<\/a><\/p>\nEveryone is susceptible to injury while exercising and, depending on the cause, location and severity of the injury, this can lead to disability.<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, sports injuries can be divided into acute injuries and overuse injuries.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Among acute injuries, <\/strong>macrotrauma injuries are the most common. They are described as single, violent events with a sudden onset and distinct form of injury. They are more often associated with team sports involving physical contact, such as football, basketball or rugby.<\/li>\n
- Overuse injuries <\/strong>are characterised by their protracted nature, as they are caused by gradual and progressive microtraumas. They are related to the constant stress on the structures, for example due to a specific technical movement that is not performed correctly or even due to external factors, such as the use of inappropriate footwear. This type of injury is associated with all sports that involve a predominantly aerobic type of training, such as cross-country running, tennis and cycling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sports injuries can be subdivided into soft tissue injuries, which include ligament, muscle and tendon injuries, and skeletal injuries, which include bone injuries.<\/p>\n
Both training load and adaptation are essential factors in injury prevention. Find the best solution and eliminate external factors that can put you at risk of injury, such as weather conditions, hydration, diet, the type of surface on which you exercise, and even rest.<\/p>\n
It is important to know your limits and learn the basics of training so that you can gradually adapt to the effort. In the event of an injury, we strongly advise you to seek the help of a multidisciplinary team that will enable you to return to your physical activity or sport as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
The treatment of a sports injury should not begin without an initial medical assessment. Com Corpus has a large clinical team<\/a> to ensure proper communication between the physician and the physiotherapist who will treat you. Tests and blood work may be prescribed in order to better identify the pathology. You will need to make a physical and rehabilitation medicine<\/a> or sports medicine<\/a> appointment<\/a> with one of our physiatrists<\/a> for physiotherapy sessions at Com Corpus.<\/p>\n
If you need treatment for sports injuries, please contact<\/a> our physiotherapy clinics in Lisbon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
