Running Injuries

Running injuries are common among athletes and can occur due to factors like improper footwear, overtraining, or poor running technique. These injuries often affect the knees, shins, feet, and hips, manifesting as pain, swelling, or difficulty moving. They can include conditions like tendonitis, stress fractures, and plantar fasciitis. Prevention focuses on gradually increasing mileage, using supportive shoes, and incorporating strength training and flexibility exercises. If injuries occur, rest, ice, and appropriate medical intervention are crucial for recovery and to avoid long-term damage, allowing runners to safely return to their activity.
