The Sporting Injury
November 21, 2009It has come to that time in the football and rugby season that we start to see the aches & pains hobbling into clinic.
The chronology of these injuries is always the same, the player starts to feel pain in their back, hip, knee or foot in one of the early games, but resolve to ‘run it off’ – yeah always works that one. They don’t say anything because they want to keep their position in the team, so play on loaded with painkillers and crippled for two days after a game.
Still they soldier on until it gets to the point that their partner forces them into our clinic at gunpoint because they can’t stand the whinging any longer.
Recognise the pattern anyone?
Give me a chance chaps, come in when if first hurts, that way the treatment is simple, effective and quick – honest!
Be healthy your way, but your better off doing it my way!
