In this breakdown, I cover the most common sports injuries I see in athletes—muscle strains, tendon injuries, ligament sprains, and bone fractures. I explain what happens at the physiological level during these injuries, the anatomy involved, and how the body heals over time. I also dive into the different grades of severity for each type of injury and why understanding these distinctions is critical for proper recovery.
Throughout, I emphasize how strength training, controlled loading, and progressive rehab not only reduce the risk of these injuries but also play a key role in supporting the healing process and preventing long-term issues like instability or re-injury.
