PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR THE EVERYDAY ATHLETE

Running is one of Singapore’s most popular fitness activities, but up to 50% of runners experience injuries each year—often due to overtraining, inefficient running form, or inappropriate footwear. Whether you're a casual jogger or a competitive athlete, understanding how injuries occur is key to staying healthy and consistent. Common issues like knee pain, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis are often signs that your body is being pushed beyond its limits or compensating for existing weaknesses.

This blog explores the most frequent running mistakes and how they can be avoided through smarter training strategies. Learn how to manage training load, select the right running surfaces, and ensure your gait mechanics are working in your favour—not against you.

You'll also discover practical advice on injury prevention—from the importance of warm-ups and cooldowns, to integrating strength training, scheduling rest days, and maintaining hydration and nutrition. If you’re already experiencing pain, we cover how to respond using the R.I.C.E. method, and why physiotherapy can be a game-changer in recovery and performance. Our team at Milestone Physiotherapy provides expert running assessments, manual therapy, and customised rehabilitation plans to get you back on track—safely and confidently.

In Singapore’s fast-paced work culture, long hours at desks or remote setups can take a serious toll on your body. Poor posture, repetitive strain, and non-ergonomic workstations often lead to back pain, neck tension, wrist injuries, and fatigue. Ergonomic physiotherapy in Singapore addresses these issues through personalised assessments and workplace adjustments to reduce pain and improve performance.

From adjusting monitor height and desk layout to prescribing targeted exercises, physiotherapists help you create a workspace that supports your body, not strains it. Whether you're in an office, healthcare, manufacturing, or working from home, ergonomic physiotherapy enhances productivity, reduces injury risk, and boosts overall well-being.

Milestone Physiotherapy offers ergonomic assessments and treatment plans tailored to Singapore’s diverse workforce. Invest in your health—book a consultation today and transform how you work, move, and feel.

Suffered an ACL injury in Singapore? Whether you’re an athlete or an active individual, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear can be a major setback—but recovery is entirely possible with the right care. This in-depth guide explains everything you need to know about ACL reconstruction, including causes, symptoms, treatment options, and the myths that often cause confusion.

Learn about the early signs of injury like a “popping” sensation, swelling, and instability, and understand how physiotherapy—before and after surgery—plays a critical role in restoring strength and function.
