7 most common sports injury according to webmd.

  1. Ankle sprain
  2. Groin pull
  3. Hamstring strain
  4. Shin splints
  5. Knee injury: ACL tear
  6.  Knee injury: Patellofemoral syndrome — injury resulting from the repetitive movement of your kneecap against your thigh bone
  7. Tennis elbow (epicondylitis)

Some of these injuries is caused by accident, however most of it is caused by muscular imbalanced. Muscle imbalanced is trigger point pulling its surrounding muscle which causes other part of the muscle group to be tight. The pulling spot is known as a trigger point, every one will have trigger point. Trigger point is form after muscle contract and a small area that is not able to relax back into the original state, causing a restriction in blood flow.

There are a 2 ways to treat this, first you can go for a sports massage which will cost you average $90 to $150 an hour to get a deep tissue massage to release the trigger spot or you can LEARN how to perform a self myofascial release by attending the workshop conducted at Iron Fitness Singapore.
