Gym injuries are common and also preventable, by focusing on a proper warm-up, using correct form, and increasing your weight or reps slowly over time.

- Warm up: Spend five to ten minutes doing light cardio and dynamic stretches before you lift weights or run to get blood flowing to cold muscles

- Use correct form: Always prioritize proper posture and technique over lifting heavier weights. Ask a staff member or trainer to check your alignment on big movements like squats and deadlifts.

- Progress gradually: Increase your workout weight or total volume by no more than ten percent each week to avoid overuse injuries

- Listen to your body: Stop immediately if you feel sharp or sudden pain. Do not try to push through it

- Rest and recover: Take scheduled rest days and get enough sleep so your muscles have time to rebuild and repair

We always recommend you seek Physiotherapy assistance where needed.

Running is an accessible, high-impact cardiovascular exercise that profoundly transforms both body and mind. It significantly strengthens the heart, lowers resting blood pressure, and boosts bone density.

With most exercise, there is always a risk of injury, here are a few tips to help prevent injuries.

- Avoid doing too much too soon. Limit weekly increases in your running distance or time to 10%
- Warm-Up: Prepare muscles before a run with dynamic movements like leg swings, rather than static stretching
- Cadence Adjustment: Aim for a higher step count (e.g., 170-180 steps per minute) to reduce impact stress on your knees
- Strength & Stability: Focus on the glutes, quads, and core. Incorporate single-leg exercises like lunges and calf raises 2-3 times a week to stabilize joints
- Listen to the Body: Address fatigue and minor aches immediately; don't run through pain that exceeds a 4 out of 10 on an exertion scale

Ankle sprains are common and can range from a minor sprain to more severe. Sometimes these injuries can be managed at home, especially during the initial first 3 days with the simple RICE method. Ideally early intervention is best to reduce swelling, pain and to speed up recovery

We always recommend to get assessed if you feel it's necessary as a Physiotherapist is able to determine the severity of an ankle injury during an assessment. They can rule out severe damage (brakes/fractures) with scan referrals etc.
