The rotator cuff is the group of

that stabilise your shoulder.

transmitted
from the nerves to the
brain
and back.
KNEE PAIN
Knee pain is often caused by overuse,
meaning that the symptoms come on
gradually over time.
ANKLE SPRAINS
Ankles sprains occur when the foot
suddenly twists inwards and the

of strain.

A tendinopathy refers to
damage incurred by a tendon
and the subsequent painful
symptoms that follow.

Injury to the calves can be very
painful and severely limiting to

at the lower back and spreads
