Warm Up One of the most important parts of your warm up is to make sure you are hydrated. Drinking water hydrates your muscles so they respond well to your warm-up Gradually warm up, warming the core of the body and individual muscles. Neck Exercise Neck exercise – With your chin close to your chest begin to rotate your head clockwise then anti-clockwise. Be careful to do this injury slowly and do not jerk. This exercise should be performed with great care. Shoulder Exercise
Start by shrugging your shoulders then gradually move into a roll motion, rolling your shoulders back.
Legs Exercise
Lean forward against a wall. Keeping your rear leg straight with your heel touching the ground bring your chest closer to the wall. Keep your leg straight with your heel flat on the ground and hold for 10 to 20 seconds. Repeat this exercise with using your other leg.

What to do if you suffer a injury?

Ankle Sprain
One of the most common running injuries is an ankle sprain. An Ankle Sprain is can be caused by a sudden movement or twist. Often when the foot rolls in it can overstretch the supporting ligaments, causing ligament tears and bleeding around the joint. This is known as a sprain. This is a common injury, it always occurs in activities that require running, jumping and change of direction (such as basketball, netball, football/soccer). Some people are particularly prone to recurring ankle sprainsTreatment
Immediately after suffering the injury it is important to apply cold therapy and use the R.I.C.E technique (
rest, ice, compression, elevation)
Recovery
To speed your recovery you will be required to wear an Ankle Support. Pain Control stock a number of Ankle Supports including a Comfort Ankle Support with Gel Pad

Steven Hinchliffe asked: Valuing personal injury claims depends on the accident victim’s individual circumstances. An injury compensation claim comprises:-
(1) GENERAL DAMAGES for the pain and suffering caused by the injury and any treatment
(2) SPECIAL DAMAGES to reimburse financial losses incurred or expenses paid
Claims solicitors aim to recover full compensation for their clients and can normally offer a free service.
It is important to remember that to receive personal injury compensation the accident victim’s opponent must be found to be either partly or fully responsible for the accident and injury. There will always be situations where no-one is at fault, when no compensation will be awarded.
GENERAL DAMAGESThis depends on the type of injury suffered, how long it will take to recover and whether there will be any lasting effects.
An injury compensation claim can also include damages for any “loss of amenity”, ie the extent to which life has been affected by the accident. For example, when a keen golfer suffers an accident and cannot play because of their injury, even if only for a short time.
Typical awards made in personal injury claims:-Broken arm/leg – £4,000 to £11,000
Broken ribs – £1,750 to £2,750
Broken finger/toe – £1,600 to £3,000
Broken nose – £1,400 to £2,250
Whiplash – £1,250 to £8,500
Claims solicitors will arrange for the injured person to be examined by a medical consultant, who prepares a report detailing the injuries. This enables the true value of the injury compensation claim to be assessed.
SPECIAL DAMAGESExamples of items that can be claimed include:-a) Lost earnings – including wages already lost and, if appropriate, anticipated future lost wages. Future losses take into account pay increases, promotion prospects and other benefits (eg pension) that would have been enjoyed if the accident had not happened.
b) Travelling expenses – including visits to GP, hospital or other practitioner providing treatment.
c) Medical and care expenses – including prescription charges, non-prescription items (eg pain killers, creams, bandages, etc), privately paid physiotherapy or other treatment, the care and assistance provided by a private agency or by family and friends (eg helping with personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, shopping, gardening, etc).
There are many items of loss or expenditure that can be included in an injury compensation claim, but they must be as a direct result of the accident and ideally evidenced by invoices or receipts.
Payment of CompensationFor personal injury claims where liability for the accident is admitted and all elements of the compensation are agreed with the opponent’s insurers, payment is usually made within 14 days of agreement being reached.
If the injury is severe and the long term prognosis is unclear, claims solicitors should be able to negotiate an upfront payment for part of the full value of the injury compensation claim, to help the injured person meet their financial obligations while recovering.
