Football

Common football injuries

In football, ankle injuries are the most common, followed by knee, thigh and hip injuries.

An injury can be caused by several factors. Footwear, the playing surface and the amount of load are all very important. The position and range of movement of the foot, leg, hip and back also matter.

The podotherapeutic examination

The podotherapeutic examination is aimed at analysing football-specific movements in combination with the playing surface and footwear, with the goal of identifying the cause of the complaint.

Children who play football

Children can experience growth-related complaints in the feet, ankles, knees, hips and pelvis, which reduces their enjoyment of football. Good footwear advice, whether or not combined with podotherapeutic insoles, gets these children back on the pitch quickly.
