Strains and sprains are extremely common and can happen during sport, exercise or everyday activities.

We’ll also look at why the injury happened in the first place — whether due to muscle imbalance, sudden overload, movement habits or training factors — to help lower the risk of it happening again.
Whatever you’ve injured — from a hamstring or calf strain to an ankle sprain — we’ll help you return to the activity you enjoy, ready to move with strength and control.
