Many common lower limb injuries could be avoided!

Research has shown that more than half (54%) of sports-related injuries refer to the lower extremities.

Just about anyone who is regularly active will be familiar with, or know someone who has suffered from runner's knee, shin splints, foot or ankle pain.
