We take care of a TON of sports injuries (most notably ankle sprains, knee pain, shoulder pain and back pain).
To avoid those injuries, here are the three absolutely critical steps to take:
1. Hydrate before, during and after practices & games
- We recommend drinking 24 oz. - 32 oz. of water 2 hours before each practice and game and continue sipping water throughout. Your muscles and joints perform much better when properly hydrated
2. Do a dynamic warm up to prepare for play
- You’ll see teams and players stretch before game and contrary to popular belief, this can actually put you at great risk for injury. Stretching cold muscles doesn’t improve performance, but a dynamic warm up can.
3. Stretch after each practice and game
- Take 10-15 minutes after each practice and game to loosen up. Stretch, twist, bend, move. Stretching after physical activity has been shown to improve recovery times and reduce sports injuries.
