Between the runs, sleds, lunges and wall balls, preparing for HYROX means managing repeated demands on your muscles and joints — especially as training intensity starts to increase.

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Toon D**g Hao shares 5 considerations to keep in mind as you prepare:

- Build strength before chasing speed
- Practise your transitions
- Increase your training load progressively
- Make recovery part of your programme
- Pay attention to pain that persists or affects your movement

Experiencing persistent pain or discomfort during or after your training? An orthopaedic surgeon can help you uncover what might be going on. If needed, they may also provide a referral to a physiotherapist for targeted exercises as part of your recovery plan.

Is your back giving you trouble?

One possible cause of back pain is 𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘆𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 — age-related wear and tear of the lower spine. Over time, discs can thin, joints may stiffen, and bone spurs can form as the body tries to stabilise the area.

These changes may irritate or compress nearby nerves, leading to symptoms like sciatica — pain that radiates down the leg.

In this post, we share the signs of lumbar spondylosis to look out for, and when seeing a specialist may help you take the next step towards recovery.

If you answered 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝘀, this is for you. 👇

Our orthopaedic surgeon Dr Kelvin Guoping shares that a little discomfort when climbing stairs isn’t always a cause for concern. It can happen after a strenuous workout or a day of increased activity, as stair climbing places extra load on your knee joints.

However, if the pain keeps coming back, becomes more noticeable over time, or comes with swelling, instability, or a feeling that your knee may give way, it’s worth having it assessed.

An orthopaedic surgeon can identify what’s causing your symptoms and recommend the most suitable treatment or rehabilitation plan to help you move comfortably again.

With more women taking up the sport, specialists are seeing a rise in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) — especially among women with weak pelvic floors, past pregnancies, or menopause.

The good news: it’s treatable. Pelvic floor physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments can help restore control and confidence — so you can focus on the game.
