In the realm of sports, where athletes push their physical limits in pursuit of victory, injuries are an inevitable part of the journey. From the crack of a bat on the baseball diamond to the thunderous roar of a crowd at a basketball game, each sport presents its own unique set of challenges and risks. Overuse injuries stand as a testament to the demanding nature of athletic pursuits, often occurring in areas such as the knee, shoulder, or foot.

Overuse Injuries

Most sports injuries are distinctive to the activity at hand, like the throwing injuries prevalent in baseball. However, overuse injuries affect athletes and non-athletes alike. These injuries often happen gradually, stemming from repetitive strain or improper technique, leading to discomfort, pain, and restricted mobility.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, also referred Toas “runner’s knee” or “jumper’s knee” is characterized by pain around the kneecap. The throbbing ache and stiffness associated with PFPS can hinder daily activities like climbing stairs or kneeling, impacting both athletic performance and quality of life.
