All About Sports Injuries
Whether you are a weekend warrior, a dedicated gym-goer, or a professional athlete, sports injuries can happen when you least expect them. When muscles, ligaments, or joints are pushed beyond their limits—by a sudden twist, a fall, or repetitive strain. Expert care is essential for a full recovery.
At Altius Clinic, our experienced orthopaedic specialists help patients in Singapore return to the sports they love, from football and padel to cycling and golf.

Prevention Tips
Prevention is always better than a cure! Here are a few ways to keep injuries at bay:
- Warm Up & Cool Down
Prepare your muscles for the load. - Gradual Progression
Increase training intensity gradually, no more than 10% per week. - Use the Right Equipment & Proper Form
Work with coaches or specialists to ensure correct biomechanics. - Stay flexible and work on muscle balance
- Rest when needed
listen to your body and do not “push through" or “ignore” any signs
