What type of activities may cause sprains and strains?
You don’t have to be a professional sports person to suffer from strains and sprains. You can suffer from these types of ailments at anytime – even mild activity such as walking, stretching or even getting up too quick can cause a tear. This is particularly prevalent to those aged over 60 – this is mainly due to muscle wastage, bones being more brittle and lack of exercise. Most sports carry some risk of developing strains and sprains but the sports such as football, running, gymnastics put additional pressure on the lower limbs.
