(Sunday Runner )
I enjoy running a lot but had to stop my favourite hobby due to an injury with my meniscus. I was already considering a knee operation but thanks to the fantastic and very professional help of PhysioActive, I was able to get back on the running track. It is amazing what can be done under the guidance of a skilled physiotherapist.
Injuries can slow you down and cause you pain. Left untreated, they may also worsen and turn into chronic problems. In time, injuries can even limit your motion, movement, and ability to walk, exercise, or play sports. This is true whatever the cause of your injury.

It can be hard to decide what symptoms are serious enough to justify making an appointment.
Online health sites can help you to research your symptoms before contacting a health professional but remember, many conditions have similar symptoms.
If you are feeling lost, unsure or amiss, call us for advice and book an appointment to put your mind at ease.
Preventing injuries sometimes just takes a little thought and time.
By taking another look at your environment and lifestyle, you can respond to potential risks and keep situations manageable.
Sports injuries in particular, can also be prevented by preparing your body for the level of intensity. Overuse injuries and traumatic injuries can be avoided by using proper techniques and engaging in Strength & Conditioning Training.
The types of treatment that you receive will depend on your condition. Your physiotherapist might utilise a variety of treatment techniques, such as:
Shockwave therapy
Dry needling
Manual therapy
Clinical massage
Exercise terapy
Ultrasound
Electrotherapy
Thermotherapy & Cryotherapy
Taping & Strapping
Research has shown that bad weather causes a drop in atmospheric pressure, which makes soft tissue swell and fluid around the joints expand. The expansion and contraction of muscles can also irritate damaged nerves (from old injuries) and cause pain. It is therefore important to receive appropriate treatment for your injury to prevent further complications.
The R.I.C.E procedure is an industry-validated approach for the treatment of acute injuries such as a sprain or strain.
*Rest
*Ice
*Compression
*Elevation
The primary goal of R.I.C.E. is to bring pain and swelling under control as quickly as possible.
