From our Stafford Sports Injury Clinic, Nicky and the team are busy helping people just like you back to health.
Recent research has shown that around 30%, that’s a staggering 22 million people, of the UK population suffer a sports injury every year. So the chances are high that most sportspeople will suffer multiple injuries over their sporting careers.
Even worse, of all the people injured, 25% will not be able to carry on playing sport as a direct result of the sporting injury.
If you love your sport, want to keep playing and can’t afford the risk of time off work, then you need to be proactive and make sure you know how to be as well prepared as you can be and know where to get the best treatment, so that if you are injured, you get back to full fitness as quickly as possible.

Chartered Physiotherapists will make an enjoyable exercise programme for self-analysis. This will enable you to recover from an operation, return to sport, or simply improve your everyday life.
Sports Injuries are injuries attributed to sports-related activities. Tennis elbow, for example, can be caused by painting or ironing. These injuries are normally the result of repetitive use or of using your joints and limbs in ways they're not used to.
Environmental situations and stress can also contribute to sports injuries and lingering problems. We prefer to identify the root cause and work with our patients, both physically and emotionally, to truly benefit them.
These range from sprained ankles in rugby, football, rollerskating, running and cycling. Knee issues are common to these sports as well. In Rugby, neck, shoulder and spinal issues result from the ferocity of the sport.
It is surprising, but we also see injuries from bowls clubs, both indoor and lawn. Nicky Snazell and her professional sports injury therapists are here to help you heal and recover to the very best of your ability.
Firstly, it is always recommended to warm up, as this makes your muscles more supple before you spring into action.
Wear the right shoes; footwear is crucial for safe, controlled sports.
Choose the right sportswear for your game, whether it is cricket, hockey, or lawn bowls. Getting companies like Custom-Sportswear.com to provide bespoke playing kits can help prevent injuries caused by ill-fitting team kits.

Sports injuries are often caused by using a joint, muscle, or tendon more than it is used to or in a way slightly outside the norm. Stress or overuse can then cause pain, inflammation or a pull. Stretching and yoga are commonly recommended to improve movement.
Tearing of the hamstrings, pulling of the cruciate ligaments, and pulling of muscles in the back would all cause severe pain and be best managed by a professional Physiotherapist.
A sports injury does not necessarily need to have been necessitated by sports. Sometimes patients ask us why they are going to see a sports therapist when they were washing the car or gardening, we always explain that the injury is best treated by our sports therapy team as the injury falls into this category and as such will be best approached with techniques used for sports injury recovery.
Perhaps the best way to avoid a sports injury is to warm up for certain exercises or tasks. To avoid injury, build up your activities gradually so your body can adapt and improve its fitness to match them. Warming up is crucial; it is often quick, forceful movements or overextension that can cause sports injuries and the resulting pulls and pain.
Massage can help, freeing up joints and muscles so they can open or be used to a greater extent. If you are concerned you might aggravate an old injury, call the team, let us consider your concerns, and have one of our therapy team members provide some recommendations.
