- Ligament sprains including ankle sprains
- Tendon injuries such as Achilles or patellar tendon pain

A physiotherapy assessment can help determine the cause of the injury and guide the most appropriate treatment plan.
Common Causes of Sports Injuries
Sports injuries often occur when training loads increase faster than the body can adapt. Some common contributing factors include:
- Sudden increases in training volume or intensity
- Poor recovery between training sessions
- Muscle weakness or reduced control around joints
- Previous injuries that have not fully recovered
- Repetitive movements in sport or training
- Changes in training routine or equipment
Identifying these factors is an important part of physiotherapy treatment and rehabilitation.
