Injuries and tissue types

There are two types of tissue that will be discussed in relation to sporting injuries. The soft-tissues of the body include skin, fibrous-connective tissue, muscle, tendon, ligament, bursae, synovium, and fibro-cartilage. These are the tissues that are commonly attended to in sports therapy.

Bone, articular cartilage, and the rough, fibrous, outer membrane of bone - periosteum - are considered to be the hard-tissues of the body.

Please follow the link below to view common types of injuries affecting these tissues.
