February 7, 2024
This is a subtitle for your new post
Dental injuries are among the most common injuries that occur during sport, leisure and recreation activities, with young people most at risk. The types of injuries incurred include:
• Chipped, broken or knocked out teeth
• Fractured crowns or bridgework
• Root damage to the teeth
• Cuts to lips, gums, tongue or cheeks
• Fractured or broken jaws
• Concussions
Any athlete may be at risk of dental injury, but these can be prevented with the use of a mouth guard.

At Sports Lab, we're diving into the world of swimming injuries and performance optimisation. Our team, boasting former Australian swimming representatives and seasoned physiotherapists who've worked with Swimming Australia, is uniquely positioned to address the challenges faced by swimmers at all levels.

This episode covers simple exercises that can be done at your desk in a chair. Many of us are spending extended periods of time at our computers at home or our desks at work, and movement and stretching is essential! Our bodies rely on good circulation to stay healthy and feel alert. Movement is one of the most obvious ways to get the blood flowing! Give Naz's exercises a try, and consider booking in with one of Sports Lab's therapists if you need some advice and support in setting up your working area space ergonomically.
