🧠 Understanding Sports Injuries: What Causes Them?

Sports injuries often occur when the body is pushed beyond its physical limits — whether from overuse, lack of warm-up, improper technique, or accidents during high-impact activities. Common causes include:

  • Inadequate stretching before exercise

  • Poor training practices

  • Improper footwear or equipment

  • Sudden changes in activity intensity

  • Collisions or falls during sports play

These situations can lead to a variety of musculoskeletal injuries that require professional evaluation and treatment.
