The Most Common Type Of Sports Injury!

Unfortunately all sports come with a high risk of injury, some are serious and some are less serious. One of the most common types of sports injury is the dreaded knee injury. Knee related injuries account for approximately 55% of total sports injuries, and can occur for a number of reasons. Believe it or not improper warm up is the most common cause of a knee injury! Please bare this in mind next time you are taking part in any type of sport and ensure you avoid injury by completing a good warm up routine.

 We don't know how we would have survived financially while Shaun was injured without the loss of earning payment coming in. Having the sports accident insurance really helped us get through a difficult time.

A pleasure to deal with, provided a policy that suited our needs (an under 12 football tour to the Ukraine) really helpful on the details and well priced on premium. Will certainly use them again for next year's tour
