If you have suffered from injury recurring in the past, you may still have a niggling pain, soreness or stiffness. This may mean the original injury has not healed completely. One of the best ways to avoid recurring injury is to make sure you have had correct treatment from a physiotherapist to deal with the initial injury. Of course, you can always attend your physiotherapist before you embark on any new fitness plan or when taking up exercise after a long gap.

Your physiotherapist can help give you the means to avoid getting injuries during exercise.
