Sports-Related Injuries

Are you currently an athlete competing at a high-level or someone who enjoys getting their workout in by playing sports?

If you said yes, you have also probably suffered from an injury at some point during your athletic career. It could have been a minor injury where you could bounce back quickly or a more severe injury that required months of rehabilitation to get your body prepared to return to sport.
