STRESS FRACTURES

Stress fractures are small cracks or fractures in bones that are typically caused by repetitive stress, overuse, or repetitive loading of the bone over time. Stress fractures occur gradually as a consequence of repetitive impact or forces placed on the bone, as opposed to acute fractures, which are the result of a single traumatic incident. Athletes, runners, and those who engage in high-impact activities frequently experience them. Weight-bearing bones including the tibia (shinbone), metatarsals (foot bones), and fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg) are especially susceptible to stress fractures. At Run Ready, we provide a unique sports physiotherapy model that delivers a professional standard rehabilitation experience. We optimise recovery from all types of injuries via an integrated process of sports physiotherapy and rehab in our state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility.
