What is the difference between a 'Sprain' and a 'Strain'?
Created by Pooja Gupta (4 months ago)
A 'Sprain' is a stretch or tear of a ligament (connecting bone to bone). A 'Strain' is an injury to a muscle or a tendon (connecting muscle to bone). Both require rest and gradual rehab.

Is it safe to exercise with a 'Cold'?
Created by Noor Khan (4 months ago)
The 'Neck Rule' applies: If symptoms are above the neck (runny nose, sneezing), mild exercise is okay. If symptoms are below the neck (chest congestion, body aches, fever), you must rest.

How to prevent 'Runner’s Knee'?
Created by Faizan Siddiqui (4 months ago)
Strengthen your quadriceps and glutes to provide better support to the kneecap. Ensure your running shoes are not worn out; most shoes lose their cushioning after 500–800 km.
