The Amazing World of Human Anatomy: Ligaments!
We’ve all heard of ligaments, but have you ever wondered what they are and how they can get injured?
Let us show you!
Anatomy
Ligaments are short bands of tough elastic tissue, made up of an army of individual fibres!
Ligaments connect our bones together and provide support for our joints by passively limiting the amount of movement between your bones.
Fun Fact
The human body has approximately 900 ligaments!
Injury
Even if ligaments are tough and flexible, they could sustain injuries just like any other part of our body!

Case Study
Jo Coulthard came to us following a severe injury to the ankle which involved ligaments and muscles. After a good and well detailed Strength and Conditioning plan with our expert Anna, Jo made a full recovery and achieved his goals.
Here is what Jo had to say about his experience with us!
“Had a severe injury to my ankle in April 2020, after 6months of doing what the doctor said the ankle was still very painful, so much so went to A and E in July. I searched for a physical therapy near me with good reviews. I haven’t been disappointed, Anna in the Southampton branch worked with me to help the torn ligaments and other muscles that had been compensating and had issues. Anna is very friendly and explains everything in layman’s terms, we have had fun nick naming some exercise too! The Physi app they use is really helpful with videos showing you how to do them. I’m continuing with them to build on strength and stamina, it’s been a long road to get to where I am physically and active couldn’t be happier. Thank you Anna and see you soon!”
