An overuse injury is typically a muscle or joint injury that is caused by any repetitive action or movement. These are seen in sports with such movements such as rowing, as well as jobs requiring repetitive movements, which can even be a desk job caused by typing throughout the day. Symptoms of an overuse injury may be swelling, tenderness, redness, limited range of motion of the affected area, and impaired function of the affected area.

Some people may continuously experience overuse injuries, which can be very frustrating and painful to keep managing at all times and treating. It would make sense that these injuries are common for some people, since after getting one overuse injury that is quickly treated and back to normal, one may assume that they can get back to the activity that caused it. There are certain ways to actively work to prevent their occurrence or reoccurrence in sports, which include the following measures:

  • Warm-up before the activity by stretching and warm-down by stretching after the activity.
  • Implement strength and flexibility conditioning to avoid a sudden, intense start of the season for an activity.
  • Do not push yourself beyond the pain you are feeling – this is a sign to stop.
  • Practice and improve technique and form.
  • Increase workouts gradually, such as increasing your normal weight lifting load by 5 pounds rather than 50 pounds.
  • Run on soft and flat surfaces.

If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
