Accurate imaging helps tailor the right treatment path: whether surgical repair, physiotherapy, or another specialist referral.

In the latest blog, we look at the latest research, the symptoms to watch out for, what gallbladder removal involves and what you can do to help protect yourself.

Sports hernias often go undiagnosed for extended periods, leaving athletes frustrated and off their game. The persistent groin discomfort can linger on, and the pain may worsen with activities like running, twisting, or even coughing and sneezing.

Muscle injuries typically heal with rest, strengthening, and physiotherapy over several weeks. In contrast, sports hernia pain often stubbornly persists or quickly returns as soon as you resume intensive exercise.
