SPORTS INJURY REHABILITATION
What are Sports Injuries?
“Sports injuries” are injuries that happen when playing sports or exercising. Some are from accidents; others can result from poor training practices or improper gear. Some people get injured when they are not in proper condition. Not warming up or stretching enough before you play or exercise can also lead to injuries.
