Sports Injuries and Recovery

Begin with a plain definition. Cleveland Clinic gives it in one line. Sports injuries are common muscle, bone or soft tissue injuries that occur during physical activities.

So the first instruction is about timing. Note which activity you were doing when the injury happened. Readers in Wayne who play or train often will find that note useful at any appointment.
