Overuse Injuries
Physiotherapy for overuse injuries in Reading
Overuse injuries develop when repetitive load outpaces recovery. They tend to come on gradually and affect tendons, bones, and joints.
Common Symptoms
- Gradual onset of pain with activity
- Pain that worsens over days or weeks

- Reduced performance
Common Causes
- Rapid increases in training
- Repetitive activity
- Inadequate recovery
- Poor technique or equipment
- Muscle imbalance
How Physiotherapy May Help
Your physiotherapist will assess the affected area and your training load. Treatment may include manual therapy, a graded strengthening programme, and advice on load management and recovery to help you return to activity safely.
