PREVENTION AND RECOVERY
As any parent of a young athlete knows, sports can be a great way to promote physical activity and teamwork. However, sports also come with a risk of injury. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 30 million children and adolescents participate in organized sports each year, and over 3.5 million injuries occur. While some injuries are inevitable, there are steps that parents and coaches can take to help prevent them. For example, proper warm-ups, and proper active blood flow stretching can help reduce the risk of muscle strains, and potential injuries.
Prevention is key when it comes to working with your sports team. Overuse injuries are a common problem for athletes because of the repetitive motions involved in training. By using a kinesiology-based approach that includes active isolated stretching, you can identify short, tight muscles that could eventually lead to an injury. This technique is not just about sports—it’s about your lifestyle. You can carry this technique with you throughout your career and into the rest of your life, because athletes never stop competing. By focusing on prevention, you can stay healthy and on the field for years to come.
