When you participate in sports and physical fitness activities, sprains and strains can be a common occurrence. These can be minimised by warming up correctly for at least 10 minutes, starting slowly and building up gradually. For those over 35 particularly, you should get a complete physical examination before beginning any exercise routine.

Despite the best precautions, injuries can occur but fortunately most can be treated at home by the following RICE treatment regime.

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

In addition, a non- prescription ibuprofen containing pain reliever, such as Advil will help to alleviate pain associated with injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments.

If the pain is severe and persistent , however professional advice should be sought. You should never "play through pain".

Advil is also effective for the fast relief of headache, aches and pains associated with the common cold, muscular pain, backache and dental pain.

quote of the day
"It would be a dream come true to play for my country one day and fingers crossed it might happen. But I don’t think Trapattoni knows my name or even knows about Dundee United Football Club. If I am being honest, I don’t think he has ever been to a game I’ve played in or knows I exist." - A disillusioned Willo Flood.
