Back-to-School, Back to Sports: Top 5 Injury Prevention Tips
As student-athletes gear up for the new school year and return to sports, it's the perfect time to focus on staying healthy and injury-free.
At Island Sports Physical Therapy, we work with athletes of all ages to keep them strong, mobile, and ready for the season.
Top 5 Injury Prevention Tips:
1. Warm Up Properly – Dynamic stretching before activity prepares the body for movement.
2. Build Strength – Focus on core and stabilizing muscles to support joints and prevent strain.
3. Hydrate and Eat Well – Good nutrition and hydration support performance and recovery.
4. Prioritize Rest – Rest days are essential to avoid overuse injuries.
5. Pay Attention to Pain – Don't ignore discomfort. Early treatment can prevent long-term issues.
If your student-athlete is dealing with soreness, tightness, or recurring injuries, we're here to help. Schedule an evaluation with one of our experienced therapists today.
