Episode 31 - Common injuries in strength sports - and how to avoid them

Episode 31

Monday, June 15, 2026 • Duration 51:38

Keywords

strength sports, injuries, physiotherapy, tendonitis, tendinopathy, impingement, bursitis, compression, back injuries, injury prevention

Summary

In this episode, Samantha, a physiotherapist and owner of Form 360 Physiotherapy, discusses common injuries in strength sports, their causes, and management strategies. She emphasizes the importance of understanding injuries, the differences between tendonitis and tendinopathy, and the role of gender in injury prevalence. The conversation also covers the significance of proper technique, the psychological aspects of training, and practical tips for injury prevention and recovery.

Takeaways

Common injuries in strength sports include tendonitis, impingement, and back issues. Tendonitis is acute inflammation, while tendinopathy is a chronic condition. Women may have a higher risk of injury due to hypermobility. Strength training can help prevent injuries, especially in hypermobile individuals. Proper technique and coaching are crucial in preventing injuries. Compression-related issues are common in strength sports, particularly in the back. Education about injuries is essential for effective management and recovery. Movement is key; don't be afraid to move in all directions during recovery. Loading injuries appropriately is important for healing and preventing future issues. Progressive overload and periodization are vital for safe strength training.

Today, I’m joined by Elinor East, an experienced physiotherapist from Movement Perfected.

Together, we’ll be exploring three key areas:

The clinical impact of poor bra fitting - from shoulder and back pain to posture, confidence, and mental health.
The role of breast support in sports performance - including fascinating research from Portsmouth University showing how the right bra can improve stride length, breathing, and energy efficiency.
And finally, the art and science of bra fitting - how style, material, brand, and even the time of the month can change the fit and feel, and why getting this right can transform comfort and confidence in movement.
