport related injuries- Abdomen, sternum, ribs
• Head sport related injuries- concussion, skull
• Athlete’s foot and blisters- Foot fungus and blisters are caused by the same fungus, but the fungus grows differently in the two places.
