Exercise Physiology for Soft Tissue Injuries
At JY Exercise Physiology, i specialise in the management and treatment of soft tissue injuries through personalised exercise programs. Soft tissue injuries, including muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendon injuries, can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities and enjoy life to the fullest. I am dedicated to helping you recover, strengthen, and prevent future injuries through targeted exercise interventions.
Understanding Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and can result from various causes, including
Acute trauma
Overuse
Improper technique
Inadequate warm up and cool down
Muscle imbalances
Sudden increase in intensity
Reduced rest and recovery
Incorrect footwear and equipment
Poor periodisation
Common Soft Tissue Injuries Include
Soft tissue injuries affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments, often resulting from sudden trauma, repetitive movements, or improper loading. Common injuries include:
Muscle Strains: Tears or overstretching of muscle fibers, often in the back, hamstrings, or shoulders.
Ligament Sprains: Stretched or torn ligaments, especially in the ankles, knees, and wrists.
Tendinopathies: Overuse injuries causing tendon pain and dysfunction, such as Achilles tendinitis or tennis elbow.
Bursitis: Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints, leading to pain and limited mobility.
These injuries can limit your ability to perform daily tasks, stay active, and enjoy life but with the right approach, recovery is possible.
