Sporting injuries on the rise as people get inspired by the Olympics

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 5, 2012 - Running injuries were the most common complaints followed by football and rugby. Tennis injuries were also on the increase. These have been attributed to the recent success of Gold Medal winner and nation’s favourite Andy Murray.

Health experts are urging people to be fully prepared when taking up a new sport and take preventative measures such as using the correct technique, warming up and cooling down, as well as resting and stretching between session.

“It’s the responsibility of health and sports clubs as well to ensure the welfare of their members.” Says Wendy Sharpe, from http://www.club-insure.co.uk  “Most establishments like to keep up to date with the health and wellbeing of their customers. But it’s also important that there is a clear health and safety policy and necessary measures in place to deal with serious accidents and injuries”
