Rugby Physical Therapy in Greenville
Rugby is a high contact sport therefore nearly any injury can occur due to the unpredictability of the scrum and tackle. In addition, there is minimal protective equipment which can increase the incidence and severity of the injuries that occur. Most rugby injuries occur during a game and tend to result from tackles, however some rugby injuries simply develop as a result of overuse in training. Contusions and scrapes are common over the entire body but particularly on the face as it is not covered by any protective equipment. Other common rugby injuries include:
- Ankle Sprains
- Achilles Tendon Problems
- Collateral Ligament Injuries
- Meniscal Injuries of the Knee

- Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries
