MOST COMMON SPORTING INJURIES AND HOW TO TREAT
As an Osteopath with experience working in the London Olympics and London Marathon, I regularly see the demand of sport on the body, especially the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons.
Generally muscle cramps, sprains and aches are experienced regularly either during an extensive run or after. These general injuries can be prevented by taking the time to properly warm up the major muscles of the body.
Ankle Sprains
This injury is very common amongst runners and usually occurs due to foot imbalance, which could take the form of eversion or inversion (see diagram). This causes the foot to roll in excessively during the running stride causing mild to severe pain and discomfort depending on the mechanism in which the injury occurred. Ankle sprains are defined by the severity of the sprain; Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate) and Grade 3 (severe). With a grade 1 sprain, you may get away with just applying the standard treatment for all acute injuries: RICE, an acronym for rest, ice, compression and elevation. Obviously, a higher grade would require more treatment.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
If you have had a previous ankle injury, it is best to see an Osteopath or Physiotherapist, as your ankle is weak and more vulnerable to future sprains. In order to prevent this, your health care professional will give you advice on strengthening your ankle to enable you to run confidently.
