I would like to thank all clients, athletes and coaches, friends and supporters in the industry for continuous support and the great ideas on improving athlete recovery from injury. The most common question my clients pose to me is, "Where do we go from now onwards?".

ESWT is a useful tool for treatment of plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and Calcific tendinitis of the Achilles tendon.

Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) is currently available as an additional tool to assist in the healing of new or non-healing fractures. Stress fractures due to repetitive overloading of joints (e.g. scaphoid bone , Tibial bone , navicular bone) and surgically treated fractures (Internal fixation) can also be treated with LIPUS. Studies have indicated that it may heal fractures up to 38%

Professional athletes who undergo surgery for sports injury would undergo a compulsory duration of a systematic and guided recovery process called injury rehabilitation. The process is initiated as soon as possible to ensure that the site of surgery is allowed to heal swiftly. Initially, various modalities (e.g. cold therapy, electrotherapy) are used to reduce tissue oedema and pain. Soon

Young children aged 5 to 7 years are often enrolled for dance and rhythmic gymnastics classes. A trained dance tutor or coach individualises the teaching of skills and exercise to ensure that exercises are introduced in stages when the child is stronger. More difficult skills would often require a longer duration to allow the dancer to mature and strengthen adequately while he or she practises

Young athletes and dancers often suffer from injury in the knees and foot due to excessive loading of the lower limb (e.g. long distance running, badminton, gymnastics, weightlifting).

If you have done a workout or training and you seem sore the next day, you may need a sports massage. If you've planned your training and prepared well, you could avoid the ache. Often the soreness is non-specific but more focused on the muscles you have worked very heavily. Do check with your doctor or physiotherapist to rule out a muscle injury and if you need more help, get a sports massage.

It is often that one would find a swelling like this (see photo) and would not have had any falls or twists in the joints or limbs. Often it could be due to unaccustomed activity (e.g. sudden increase in training load) and an abnormal gait or poor footwear. If given the proper evaluation, it would be possible to rectify some of the causes to prevent re-injury.

Patients are advised to diagnose their chronic knee pain early so that they may benefit from early intervention measures especially if they have osteoarthritis.

If you have just sprained your ankle or twisted your knee, remember to do RICE Treatment i.e. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Rest the injured part and discontinue play. Apply ice for 15 - 20 minutes only. Use ice cubes or crushed ice in a plastic bag and add water to ensure it isn't too cold! You may insulate it with a dry cloth. You would soon find the swelling less painful and swollen.
