Surfs up! And keeping injury risks down
Surfing, whether you are an expert or a first-timer, should be practised with caution. The obvious dangers, like hitting your head when falling off the board, are important to pay attention to, but what about the impact it can have on your musculoskeletal system? Esteemed London-based consultant orthopaedic and sports medicine surgeon Mr Simon Moyes discusses the injuries to be aware of, their symptoms and causes, and why it is important to have injuries diagnosed by a specialist to get the right treatment.
