- Self manage your injury with expert physio guidance
Many basketball injuries can be effectively self managed with the help of expert advice from a Chartered Physiotherapist / Physical Therapist.
The most common basketball injury is a sprained ankle, usually caused when a player lands on anothers foot and goes over on the ankle, and therefore most often affecting the lateral ligaments (outside of the foot).
The chance of a basketball ankle injury either occurring or reoccurring can be minimsed with the judicious use of basketball fitness drills which include basketball stretches and proprioceptive work.
