Here are 9 tips from our top performers and Canada’s chiropractors to help you avoid injury and get the most from your favorite sport:

1. Warm Up
Your warmup should include deep breathing exercises, gentle stretching and range of movement exercises, as well as a brisk walk or easy jog to loosen and warm the muscles and joints.

2. Learn Proper Technique
Learn the right technique for your sport from the beginning. Using the wrong sport-specific technique can create incorrect muscle memory and can make it difficult to break bad habits. Poor technique can also cause injury to your joints and muscles.

3. Use the Right Equipment
Make sure your equipment is the right fit, height, and capacity for you to avoid a sports-related injury. Recreational athletes should have their equipment professionally fitted and checked before starting out.

4. Avoid Over-Training
Too much. Too fast. Too soon. Over-training is one of the most common causes of recreational athletic injuries. Take your time and work up to it slowly before pushing yourself too hard. Remember – rest is as important as training.

5. Strength Training
Strength training will help you keep your spine and other body joints functioning optimally. It will also build muscle that is an important shock absorber and helps to prevent strains and sprains.

6. Muscle & Joint Function
Maintaining good muscle and joint range of motion will contribute to your performance and help prevent injury.

7. Cool Down
Cooling down after a workout is just as important as warming up.

8. Drink Fluids
Drink plenty of fluids before, during and after physical activity – even in cold weather. Remember that once you are thirsty, you are already starting to dehydrate. Dehydration affects your energy level

9. Treat Injuries Promptly
If you suffer an injury or experience pain that lasts longer than your usual post-workout soreness, ice the area to reduce swelling and inflammation, and consult a chiropractor.

The Benefits of Cool Laser Therapy:
• Safety
Unlike Class 4 laser systems, which mode of action is to heat tissues, Class 3b Theralase® CLT technology does not generate any appreciable heat; therefore, poses very little thermal risk to tissue. Theralase® laser systems are non-invasive and pain-free, with no known side effects or discomfort to patients.
• Efficacy
Theralase® treatments produce efficacy rates of > 90% and often generate immediate results. More than 4,000 clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Cool Laser Therapy.
• Powerful Alternative for Pain Medication
Theralase® Cool Laser Therapy (“CLT”) treatments are safe and effective alternatives to oral analgesics, corticosteroid injections and op**te pain medications, which have the potential to be highly addictive, relatively toxic, prone to overdose and in extreme cases of opiod abuse, death.

For tennis elbow:
Hold your arm out in front of you, palm facing down, and pull your hand and fingers back towards you using your other hand. Do so gently so as not to cause pain. This shouldn’t be painful, so if it hurts, pull more gently for a slight stretch. This should stretch your forearm. Hold for 30 seconds, relax, and repeat three times.

For golfer’s elbow:
This exercise is similar to the one for tennis elbow, but the hand is inverted to the other direction. Hold your arm out in front of you, palm facing up, and gently pull your hand and fingers back towards your body using your other hand. Hold for 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat three times. You can do these stretches throughout your day.

Reflexology is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment where light pressure is applied to reflex points on the feet or hands using finger and thumb techniques. It is a holistic treatment intended to treat the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of one particular ailment. It can induce a state of relaxation, balance and harmony, which will encourage the body to heal itself. It is based on the premise that the reflexes on the feet are a mirror image of all the organs, glands and parts of the body.
