Hallux Rigidus is a form of degenerative arthritis that affects the big toe joint, leading to stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion. In athletes, this condition can worsen over time due to repetitive impact, poor footwear, or untreated microtrauma. It may begin as mild discomfort during toe-off but can progress to severe joint degeneration if left unaddressed. In this article, we describe the causes, symptoms, and physiotherapy strategies for managing hallux rigidus and maintaining athletic performance.

March fractures are stress fractures in the metatarsal bones, often affecting dancers, runners, and athletes who do repetitive footwork. Early detection and load management are essential to avoid complications or re-injury.

Lumbar degenerative disc disease affects the lower spine and is characterized by progressive wear of the intervertebral discs. Though more common in adults, early signs may appear in athletes under repeated lumbar strain or poor posture.

A fifth metatarsal fracture is a common foot injury among athletes, especially from twisting motions or direct impact. Symptoms include swelling, lateral foot pain, and difficulty walking. Early care ensures quicker recovery and return to play.

The Sesamoid Injury is a common condition that affects the sesamoids, which are found in the tendon of the big toe. These bones are important for the stability and movement of the big toe, and an injury to them can be very painful and disabling.
