Exercising is beneficial to your health but the importance of warm-up cannot be ignored. Insufficient warm-up will increase the risk of sprain during exercise, even more likely to cause fracture.  Some patients underestimate the effect that sprain may bring. They may assume that the injury will recover after the swelling and pain subside. However, the golden time for treatment may be missed if patients only seek medical advice when the condition worsens. Delayed treatment may lead to sequelae such as chronic pain, reduced range of movement, unstable joints and proneness to re-injury etc. Warm-up 15 minutes before exercise not only improves subsequent sports performance, but also reduces the risk of sports injuries, and also helps the body to dissipate heat during exercise. 🔎Read on the following article (*in Chinese only) by Dr Chan to learn more about the treatment to relieve sprain and the benefits of doing warm-up before exercising. 熱身不足易扭傷 忽視處理後果嚴重 疫情期間，遠足和跑步都成為市民的熱門康樂活動。雖然運動可以強身健體，但切勿忽略運動前的熱身，假如缺乏足夠的熱身準備，會大大增加運動時扭傷的風險，嚴重更有機會造成骨折。 不少傷者輕視扭傷，以為痛楚和紅腫消失後便會回復正常，直至傷患惡化才求醫，有可能會因為錯過治療的黃金時間而導致後遺症例如長期痛楚、活動幅度減少、關節不穩定及再次受傷等。運動前15分鐘應進行熱身，除可提升後續的運動表現，更能夠減少受傷的風險，並有助身體在運動時散熱。 🔎想了解更多扭傷時合適的治療方法和熱身的好處？請即閱讀由陳醫生撰寫的文章。 Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong 港怡醫院   "Help Us Help You" and find out the measures we have taken - website: https://bit.ly/3cAbJPI 請與我們同行抗疫，了解本院所採取的相關抗疫措施 - 網站: https://bit.ly/2KiixFh Centre for Health Protection   衞生防護中心 Provide the latest epidemic information and guidelines in Hong Kong  提供香港最新的防疫資訊及指引 Website 網站: https://www.chp.gov.hk/tc/index.html Department of Health 衞生署 Release updated government health policy   公佈政府衞生政策  Website 網站: https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/index.html World Health Organization 世界衞生組織 Provide the latest global epidemic information and guidance  提供全球即時的防疫資訊及指引 Website 網站: http://WHO.int Social media 社交媒體 Contact us 聯絡我們 Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong - 1 Nam Fung Path, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong 港怡醫院 - 香港黃竹坑南風徑 1 號 Mainline 電話: +852 3153 9000 Service Hotline 服務熱線: +852 2122 1333 Website 網站: https://gleneagles.hk/ We are sending this newsletter and other health information to our patients who have shared with us their email contacts. If you do not wish to receive them, please click here to unsubscribe. 我們向已與本院分享電郵地址的病人發放此通訊和其他相關健康資料。 如果您不願意接收相關電郵，請按此取消訂閱。 Copyright © 2022 Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, All rights reserved.
