Athletes have a high risk of injury while participating in sport and the most common sports injuries can all be attributed to podiatric complications.
Athletes push their bodies to the limit and will often risk injury for a better performance.
Podiatric treatment is recommended for athletes for the prevention and treatment of sports-related injuries and a podiatrist should be a key player in any medical team
Treatment will most often fit with the PRICES acronym: protect, rest, ice, compression, elevate, stabilise, with compression and stabilisation techniques used to prevent injury as well as to treat it.
