Whether you’re a sports person or you enjoy light exercise, everyday activities  can unexpectedly put you out of action.

Pushing yourself too hard during sport or overdoing everyday activities may be enough to trigger muscle or joint pain.

Pain in the area of a joint can occur if any of the soft tissue structures that surround the joint, such as tendons, ligaments or muscles, are injured.
The result may be restricted movement, making it difficult to carry out normal activities and do the things you enjoy without missing out on all the fun.

PREVENTING INJURIES
You can reduce the chance of injury by taking simple precautions:

• Don’t overdo activities: Especially new ones that your body is not used to.
• When playing sport: Always warm up thoroughly and do a few stretching exercises.
• Treat any injuries promptly:  If you get a sprain or strain, follow the RICER method (rest, ice, compression, elevation, referral) for the first 48 hours after an injury. And ask your pharmacist for advice on medicines to reduce pain and assist recovery.
