HOW CAN I PREVENT OR AVOID A KNEE INJURY WHILE PLAYING RUGBY?

 

Playing rugby at any level brings with it a risk of knee injury. While rugby requires a lot of finesse and strategy it is a contact sport and the additional strain on your joints can take it’s toll.

Wearing a Bauerfeind brace or knee support can minimise your chances of injury by providing enhanced stability, protection and medical-grade compression.

      SHOULD I SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT KNEE PAIN WHEN PLAYING RUGBY AND OTHER SPORTS?

      If you have knee pain that persists over a few weeks, then it is recommended you see your doctor to check for damage to your knee and surrounding muscles and ligaments.

      HOW TO TREAT A RUGBY INJURY?

      We recommend visiting a physiotherapist for treatment and advice on treating common rugby injuries. They may recommend the following treatments.
      • Strains or Sprains. Many sprains and strains can be treated with the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. A good physiotherapist can assist with the recovery however prevention is always better than cure.
      • Runner’s Knee. This is the common name for patellofemoral pain syndrome. This is often due to abnormal mechanics caused by problems close to the knee, forcing the patella to bump against the femoral groove. We recommend speaking with a running specific physiotherapist, they will usually review your running form as well tissue and musculature.
      • Meniscal Tearing. Simple meniscal tears may be treated with the RICE method and anti-inflammatory medications. Advanced tears may require surgery. If you have lost some or all of your meniscus you may want to use a hinged knee brace like the GenuTrain S.
