Avoiding Sports Related Injuries

As winter starts to wind down (fingers crossed this is the last cold snap of the season!) and Spring sports and activities start picking up it’s important to take preventative measures to protect your body from injury. Here are some ways you can greatly reduce your chances of getting hurt while still playing the games you love:

1. Keep your weight down.
2. Maintain a healthy, nutritious diet.
3. Incorporate low-impact exercise into your routine.
4. Leave ample time for stretching before and after your activity. Warm up and cool down.
5. Participate in a sport at your level.

Ultimately, the most important thing you can do as an athlete is prepare- prepare your schedule, your lifestyle and your body for a healthy sports season. If you are injured don’t put off a visit to your doctor; new diagnostics and rehabilitation techniques can get you back in the game much faster if you act quickly.
