Sprains and Strains
What to do when you strain or sprain yourself
We've all done it.......
Whether it was wearing those killer heels when you are used to wearing flats, slipping whilst running down a hill, or simply tripping over the kids left out toys, the majority of us have twisted an ankle or knee at some point in our lives! The key is how to improve the situation once it’s occurred, and following a few simple steps will help you get back to normal again.
PRICE
No not linked to the cost of the injury, merely a pneumonic (see grey box) to help you remember what to do…..Most minor injuries can be improved at home following this simple advice and taking over the counter medication. Ultrasound and taping can also promote healing, and if you have concerns regarding prevention of recurrence or timescales for return to sport (or when you can put your dancing shoes back on) then contact us on enquiries@cathedralphysiotherapy.co.uk.
