Runner’s Rehabilitation

Runner’s Rehabilitation

During their career, athletes are constantly living under a vigorous training schedule, trying to keep up their existing performance and improving on their potential to do better. As such, it is not uncommon to hear athletes wearing themselves down and injuring themselves in the process.

Injury is almost synonymous with sports, and there’s hardly an athlete or a runner who has not endured some injury in their lifetime, be it minor or major. But undermining injuries can not only wreck a runner’s career in the long run; it can have severe negative impacts throughout their life.

This is why rehabilitation is of utmost importance for every runner so that they can recover well, minimize the impact of the injury, and boost their overall performance.

Injuries and pain are a common part of a sports person’s life. Apart from mishaps during the event of training, there are some other causes runners seek rehabilitation:

• Overtraining
• Lack of recovery

• Inappropriate training
• Inadequate nutrition
• Muscle imbalances and weakness

Risk Factors

There are no direct risk factors associated with runner’s injuries.
