Physiotherapy Treatments for Cricket Players with AMC Physio Clinic

With the cricket season now in full-swing, it is important for cricketers of all ages and abilities to be aware of some of the inherent injury risks of playing the sport.
ACCORDING to Our CONSULTANT Physiotherapist Dr. Amir following the most common injuries sustained while playing cricket are as follows:

• Hamstring strains
• Side/abdominal strains
• Fractures of the wrist and hand
• Groin injuries
• Lower back injuries (not stress fractures)
• Shin/foot/ankle injuries
• Stress fractures of the lumbar spine

Some key tips to reduce the incidence of injury while cricket include:

• Keeping a close record on number of balls bowled for fast bowlers and ensuring that there is a steady, gradual increase from the start of pre-season and transitioning into games
• Working on core stability, especially for fast bowlers
• Incorporating sprinting into training so the body is used to running at high speeds before being required to do it in a game
• If an injury is sustained that requires time out of the game, a gradual return needs to be made to all elements of the game (bowling, running, throwing, batting) to ensure an adequate chronic workload
