We see a lot of stress fractures in the tibia as well as the lower back due to a collapse of the foot arch when bowling.

When you forcefully rotate your body with high speed, the foot, knee and hip will collapse. This will cause a grate rotational force through the tibia and the lower back. When doing this repetitively with overtraining, the patient will develop a stress fracture.

Just like running you should focus on improving one leg balance and overall strength while in this position.
Exercise: external rotation of the hip and glutes exercise.
Definitely look at your foot arch and if you need orthotics for support.

Overwhelming much? You are not going to get all of them right, but you can take one thing at a time and before you know it, you are healthy and happy.

Hot or Cold Therapy?
Everybody ask us when to use hot and cold therapy.

Hot: Muscle pain and stiffness.
Cold: Acute injury (24-72 hours, or after surgery.
Alternate hot and cold therapy: after 72 hours.

Sleep is the best way to recover. Fixing your sleep quality improves your pain level and repair pathology.
SLEEP! SLEEP! SLEEP!

Hydration:
Most people tell us but they do drink a-lot of water, but the real question is, are you absorbing the water?
You sometimes need some electrolytes/ salt in the water for the body to transport the water into your cells. Your body is made up of 60% water. How do think your body is going to function if you are dehydrated.

Rest is not rehab:
Active recovery is the only way the injury will heal. With progressive loading and activation of the muscle, the injury will recover at the optimal level, to avoid any re-injury.

Compression:
Compression will control the swelling. Swelling is the body's way to healing. Too much swelling is a problem.
"Old swelling" is a problem. We want to promote fast healing by adequate blood circulation, for inflammation to come and go. The compression will assist with a firm blood flow to and from the injury. Stabilisation of the joint will also give time for the structure to grow without disturbances in the tissue healing process.

Mobility/ flexibility with breathing:
Taken for granted. This is like the greens on the
plate. Most people don't really want it, but it is one of the key aspects to a healthy- painfree body.
Breathing into a stuck-stiff-shorten space will open up your myofascial suit into extension, and brake the flexion mold you are stuck in. This will also calm down your nervous system. You will not heal if your body thinks it is fighting for survival the whole time.
Using tools like a foam roller, massage balls and a peanut will assist with moving and hydrating the fascia to be less like a dried up chewing gum and more pliable for movement.

Weight training is important for everyone -the athlete, the stay-at-home mom, and the dad who does DIY projects on the weekends.

Especially for women, muscle mass decreases by 8% every 10 years. Without muscle, fat-burning capabilities are minimal, joint stability declines, and pain increases.

Walking around the block is a great start! But don't forget to incorporate weights, resistance bands, or even just bodyweight exercises like planks, squats, lunges, and push-ups.

Think about it-you need protein, veggies, fruit, and carbs for a balanced diet. So why would you focus only on cardio when you also need strength, flexibility, and rest?
Work on your overall health to reduce pain and improve your well-being.

Try the gym at EG Jansen High School, “Die Kragstasie” as a start.

Passive treatment is not wrong or a bad option-it's simply a temporary fix for your situation. However, combining active and passive treatment creates lasting effects and leads to a permanent change in your pain pattern.
Many people return to a physiotherapist hundreds of times because it provides momentary relief, but this creates lifelong dependence. That's why, at Conradie Physiotherapists, we focus on fixing the root cause, not just treating the symptoms.
Take responsibility for your body. You can do it-we believe in you!

Love this sport. Sad we did not also get a hockey team for the HPL this year.
Common injuries for hockey players.

Head and Face:
Concussions: A leading concern due to the fast-paced, physical nature of the sport.
Facial Injuries: Cuts, scrapes, bruises, and fractures can occur from contact with the puck, stick, or other players.

Lacerations: Common in the head and neck region due to partial facial protection (visor).

Shoulder and Upper Body:
Shoulder Injuries: Including AC joint separations (where the collarbone and shoulder blade meet) and dislocations.

Fractures: Broken bones in the collarbone, ribs, wrists, and fingers are relatively common.
Upper Extremity Injuries: Sprains and strains in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.

Lower Body:
Knee Injuries: Ligament sprains (MCL, ACL) and meniscus tears are common.
Ankle Injuries: Sprains and fractures, particularly in the ankle and foot.
Hip Injuries: Hip flexor strains, groin strains, and labrum injuries can occur due to the repetitive skating and twisting movements.
Back Iniuries Strains and sorains in the lower back are also possible.

Shin Splints: Medial tibial stress syndrome, a common overuse injury.

Spinal Injuries: Cervical spine injuries, including fractures, are a concern.

Muscle Strains: Hamstring, groin, and quadriceps strains are common.

Exercise does not cause
Osteoarthritis/ joint degeneration.
Doing excessive, repetitive exercise with an increased weight and no technique / control, will cause an injury of the cartilage, that might develop into OA over a long time (years).
Symptoms:
Stiffness in the morning that improves with movement.
Most of the pain is at the end of the day/ with weight bearing.
Swelling.
Anti-inflammatory medication helps.
Exercise helps with joint lubrication and improving bone density.
Osteoarthritis symptoms can usually be managed, although the damage to joints can't be reversed.
Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and receiving physiotherapy treatments might slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.
You can also explore the positive influence of PRP
(Platelet rich plasma) treatment.

"Leave it all on the court."
Ankle injuries are the most common with netball. The athletes then try to use ankle braces in a preventative manor. This actually cause more harm than good: loss of proprioception, ankle strength and range of motion.
Dependance on the brace causes the risk for ankle injuries to be much higher.
The chance of a broken tibia/ fibula (lower leg) is also greater when playing with an ankle brace, because the bone brakes above the brace, with a big fall.
Therefore a netball player should focus on improving ankle stability with exercises.
One leg balance on an uneven surface, throwing a
ball side to side
Lunge
{ Jump on one leg
& Toe exercises: Lift your big toe separate from the rest (small toes), then lift the small toes separate trom the big toe (this is more ditticult than you think).
