Common Types Of Sports Injuries

Some common sports injuries that can be treated with the help of a sports physiotherapist in Singapore are:

Ligament Sprains/ Tear: Ligament is a soft tissue in the joint that serve as a restrainer for 2 bones. It allows some degree of movement of the joint in a certain direction but not another. Poor biomechanics of the joint due to weak muscles surrounding the joint or poor balance will put more strain on the ligament and sometime tear it totally. The common ligamental injurys in sports:
- Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) and deltoid ligament in the ankle are due to inversion or eversion sprain of the ankle.
- Acromioclavicular ligament in shoulder is usually caused by direct impact in contact sport such as rugby.
Anterior cruciate ligment (ACL), Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), Medial collateral ligament (MCL) in the knee commonly due to twisting action of the leg with the foot planted to the floor or due to a fall in an awkward angle.
Muscle Strain/ Tear: This can happen when there is a tear in the muscle fibers. It is usually an overuse injury in athletes. However, even if you are not active, you may also strain your muscles if you suddenly overexert yourself in a physically demanding task. Depending on the extent of the strain, most strains can be maintained with rest, icing and off the counter medicine. Soccer players and runners tend to get hamstrings and calf strain as a result of overexertion.

Tendinitis/ Tendinosis/ Tendinopathy/ Tendon Rupture: A tendon is the non-stretchy fibrous band at the end of the muscle that connect the muscle to the bone. Tendinitis or tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon whereas tendinopathy is the degeneration of the tendon. Tendon rupture is a tear in the muscles that is mostly due to preexisting wear and tear. These injuries are repetitive strain injuries that is caused by performing a movement repeatedly for a long period of time or a sudden increase in training frequency, duration and intensity of a sport. The common tendon injury relating to sports are:
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow which occur in the extensor and flexor of the elbow respectively.
- De Quervain’s tenosynovitis which is the inflammation of the tendons in the thumb due to repeated wrist movement and forceful gripping.
- Rotator cuff or biceps tendinitis in the shoulders which is often due to repeated overhead movement of the shoulder in sports such as baseball, tennis, swimming and basketball.
- Achilles tendon is a thin tendon at the back of your ankle. Rupture to this tendon is rare in young and healthy tendon. However, rupture can result in a sudden pain and inability to walk properly.

Joint Dislocation: Joint dislocation is a common sports injury whereby the bones at the joint is displaced or dislocated from its proper position due to a tear in a ligament or two that holds the bones together. Shoulder joint is most susceptible to dislocation as it is a highly mobile ball and socket joint with a very shallow socket. The joint is mainly stabilised by ligaments and rotator cuff muscles. An open packed shoulder position during a racket or ball game, whereby one's arm is overhead ready to serve or receive a ball, is the most vulnerable position for our shoulder. Most dislocations happen during this position. A person will feel a sharp pain and sudden weakness in the arm when the joint is out of alignment.
Fractures: Our bone is the hardest structure in the body. Thus, in order to break a bone or sustain a fracture, you will require tremendous amount of impact to the bone. Fractures are a common sightings in contact sports such as rugby and soccer or high risk sports like gymnastics. Weakness in the muscles and joint stiffness are inevitable in the healing process of a fracture as most fractures requires immobilisation for at least 6 weeks. However, these complications can be fully resolved through proper rehabilitation with Physiotherapy.

Causes Of Sports Injuries

Sports are a physically challenging activity and some common causes of sports injuries are as follows:

Overtraining: Overtraining can often result in muscle strains and cramps because your muscles are not used to this much exertion and they do not get enough time to recover and heal. This results in chronic wear and tear in muscles, tendons, and joints.
Impatience: After an injury, sportsmen often get impatient and they want to get back to their routine as soon as possible which often results in injury.
Imbalance Training: All sports training sessions are designed to strengthen the entire body of an athlete. Any imbalance will result in strengthening one part of the body and weakening the other part which will result in an injury.
Delayed Treatment: Athletes tend to live with a certain amount of constant pain and ignore their pain or swelling which turns a minor pain into a serious sports injury.

With regular sessions, persistent pain diminishes, and muscles regain strength—without relying on heavy medications or extended rest.

Improved flexibility supports everyday activities and lowers the risk of injury during exercise, sports, or routine movements.

Tight muscles can lock joints and restrict effortless movement. Deep tissue massage in Singapore stretches stubborn muscle fibres, boosts muscle elasticity, and naturally frees stiff joints. Whether reaching for high shelves or bending during sports, improved flexibility lets you move more easily and safely throughout your daily activities.
