Back2Fitness Sports & General Injury Clinic is a specialist in injury treatment, sports massage and rehabilitation in Poole and Bournemouth. Our clinics offer injury treatment for wide variety of injuries particularly soft tissue injuries.
Most cases of ligament can be treated without the requirement of surgery. Early treatment and care of the ligament is crucial to prevent unnecessary scar tissue that becomes problematic and enable the fastest recovery. The principles of RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) should be followed as soon as possible after the injury occurred.
The severity of muscle or ligament injuries are categorised into one of the three grades:-
Grade 1: Less than 25% of the fibres damaged.
The treatment of sprained ligaments consists of specific soft tissue techniques including sports massage, ultrasound, rehabilitation of muscular strength around the joint and proprioception.
Tendon Injuries Tendinopathies/Tendinitis/Tendinosis is a well-debated chronic injury of tendons commonly seen in the Achilles tendon. This condition is categorised with pain first thing in the morning and thickening of the tendon.
Combinations of techniques are required as soon as possible to allow a quicker recovery and reduce the risk of further severe problems. The tendons treatment consists of specific soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises and ultrasound.
