Summer activities and new toys and the injuries that go with them


So Summer is finally here, and its meant to be a long and hot one. New Zealand's summer consists of sun, beach, Christmas, New Year, Family and lots of fun games and sporting activities.

With all of these activities come certain injuries. A common injury that we thought we would talk about which we see a lot of is Achilles Tendinosis.

Common symptoms of Achilles Tendinosis include pain, stiffness, aching, tenderness and pinching in the side of the tendon. What starts as a mild tendon pain, if left untreated may become a chronic tendinosis and take months to resolve...So better be safe than sorry and get those little niggles checked out!

  1. I have loads of family that live in NZ and most of them and their friends do netball & swimming if you are girls, and rugby union & soccer if you are boys.
    But there are many other sports that they love over there too. Water Sports in New Zealand
