I was referred to Dr Parmar by my physio after a bad knee injury. I found Dr Parmar to be extremely knowledgeable, kind and considerate. Don’t be put off by the Elite Sports title of the business - I’m certainly not in that category and was treated so well. The treatment I had went very smoothly, and I felt an almost immediate improvement. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Parmar. I should also mention his wonderful assistant Carmen-so helpful, efficient, kind and friendly.

Eight Core on Instagram: "“Most knee injuries don’t happen by accident. They happen by overload”

In sport we commonly see three major types of knee injury:

• Ligament injuries — like ACL or MCL tears

• Meniscus injuries — damage to the cartilage in the knee

• Tendon injuries — such as patellar tendon overload

The biggest mistake athletes make?

Ignoring the early signs.

Swelling.
Instability.
Pain during training.

Getting the right diagnosis early can make the difference between weeks out… or months on the sidelines.

In this new Injury Education Series, Dr Kal Palmer shares insights from 25 years in sports and exercise medicine helping athletes understand injuries and manage them properly.

Grappling with Injuries – Common Injuries in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that emphasizes ground fighting, submissions, and control, combining technique, strategy, and physicality. While BJJ is generally safer than high-impact sports like MMA or boxing, the close-contact nature and intensity of sparring can lead to injuries. This blog explores the most common injuries in BJJ, their causes, prevention strategies, and treatments.
